Is this your logic?

human brains have conscious awareness
human brains have temporal matching circuits

curt's circuits are temporal matching circuits

Except for the couple of books worth of details you
left out, sure, that's the overall logic.


Perhaps you could enlighten me on the logic for
it appears to me that the first part of the above
commits the fallacy of division?


I've written a reply three times now. And I've deleted
it three times because no matter what I write, I know
you are not going to follow it. I've written it all at
least 10 times in the past, and you still don't get
even the basics of it.


The answer is that I have no more time to keep explaining
to you things that are beyond your ability to understand.


You think that when you sense thoughts springing into
your head, that there is something magical happening -
something that science and physics doesn't already fully
understand. But that's just not true. Nothing magical
or hard to understand is happening. It's just an illusion
that makes it seem magical. Until you can understand it's
just an illusion, you will never be able to follow
anything I write about it. You, like many people, are
being fooled by an illusion and it's apparently beyond
your ability to even comprehend that it's an illusion.
I've tired for years to help you see the truth, but I'm
now out of time. You will have to figure it out for
yourself. Sorry.

That's alright Curt I knew you wouldn't be able to explain
how the brain produces the illusion because it is clear you
and no one else has yet worked it out. In the meantime you
can go on pretending I must believe it is something magical,
despite my denial of such a belief, and maybe one day an
Einstein of the brain will work it out and you will be able
to say "I told you so".
