100%.
I mean, why should there be anything, really? And if we are to take it
as given that there is, then why is there what is, rather than
something different?
But then there is a different level on which things are beyond my
comprehension.
My co-worker solves problems differently than I do, and I am utterly
unable to understand how his mind works.

i think it's safe to conclude that how to type a word is not beyond
your comprehension.
now granted, there may be aspects of typing a word that are well
beyond your comprension, such as the neural/mechanical dynamics
involved, but there is a percentage of the act of typing a word that
is definitely NOT beyond your comprehension.
so 100% would not be accurate.

You made a distinction between "knowing about" and comprehension, and
now you're conflating the two.
I "know about" typing a word, but I don't comprehend it in the least.
I don't have the faintest idea what makes me able to do it and how my
brain is different from someone with Down's Syndrome, for instance.

Why are you convinced that it is? Well, whatever; some people use the
words "brain" and "mind" interchangably. Maybe they're correct. It's

no. but the two do intersect/overlap to some degree/percentage.
> I "know about" typing a word, but I don't comprehend it in the least.
yes you do.
you have a word in your mind.
you want to type it onto the screen.
you comprehend how to do so enough to actually make it happen.
that certainly qualifies as "comprehending it in the least", at the
very least.
> I don't have the faintest idea what makes me able to do it
yes you do, hence all those typed words of yours above.

well, people with Down's Syndrome know how to type words too, don't
they?
i have no idea since i've never inquired about that, but i'm pretty
sure that such people comprehend enough about typing words to be able
to do so.
anyway, if so, that's something that you can certainly comprehend as a
similarity rather than a difference you have with someone who has
Downs Syndrome.
how your brain differs from theirs is another issue altogether.

i wasn't conflating the two, they simply overlap.

cow-orker?
anyway...
it's not all that mysterious really, it's just non-brainwashed:
IF 2 + 2 = 5
AND 3 + 3 = 2 + 2
AND 3 > 2
THEN 2 + 2 = 4 is...
1] True
2] False
3] Unable to Determine
4] Logical Cognitive Dissonance/y
the logical answer is #2.
(with a strong #4 kicker, to boot)
because there are no false premises stated above (due to the
inexorable nature of the relationships between odd and even numbers)

Perhaps, but that's not my point. My point is that different people
may be doing similar things but have quite different brain activity
going on inside. And I don't understand my computer much better than
my brain.

I've read about research that shows people with certain abnormalities
use different areas of their brain to perform tasks involving memory,
for instance. I think it is quite possible for differences in how the
brain works to exceed apparent differences in functioning.

Yep, I gotta agree with you, the effects of the pre-causal lobe can be

One never knows, do one.
Personally I think we are all quite different, and our similarities
are on the gross level alone. People go on about IQ but never mention
attention; a fully realized moron paying attention might do smarter
things than a munged-up geenyus stroking hair onto palms innit.
Really the most collosum differences seem to have little to do with
the function of the junction. It looks like a geenyus, it walks like
a geenyus, it must be a geenyus, QED; that's just retarded and the
whole deal is a circle-jerk.
Yesterday I was at HomeDepot's plumbing department, looking for a
1-1/4" pipe plug. There were two men there digging around looking for
something, and a young girl. She was maybe 13, and maybe autistic or
retarded. She had a helium balloon tied to her left wrist. I could
see where the string had somehow tightened and was nearly cutting off
the circulation to her hand. It was her voice that clued me in that
she was not quite average, it was clearly difficult for her to form
words as she asked dad to "take it off". And her voice was very very
strange, it seemed not to come from her lips but to emanate from
around her. Meanwhile dad was scrabbling through bins like some kind
of nutter owned by a need to repair a toilet, and daughter was calmly
checking things out, looking at parts, seeing what fit together,
learning things. Her face had the most amazingly peaceful expression.
She wasn't the least bit odd looking as she might've been if she'd had
Downs or something. So I look at the dad and I look at the daughter
and I think gee, who'se the dummy here?
And more important, when you look at brain and mind, how can you know
whether brain mechanics generates mind, or the workings of the mind
cause bits of physical stuff to cohere and form a brain?

i certainly comprehended that much, but i was making a different

no doubt.
still, you must admit that you comprehend how to type words to the
extent that you are able to do same, therefore admitting that there
are indeed things which are not 100% beyond your comprehension.
> And I don't understand my computer much better than
> my brain.
but you do understand that your computer must be powered up to be able
to type words on its screen.
you also understand that, at least most of the time, when you press on
the letter A on your keyboard, the letter A will be typed onto the
screen.
that's something you fully comprehend.

I believe once upon a time there was a restaurant chain called
Friendly Restaurants, but eventually they changed the name to
Friendly's, because that's what everyone called it.

I always thought it was "Down's" in honor of the doctor who identified

wiki is widely recognized as a nonsource.
