@altruios@mastodon.social @jadedtwin@corteximplant.com @WhiteCatTamer@mastodon.online @Eatsbluecrayon@rollenspiel.social Sounds like determinism. > From the count of neurons firing, to their relations and positions: every “emotion” can be described with numbers. As I remember, we can't do that because: 1) we still don't know how the human brain and consciousness works 2) On MRI we can see some common (for each human being) zones in brain, firing up when some common emotion occurs, thats all. 3) https://aeon.co/essays/your-brain-does-not-process-information-and-it-is-not-a-computer

@evgandr@mas.to @jadedtwin@corteximplant.com @WhiteCatTamer@mastodon.online @Eatsbluecrayon@rollenspiel.social Regarding the brain not being a computer… I get the articles point: but there’s some (willful?) blind spots in those arguments. Short form comments aren’t a way to have that discussion. I’ll get my thoughts together on that. Of course I mean to say I don’t think humans can literally see or process that much info to that accuracy, if that wasn’t implicit. Laws of physics still apply.

@evgandr@mas.to @altruios@mastodon.social @jadedtwin@corteximplant.com @WhiteCatTamer@mastodon.online @Eatsbluecrayon@rollenspiel.social True, *we* cannot describe every emotion by numbers. That doesn't mean it is impossible.

@evgandr@mas.to @altruios@mastodon.social @jadedtwin@corteximplant.com @WhiteCatTamer@mastodon.online @Eatsbluecrayon@rollenspiel.social our brains DO process information - but it’s NOTHING like a computer, and don’t let anyone tell you it is.
