From: Immortalist on 30 Jun 2010 21:34 Modularity of mind is the notion that a mind may, at least in part, be composed of separate innate structures which have established, evolutionarily developed functional purposes. Proponents believe this view is implied by Noam Chomsky's concept of a universal, generative grammar. Such universal features of language imply the existence of an underlying "language acquisition device" structure in the brain. This device is postulated to be autonomous and specialized for learning language rapidlya module. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modularity_of_mind http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_module According to the massive modularity thesis, the mind is modular (in some sense) through and through, including the parts responsible for high-level cognition functions like belief fixation, problem-solving, planning, and the like. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/modularity-mind/ http://ruccs.rutgers.edu/forums/seminar3_spring05/Fodor_1983.pdf

Some sort of allusion to the notion that there's some soul food in the brains matter? Perhaps I'll wake up one day and remember that i don't remember? How would my soul food slice in the MRI account for those neurons taking a vacation? As another perhaps, we'd be able to bottle up those buzzing bees of selfhood, sleeping at the wheel and format them onto shrikeback's DVD of a self- made flag and burp up HAL into existence?

So if this word and concept can be so generally applied how can it not be just slang of the moment? What isn't composed of "separate innate structures"? Modularity of existence, as one example, the entire human body as another. So it comes down to 'mind' and what this word means.

LOL.. did you copyright this? If so how much per use is "Buzzing bees of selfhood"? |
