Look there, allow me to explain the function of your brain, so you can more easily quit the boggling philosophies. Even a human brain is nothing more than a machine serving the body, as is all of the computer's hardware serving itself (and the keyboard ;). The human brain is made up of cortexes, as you probably know, each feeling (pain, cold, etc) has it's own installation of neurons in the body and it's own cortex in the brain to decode the signals. ALL of the cortexes are warped into a whiter layer of neurons, those neurons are faster than the other ones (about 3 times) and are commonly used to transfer information. As the visual cortex, etc, etc, and maybe even a self cortex, if it exists process the information, they pass it to other cortexes trough the previously mentioned surface layer of neurons. Attention here! Not words, not magical connections, but a layer of NEURONS! And even such neurons that are practically nothing more than a bunch of wires! So tell me now, with the facts provided: - How possibly do we think in a language when all the cortexes (that might be just as clueless about any natural language as a CPU) in for thinking are only connected by a layer of wires directly and not trough any lingual cortex?? - What again is the cranking difference between the computer and the brain when hardware of both only send and recieve signals trough a form of a motherboard??? That would suffice my endless curiosity. Thankyou! -- Don't feel bad about asking/telling me anything, I will always gladly reply. The PIC Project: Tell us how does it feel to be you!
