MInsky
Its funny to read the Minsky paper because I have done some research in a bioinformatics lab doing some imaging work with cells and neural maps/networks of axons and boutons...to read the brain in such a light as linkage to nerve endings is exactly how I think of it. The fact that the brain only functions in these capacities is only logical because of its fundamental purpose. But then when I think about the brain again I see it as this diverse tool that you can train in different realms depending on the task...making the difference using the right or left sides. The unconscious/mind is a powerful thing that from the simplest alter can cause someone to go crazy. With the capabilities that exist its no wonder UNCF uses the phrase "the mind is a terrible thing to waste." So yes the brain sits inside of the skull hidden from the light, but it serves sooo many purposes we have to protect it from harm.
