no you can't

You do need quantum mechanics to understand how a wheel works, if you didn't you wouldn't understand it, in any other universe the laws of nature could be different and you'd have nothing that bears any resemblance to a wheel.
the 'small and large' scale (quantum + relativity) is only used to help us, to pretend that they don't interact is loony.
Referring to the medium sized realm predictions as being 'pretty good' doesn't help with your computer, satellites don't work in the medium world without a little help from quantum physics, quantum is real and the only thing your computer will be outputting is random shit! quantum physics relates to the real world.

how would you be feeding the brain (+universe) information into the computer? neuron at a time or electron at a time?
