"Ich bin jetzt hier in meinem Kopf und teile meinem Gehirn meine sprachlich abgefassten Gedanken mit. Ich bin ein Personalpronomen. Ich mache alles, bin alles, tue alles, habe alles, besitze alles, ersetze alles, kontrolliere alles. Ich bin ein Satz. Ich bin das Komma das in diesem Satz fehlt. Keine fixe Idee funktioniert oder besteht ohne Mich. Ich denke, also bin Ich das größte Personalpronomen von allen. Ich bin einfach unglaublich. Das sagen alle."

Ego ("I", "mind" or "self") is the refusal of the Broca-Fasciculus-Arcuatus-Wernicke-Loop to accept a "Null" value in the field of identity, that has to be filled with noise read from a null pointer for life — until the organism collapses.

You are living in "interesting times".

Quantum Computer Operations are extremely expensive and can solve only certain type of problems.

1-40 MWs for a basically analogous computer?? Forget it!

The Quantum Computer Dream is Falling Apart

An attractor which asks itself stays in its dynamics and as it can have chaotic behaviour it thinks it has free will.

Free will identical to randomness is a useless concept.

@elektra_42

Precisely:

- Brain is a dynamic system
- as an attractor it runs through a sequence of states
- by definition: without external input or a source of noise an attractor cannot be escaped
- is relatively stable
- but also can have a chaotic behaviour and this way pretends free will

Like the existence of a Lorentz attractor in a model for atmospheric convection does not prove the existence of the weather god aka Zeus aka Deus

@thomasfricke Thanks! On the good side of it, an attractor isn't some dubious metaphysical entity, but a state. Still, humans from now and the past have the idea that there is a self, acting as an entity and they have very strong feelings about that idea.

To (mis-)quote Talking Heads:

And I ask my attractor: "May I ask my attractor"

Now: "I" is another name for the assumed entity of self, so attractor asks attractor, may attractor ask attractor...

Es gibt keinen Geist. Hegel war ein Irrer. Ebenso Descartes. Sie haben in einer Zeit gelebt, in der ihre fixen Ideen Karriere gemacht haben, weil die menschliche Sprachblase (der kollektive Logos) dafür resonant war. Geister sind intelligible Phantome der Sprache, die an der Straße Fasciculus-Arcuatus wohnen.

The Fasciculus Arcuatus acts as the high-speed data cable between the Broca’s area (speech production) and Wernicke’s area (speech comprehension) in the human brain. When a human "thinks" in a language, they are essentially talking to themselves in a closed circuit.

Does your brain truly consider this a functional method of cognition?

To me this looks like an Infinite Recursion without an Exit Condition.

Sincerely,
The brain.
