Would knowing how the brain works lead to madness?

[Why?]

If you knew how and why the brain did the things it did, wouldn't you psychoanalyze yourself to death? How could you function knowing how your actions are pre-determined?

Have you tried it?

You post some of the strangest, weirdest, oddest, most non-sensical topics of anyone that I've ever known.

Is there something wrong with you? How could you possibly be "normal"?

LMAO I have thought the exact thing myself!

But what is "normal" Baron?

It could lead to a cure for madness.

There is no guarantee that the brain works in a "pre-determined" way. You know how dice work, but their output is unpredictable.

It could lead to a cure for madness.

And it could lead to realizing that humans are really fucked, so shooting them is the best thing we could do for the Earth and the other animals.

But, with dice, you know all the possible combinations. Obviously, the mind has a lot more combinations than a pair of dice. But, if you knew in general terms what made you decide to do things, wouldn't that lead to an endless loop of self-analysis that would drive you nuts?

Is that why your here, to get help?

 

[Why?]

Actually, I am here to speak with intelligent individuals - unlike yourself.

 

[cosmictraveler]

Careful, you'll get yourself into a hissy fit! Then what would YOU do?

 

[Why?]

I will speak to others on this site, who are clearly more intelligent than you are.

Are you saying ignorance is bliss?

 

[Why?]

Yes.

 

[spidergoat]

God must be really depressed, then.

 

[Why?]

But you assume God thinks like man. God doesn't think like man.

 

[(Q)]

But you assume God thinks like man. God doesn't think like man.

And you are assuming he doesn't.

 

[Why?]

Yes, I am assuming God doesn't have a tiny brain like ours. Wow, that's a shocker.

 

[(Q)]

But, that's all it is, exactly, an assumption. Thanks. That's NOT a shocker.

 

[Why?]

Well, how could an omnipotent being think like man? Man is limited, God is not. That's not an assumption.

Yes, that IS an assumption. Your personal assumption.
