And you have no idea what is actually happening in
the brain either. You just make things up about the
brain that you imagine must be happening there just
like the Catholic church when they claimed they didn't
have to look through Galileo’s telescope because they
"knew" without looking what had to be there.

It seems to me that a problem you have, is that you
are far too invested in, and trusting of, the nonsense
that culture has trained you to believe. As such,
when I try to express new ways of thinking about the
brain, you keep trying to understand it in terms of
what your culture has taught you to believe, instead
of being able to break free from that and understand
something new in its own light.

Curt you know very little to nothing about the brain,
you admit this yourself. I don't learn things about the
brain from my culture, I learn it from the neurological
and psychology experiments that have been done.

But all that is a separate issue to any man made machine
that can be understood in its own right be it your pulse
sorting network or any of the networks built so far.

If you want to talk about machines that learn and show
me your experiments in that area, based on any old crazy
idea you may have, then I am very interested but no more
religion thank you very much. You look for gold in your
hills and give us a yell if you find any but keep the
actual location secret if you want to profit from it ;)
