This chapter analyzes three stops along the life path of the influential metaphor the brain is a computer and the mind is its program. At the first two stops, the philosophers Searle, Hofstadter and Dennett argue about the literal truth of this metaphor in two academic papers. They embed the metaphor in complex metaphorical analogies, i.e., deliberate metaphors, for primarily persuasive purposes. The last stop analyzed is an academic lecture in philosophy which aims at explaining the metaphorical reasoning of the philosophers. The analysis focuses on the professor’s modifications of one of Searle’s deliberate metaphors. These modifications result in a misrepresentation of Searle’s view on the mind. Linguistic evidence indicates that this misrepresentation influences the students’ concept of the mind.
