ONCE AGAIN, I am in this picture and I don't like it.

we've always used current technology as an analogy for the brain/mind, and it's never been very good, so that's a decent assumption to make

A long time ago I read a thing about how it takes takes 𝑥 milliseconds for a nerve signal to get from the tip of your nose to your brain, but 𝑦 milliseconds to get from your finger to your brain (where 𝑦 > 𝑥 because of the extra distance).

So why is it that when you touch your nose, you don't feel it at 2 different times? Because your brain lags and waits for all the signals to come in before creating a model of the body.

I wish I could find that piece again...

@stereomike111 the amazing thing is, how uncritically many people accept the idea that the brain is like a von Neumann architecture computer. What reason is there to think that? Not much, that I can see.

@frothywalrus that's it! Thanks so much!
