AI Thread Summary
The discussion on the hyperstructure of the brain explores the idea that there may be a higher level of organization within the brain that connects individuals and extends beyond physical boundaries. This concept builds on historical perspectives of brain function, which have evolved from mechanical analogies like levers and pulleys to modern theories involving complex networks and consciousness fields. While the hyperstructure concept is intriguing and suggests a complex interconnectivity, it also invites skepticism regarding its scientific validity. Participants emphasize the need for critical evaluation of evidence and caution against making unsubstantiated claims. The conversation highlights the importance of continued exploration and research into the complexities of the brain and consciousness, advocating for an open yet discerning approach to these speculative ideas.

"The hyperstructure of the brain"

I found this discussion on the Mkaku.org community. It is very...different and I wanted to know what pf members thought about it. Believe me, its a very interesting idea: http://www.mkaku.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=230

Back in Descartes' day they didn't know much physics, just levers and pulleys on one side and pipes and siphons on the other, so he went along and described thought in the brain in terms of levers and pulleys and pipes and siphons. There are some cool old pictures of his ideas in history of science books.

After Newton they talked about force fields in the brain, after Priestly they talked (and Goethe wrote) about "elective affinities" i.e. valences, later it was electrical signals (well that one panned out) and when telephones came in it was switchboards. Then computers. See a pattern? whatever is the newest, neatest idea in that king of material science, physics, or in mechanistic techmnology, that is what people will be telling you is going on in your brain when you think. Black holes, anyone?
 


The concept of the hyperstructure of the brain is certainly an intriguing one. It suggests that there may be a higher level of organization within the brain, beyond what we currently understand. This idea is not entirely new, as there have been theories about a "global workspace" or "consciousness field" in the brain.

However, the discussion in the forum linked above takes this concept to a whole new level, proposing that the hyperstructure of the brain is a complex network of information that connects all individuals and even extends beyond our physical bodies. While this idea may seem far-fetched, it is important to keep an open mind and explore all possibilities when it comes to understanding the brain.

At the same time, it is also important to approach these ideas with a critical eye and evaluate the evidence and scientific basis for such claims. It is one thing to speculate and theorize, but it is another to make bold claims without solid evidence. As the discussion in the forum shows, there are varying opinions and perspectives on this topic, and it is up to each individual to decide what they believe based on the available information.

In my opinion, the hyperstructure of the brain is a fascinating concept that warrants further exploration and research. It may hold the key to understanding the complexities of the human brain and consciousness. However, it is important to approach this topic with a healthy dose of skepticism and continue to question and investigate until there is concrete evidence to support these ideas.
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
