Which is not at all a boring question. It's equivalent to asking weather current architectures are enough to reach AGI.

There is currently zero evidence to suggest that human thinking violates any of the basics principles of the theory of computation nor extend the existing limits of computability.

It is because you aren't introducing any evidence to theoretically challenge what we've already know about computation for almost 100 years now.
