For a very long time, we thought that the business of holding and manipulating abstractions was the sole possession of this thing we called a "soul". That it was beyond the ability of inanimate matter to do so....and unique to us in this world.
Turns out we were wrong about that...and wrong about how we did it, too...lol. Some of the greatest thinkers of antiquity got shit profoundly wrong on account of this bias, and people, on account of their bias towards those guys authority, perpetuated that initial mistake for centuries getting even more things profoundly wrong. Going so far as to base their "sophisticated theology" on it. It's still with us today.
Then we came up with this method, can't for the life of me recall it's name (lol), that both showed us how profoundly wrong we had been -and- helped us to create the machine that demonstrates how profoundly wrong we had been.
