I didn't see any "proof", just 336 lines of assertions. Try again.

Spot on Raven!

I read the whole bloody thing!
Assertions , argument from ignorance, argument from incredulity and
argument from adverse consequence plus lots of hand-waving waffle!
A ripoff.
I want my 20 mins of life back!
grrrrrr.

Its like object ooriented programming where the data is generic, coded,
and the brain has to put the information in context.

Its as if the software for consciiousness was generic, could be used in
any environmet, any world for that matter, any language, any
circumstance, but the brain puts the data into local context.

Keep in mind we are generalizing here because some functions of the brain
are purely mechanical for mechanical purposes.

Consciousness does not arise in the brain in a nueral net. We know that
because there are people who have no cerebral cortex who are conscious.

ref:Consciousness without a Cortex, a Challenge for Neuroscience.

So where does it come from?

Well it's a signal to the pineal gland. Software running in a conscious
computer on two levels. Instinctual behaviors and sentience.

They knew that in 1600. Some people still know that. But its a secret.

Thats the moon, two antenna, and on the left the sentient signal and on
the right, instinct. The signal is represented as a dove since this was
200 years before Hertz and Maxwell and Marconi.

Is this the type of thing they could tech in school even if it is the
truth which it is?
