I died and was brought back to life. Still have memories. Did I just debunk the paper?
Death is irreversible by definition, so you did not die.

#52So a strong enough electric field could disrupt our memories? I’m skeptical…
... Why? A strong enough electrical field can disrupt lots of stuff.

#53This may be too meta for this forum, but I would like to point out that the brain theory as a whole has become so incomprehensibly complex that I am beginning to think that the brain has little to do with intention and memory storage . Point in fact: as we are now hundreds of years into medical research and we still can't figure out how the brain stores memory. Or what physical structure a memory even is. And I am su…
There's a pretty solid case for the brain being responsible just because breaking it in various ways also breaks memory-storing in various ways.

There’s no upward development of life. We think we’re super clever and advanced for building cars and lightbulbs and such, but there’s nothing beyond us saying that’s good or praiseworthy. Looking at our impact on biodiversity, the atmosphere, and the oceans, and throw in a huge dose of micro plastics and rogue hormones in the water supply and we don’t look so clever. Evolution improves fitness for reproduction, there’s not a handy chart or whatever that shows markers for more or less evolved.

Point in fact: we have learned more about brain physiology in the past 30 years than all of history before that. Will our knowledge keep growing or plateau? I don't know, but it is way to early to state that research is at a dead end.
> Who is driving the upward development of life ...
This is begging the question. It presumes a both a who and an intention.
Also, "upward" is an odd take -- spiders / sharks / humans are all equally evolved in that they can trace their lineage to a common ancestor and have been evolving all that time. It seems upward only if one is thinking like that cliched monkey -> caveman -> human illustration.
> ... the physical universe tends toward chaos
It tends toward increasing entropy, not chaos. For sure, there are local pockets of organization, but they are all temporary.

Re: Electric fields, not individual neurons, may hold information in memory: study
#57Aaaand the ultimate question: if electric fields are controlling the neurons, what (or who?) contols the electric fields?
Its all a big ploy by James Clerk Maxwell. I knew it!

#58There was a story I heard about the autistic guy who volunteered for transcranial magnetic stimulation. Those have been known to temporarily shift someone autistic into a consciousness state that is more neurotypical. In his case (and it is the only documented case), it was permanent. He wrote a book about it. His marriage ended because of it (he had been a reliable emotional support for his wife while autistic), but…
This is scary if true, because it opens up all kinds of doors for external EM fields modifying human cognition doesn’t it?

Maybe those folks worried about 5G were on to something...
