Now isn't that clever? Actually I don't myself see anything simplistic about the box concept of the brain
Our nervous system actually IS interconnected layers of neurons with different inputs/outputs.
The brain is no different than a spleen, we can study it and learn about it in much the same way. But . . .
There is a conflict when it comes to the brain. In fact we truly must step into the looking glass.
You see, the spleen doesn't study spleens. The brain studies the spleen, and the brain.
The brain harbors ego, self perception, philosophies passed down through the centuries.
Spleens don't care for philosophy. Whatever approach we use to study the brain will be
tainted by the genetically preconceived notions of its own importance. It is the residence of ego.
