WHY ISN’T THE SIMPLICITY OF THE BRAIN COMMON KNOWLEDGE?
I wonder why the rather simplicity of the process is such uncommon knowledge when 3d video games using points, vertexes, triangles, planes, and patters applied to those triangular planes, then distinguishing by classes between backgrounds, objects, and actors, and composing scenes within a visual horizon distance, and decreasing resolution with distance – well that’s pretty much what the brain does?
I mean, computers do it the way they do because it’s frankly the only way to do it and it’s partly because it’s impossible to increase the efficiency by any other digital means. The same is true of the neurons which are just on or off, and in frequencies, and together must describe the world to us with those limited resources quickly and efficiently.
I mean, abstractly, what the brain does is kind of simple at it’s first principle, but there is just a LOT OF IT in a VAST hierarchy that uses competition to produce both filtering and coherence.
So why is this nonsense that the brain is complex really persisting. Even consciousness is just a memory effect of a hierarchy of memories re-experienced by current stimulation
I mean, while it’s an analogy it’s a very close one. And can serve as a valuable educational tool, demystifying the brain’s operations by comparing them to more familiar technologies like video games – helping teach complex biological processes in more relatable terms, making this “uncommon knowledge” more accessible.
