Of course we know much more about the brain than did Aristotle. I think the writer is very clear on just what we have "no effing clue" about.gcallahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065877215969589482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-50279554576707440922015-11-04T15:19:30.099-05:002015-11-04T15:19:30.099-05:00Yes, I got that part. "No ****ing clue"...Yes, I got that part. "No ****ing clue" is still ridiculous hyperbole that would encompass "we never learned anything relative to some historic baseline". So you are, it seems, saying that, or don't appreciate what complete ignorance would actually look like.Silas Bartahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09480427306873460464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-32845993814464053212015-11-04T13:29:15.290-05:002015-11-04T13:29:15.290-05:00Silas, did you actually read the original piece?

You're saying we're no better today than Aristotle's "brain as blood refrigerator"? No progress on neural nets? On knowing under what conditions the brain will perform better or worse (what makes human brains work so well, parameters)?Silas Bartahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09480427306873460464noreply@blogger.com
