God, is it over — TheMadFool

Im sorry... Another compliment! Your question popped up while reading this. Was it God? Anyhow, best question so far! :ok:

:ok: If that's what floats your boat, by all means, be my guest. — TheMadFool

My boat is word filled
Playful and light
My hunger stilled
With words of joy and fright

Or it understands, but you're not conscious of it. You think the toaster knows the numbers on its dial? — Bylaw

I still have to get used to the vocabulary. Our puppy dog is very intelligent though. She knows not to bite my face (she's licking it right now!). My hands are not safe though. She can't read a clock too (neither?).

Good luck! — TheMadFool

Thanks!

There is some kind of relationship between the brain, mind and consciousness. — RussellA

The brain is the place where the mind, consciousness, emerge. The brain is a usefool tool. Matter only for outside observers. But with soyl content for the one interacting with it. Creativity and art and ideas origin there.

So, are you, are you in the middle of your brain — TheMadFool

No. I'm between my brain and the physical brain. I am my body. I...AM...IN...BETWEEN. I let the the two (inner world and outer world) play and play along. A part of me is autonomous, luckily. The brain radiates into me (long dendrites) and the physical world has a grip too. Luckily. So who thinks? Not I!

I wasn't fishing for compliments. — TheMadFool

I know. But still! Great words! Truly. Ohoh, another compliment... :smile:

I get to know you better each day. By words only!

Therein lies the rub. — TheMadFool

In the body there is a lot to rub. What if I say that I am my body and I am in the middle of brain and physical world? The brain thinks for me. I dont think at all...

It's possible that what you're really saying is anything to do with the human mind is art; after all, everything we think/speak/do provides a glimpse of our consciousness. If so, what's unrelated to consciousness is not art. How do you explain the warm, fuzzy feelings one gets when watching a sunset, the sky ablaze yellow, red, orange? A sunset isn't a human artefact ergo, not linked to consciousness at all and yet we're moved by it as much as we would be looking at the Mona Lisa. — TheMadFool

I have to say that once in a while you say sensible things! :ok:

I think those are just words. Not sure they really connect to anything except as a figure of speech. You could also say, and with no greater meaning, that my tastes are elements of my psychological essence - of my personal identity. What does this contribute? — Tom Storm

Exactly! An art showing our relation to Nature and the gods (no relation at all, I hope, but the simple fact of acknowledging their being and presence), how can information interpret this? Or dissipative systems? Or entropy evolving on a rotating Earth, between heat and cold, day and night? The daytime breaths out. The nighttime inhales. How do you, @Pop, interpret Aboriginal art or the Hopi art? I like your paintings and understand them. But they reflect your view. It can't embrace all art. Well, it can, but then you destroy it.

If I make a hyperreal painting of a vase with two bright flowers, three grass green leaves, one bud, black background and surreal lightning the what makes it different from a photograph?

Now it's going somewhere! There are 10exp10exp40 possible pathways for neural flows of peak potentials. Coordinated concerts, that is. We have potentially virtually infinite memory capacity!
