There has been some equal,and redemption figures, wheather the science,or non,a recall of how the human mind can change from a simple thought,to making something into a tool, to use it to thier advanage, or,when they compaire Einstien’s brain to Kim Peeks brain,and think they can put thought’s in a persons brain,or simply think they can, that does’nt work past the fact that a persons mind has a hard time to addapt to others thought’s,without washing that persons mind,perhaps in a hard controlled think-tank, with-without drugs. Di-secting there brain,its much more than that,it’s the actual thought’s that make the memory,and a human a human! We all have individual thought’s on what we are interested in,our thoughts,being me! In that thought,to take someone’s mind,and compaire it to someone’eles thought’s,in some way,make us feel that we have to live by a standard of thinking,or a way of life, we all have a standard of thought’,I guess it depends on what our minds diserns as to what is right ,and what is wrong,atleast to our moral’s of being civilized,being human,that is,and how we were brought up,or programmed in things we believe in,or not. How the human mind works,how its defined,Dont you think its wrong, or,right, to see that Kim’s brain is just as explorable as Albert’s,and respected,or is it just another high-tech way of analizing a persons brain more efficintally with what’s understood,or trying to understand the brain itself. The brain is one of the least understood parts of the human body,possibly a micro-volt system of electronic sub-way’s & paths,along with chemical -bios-natural-cell based system that is involved in a more complex system than we can understand at this moment in time,an exploritory can’t hurt at this moment. The computer has alot to say in this future world,more than you THINK!! Why would they even compair these brains,unless they thought it could help them,or us, some way,possibly a more intelligent (faster),sub system,a system that seems to work around the mechanical,chemical,BIOS,integrated curcuit’s combined. I think that’s what they,re working on now. Sorry,was’nt thinking,This should belong to other than G.Q. ---

I’ll give it a shot. There has been some equal, and redemption figures [can’t figure out this bit], whether science or otherwise, a recall of how the human mind can change from a simple thought to making something into a tool to use it to their advantage; or, when they compaire Einstein’s brain to Kim Peek’s brain,and think they can put thoughts in a person’s brain (or simply think they can) that doesn’t work past the fact that a person’s mind has a hard time adapting to others’ thoughts without washing that person’s mind, perhaps in a hard, controlled thinktank, with or without drugs. Dissecting their brain, it’s much more than that - it’s the actual thoughts that make the memory and make a human a human! We all have individual thoughts on what we are interested in, and our thoughts make us individuals. In that thought, to take someone’s mind and compare it to someone else’s thoughts, in some way makes us feel that we have to live by a standard of thinking, or a way of life - we all have a standard of thought. I guess it depends on what our minds diserns as to what is right, and what is wrong, at least to our morals; being civilized - being human, that is - and how we were brought up, or programmed in things we believe in or not. How the human mind works, how it’s defined - don’t you think it’s wrong, or right, to see that Kim’s brain is just as explorable as Albert’s, and as respected, or is it just another high-tech way of analyzing a person’s brain more efficiently with what’s understood,or trying to understand the brain itself. The brain is one of the least-understood parts of the human body, possibly a micro-volt system of electronic subways & paths, along with chemical -bios-natural-cell based system that is involved in a more complex system than we can understand at this moment in time (an exploratory can’t hurt at this moment). The computer has alot to say in this future world - more than you think! Why would they even compare these brains unless they thought it could help them or us some way, possibly a more intelligent (faster), sub system, a system that seems to work around the mechanical, chemical, BIOS, integrated circuits combined. I think that’s what they’re working on now. Now that the punctuation and such things are more manageable, maybe someone else can find an appropriate answer:) ---

Hi there. For future reference, mitchy, you can copy and paste a post into the correct forum before hitting submit. You also might want to try putting a space after your commas, it makes your text much easier to read. Welcome to the SDMB! ---

Rain Man, if he’s… oh. (although, given his “debating” style so far, I’m going to bet on the Mods in the inevitable “Mitchy vs. the Mods.”) ---

Mind to each man, truth remains. Individuation governed by psychc impact. All becomes.
