Thread: Brains.

Yes, I would think so. Brains are like supercomputers, they have limits.

Yes, it's possible. Even if I were somehow able to determine that it was impossible, I could be wrong, since the brain is fallable.

As language separates man from other animals, it also separates man from man. Linguistic abiity has to have a physiological foundation in order to psychologically manipulate language through linguistic principles. Most people use language by rote, and cannot see basic contradictions. Common questions are never really answered for them, they simply repeat one thing one moment and another thing another.

Another component is exercise. One can exercise the mind to be more competent.

The human mind is the last to evolve in history, and it takes the longest to mature.

If you want examples of the answer to your question, see some of my work. It took me ten years to understand and solve the Delian Problem--the anwer only involved understanding a basic principle which man repeats, but does not practice.

More likely there are better questions we're not capable of asking.

It's not more likely, it's beyond a doubt, true. If we can ask as question, we can answer it.
If you think about it, this must be true. The only reason we couldn't answer a question is if our minds are incapable of comprehending such an issue which was raised.
But since the question was asked, we must be able to comprehend it, and thus answer it, eventually.

Phil touched on what I was gonna say, except I was gonna say it better. I think that there would be many cases in which someone could know the answer, or could visualize the answer, but is unable to convey that answer using the limited vocabulary we have, even in order to fully understand what he as figured out. Like, I pretty much know everything, because I am so smrt, but I can't explain it to you guys because of the limitations of language.

Damn it, this thread title is so misleading! I thought it would be all about zombies!

I know huh, it's so frustrating!
Technically though, our brains are capable of amazing calculation, most people just can't get their brain to do it. Only a very limited number of people can do it.
And I bet even some of them aren't using their full ability.

One day, Heavy, one day....

The only way to kill a zombie is with a steak through the heart.

I like my steaks rare, but a zombie rarely?

If by 'zombie' you mean middle-aged man, then yes.

Really? I heard that their silver allergy was their biggest weakness.

Or if by zombie he means zombie and chest he means head and by steak he means stake and by stake he means bullet.

and by bullet a Japanees train. . . .

Actually, by "zombie" I meant "Japanese train".... pardon me "Japanees train".
By "chest" I meant "zombie".
By "steak" I meant "head".
And by "the" I meant "splunge".

I think you're exactly right. Language can not express and convey certain things. When we speak, a portion of what we actually mean is lost.

The human brain is not the limiting factor anymore, it's how those human brains network that matters.
