The Answer part 2: neurocomputer

So information from our senses do not reach our consciousness right away. It is clear to me that this applies to our actions too. We do not consciously take any action until the action is already done. We simply become aware of our action later.

What does this all mean? This shows that our brain is just a machine, a computer. Like any computer, it runs programs. These programs process information and calculate the best actions to take.

So does this mean that we have any free will? It makes it seem like we don't. I will talk about free will in a later post.

When I  said that we simply become aware of any action we take later, I'm including thinking towards reaching the decision on what action to take. I'm convinced that the thinking process itself is just the programs calculating the best course of action.

I'm not saying that a computer is an analog of the brain, I am saying that the brain really is a computer. In fact, this is a big hint into  my "Theory of everything".

#Consciousness

The Answer part 1: Precognition.

I'm sure many of you have experienced something similar  to this:

I was walking along a road not long ago when suddenly I got the "feelling" that something big was about to happen.

I felt that a motorcycle was going to fall down onto the road, slide, making that familiar noise and crash into a ditch beside the road to my left.

Then, after what seemed like 2 or 3 seconds later, I heard a noise to my left, I turned my  head, and I saw that very motorcycle crashing exactly as I "felt" earlier.

The rider was fine.

So am I psychic? Do I have the power of precognitionz? Of course not.

There's only one explanation for this. You see, everything that you are aware of, has already  happened! In fact, everything happened 2 to 3 seconds ago.

Under normal circumstances information picked up by a senses do not go straight to our consciousness. Instead information from our senses is diverted to what I called the "filter". In the filter, the information is processed before   finally sent to the consciousness.

However, if the information is so "dramatic", it bypasses the filter and goes straight to the consciousness.   This creates that "feeling" I mentioned, but the same information still goes through the filter the normal way. Hence the delay.

So as you're reading this, your eyes picked up the words from the screen 2 to 3 seconds ago, they were then processed by the filter , and only now do they reach your consciousness.
I am convinced that this "delayed consciousness" has a major implications on the working of the mind and beyond.

So this is my starting point. But we are still a long way from the hard of my "Theory of everything". It will get crazy! I promise..

The Answer part 0: I want answers.

It's time to try to answer the biggest questions before us. Do we have freewill? What is consciousness? What are the Laws of Nature? What about Mathematics? Why is there something rather than nothing?

Yes these are some of the biggest questions that the most brilliant thinkers have tried to answer. So any ideas I might have may well be nothing other than just my rambling. But so what?

Before I die I must put these ideas down in writing. At the very least, for my own self satisfaction. Who knows, maybe this will spark something interesting.
