  • You might be also interested in watching the documentaries "Is Seeing Believing", which focuses on illusions, and "The Secret You", which focuses on consciousness, both produced by Horizon. We are "just" bioelectrical systems, and everyone's perception is quirky. We all routinely hallucinate while paralysed at night. Then we continue to maintain many false beliefs after we wake up. So brain "dysfunction" seems to be a quantitative, not a qualitative thing.

  • @clray123 Thank you for the information.

  • @JonahTorn Right. Reasonable thinking is an optional, not essential feature of the brain. Have you noticed how we all suspend reason while we're sleeping? Our behaviors and mode of reasoning within dream often appear ridiculous after waking up. While dreaming our critical faculties seem to be either completely switched off or at the very least severely impaired - but of course we neither mind nor realize that altered state while it lasts.

  • Simply excellent stuff, man. Really well done.
