I guess a synapse but it's not necessarily one electrocution that causes a thought, it's more like the chain reaction consistently causes you to be present with altering thoughts and focus, persistently. So a synapse, I guess.

>> No.15438185

>>15437863
You are wrong. In theory my hypothesis is falsifiable. You just need to find these "atoms of information" and prove that they completely span the state-space of the universe.

In practice you are right, however. We have not yet found such atoms and speculating about this future in absence of data progresses physics just as much as Hegel promoted progress in physics (or history, for that matter).

Violating my hypothesis would be very bad though. It would mean you can't even describe the universe with an arbitrary set (elements of this set being monads).

Feelings are pre-cognition and operate backwards from normal understanding; meaning your feelings told your brain what to rationalize to invoke your actions. The reason you speak (with words) why you did what you did came after your subconscious already decided what it was going to so.

Hence one's rationale is a lie.

There was no reasoning in this thread. You simply said 'a word', 'no, it's literally a word'. The world is psychotic my friend, evil unintelligent people everywhere, you, one of them. Nothing gets done properly, schizophrenic is a dodgy term used by the rich to suppress thinking away from the economically unfair system that favors the rich. You think like a donkey, you don't know basic philosophy, you don't think for yourself. You don't know what thoughts and thinking is which is shown in this thread. People go on about intelligence quotations as if they're empirical measurements and that's how intelligence is judged, even though the highest IQs still destroy the future for all of us and support unfair systems and don't really have any intelligence. There is no point in telling you this, you're retarded.

I got sick as hell in Thailand, spent a week in bed. Place is dirty, bailed half way through, just spent the time smoking weed resting.

Visited Abu Dhabi and Vienna, resting for a couple days before exploring Copenhagen. The White Mosque in Abu Dhabi is very pentagonal centered (Phi based), and that is very unsual, thats a rare geometric shape in patterned designes. Its usually singled out as a single shape, as it doesnt pattern out evenly (diverges).

Found a misidentified artifact in Vienna, Rape of Paris, but it centered around two penis-havers playing grab ass, so I can only assume it was labeled as Rape of Paris but depicts a seperate, historical, event. I havnt really worked it out yet but mostly have; related to Genetics and mating combinations of human subspecies.

The building block of thought is prehension. You cease an opportunity in mind-body-brain-heart process.

You cannot think in words, symbols or urges, these just complement thought. You only think in images.

>> No.15438579

How you think

1. Preparing to think(for purposes of instructions we start here)
2. Mind produces opportunity for prehension(a seizing of an event giving you power in the brain)
3. Prehension, you power the brain in one tense step
4. Thought is produced.

Try step 2-4 and skip phase 1.

The only reason you can power a brain is not its own engine, but the capacity for body to create tension in that area through prehension of collected will.
