Because evolution happens in discrete steps, speciation happens at particular moments in history. If you wanted the "correct" method for categorization you would pick the cause(s) of the speciation events. But this often times not possible because we only know traces of the history of evolution.
Crossbreeding is a poor choice for categorization because it only captures one chapter of the story. Its a solution used by genes to carve out their niche against other genes, but its not the only solution.
A thought is the event that retrieves a piece of knowledge, you can't have one without the other.
A simpler model to how the thoughts pop in your head is based on trauma. Let's call every past experience a trauma, be it good or bad doesn't matter, the intensity matters instead. The ones that pop before the others are the ones that originated from a stronger trauma. You then couple this with a form of down regulation where if you have thought something recently your brain might present the second association which was generated by a trauma less intense than the first one and so on. You will see though that it is... (read more)
For example, people report that hallucinated voices say things, and they don’t have introspective access to where those words came from. But with self-generated inner speech, you also don’t have introspective access to where those words came from!!
Actually most times you do have introspective access of where your knowledge comes from. The brain is quite zealous about where it acquires a particular piece of knowledge, because memory is fundamentally based on associations, and associations are much stronger if based on emotions. Anything that you remember, if you think about it there is an emotion tied to it (but you have to traverse the full trace of the memory, up to the last node,... (read more)
The sensory inputs and the body are much more integral than one would think. Biology is more of a cooperation between intelligent subsystems. Moreover the quantum properties that are harnessed by biology are not at all clear. There might be fundamental ways in which reality works that enable DNA to do what it does thanks to reliable interactions between particles like photons and electrons and maybe other excitations of quantum fields. Does this mean that the brain is not a machine? Well its a machine just like society is a machine, the curse of semantics. Does it run an algorithm? Well nobody wrote it. It just so happens that every complex form of matter is subject to a number of constraints proportional to its level of complexity. And its those constraints that dictate its behavior. You can say that such "algorithm" is sculpted by the constraints of the system, its just a byproduct. So there isn't a "well defined entity" that its running a "well defined process".
Velcro has clear downsides, it can't handle dirt on what is usually the dirtiest place on your body, and nobody wants loose shoes.
Microwave requires people to follow the programs to a T or know enough about the tools and the foods they eat and the portions in order to avoid over/under heating (in other words it requires too much precision). Many people cook by taste and MW doesn't allow you to do that. The utensils for MW is likely the last of your problems, you can use ceramic, clay, pyroglass all quite common. In the past you didn't have pre set programs, and frankly even today they aren't that useful. The safety... (read more)
Bioresonance. Current (public) hardware and software can get you to 1mm resolution, advancements could probably get you to cell size. You don't exactly get molecular resolution, but exchange of energy (electrons, photons in bulk and their spin), which is what I mean by cause and effect. The technology is non invasive and is not damaging (like xrays) so you can collect lots of data and then train a NN on it. The output of the NN still needs labeling though, but labeling the outputs is a much smaller problem. Its "probably" been done before because the technology is old but not really popular in US as it is in Russia (and east Europe), but still not public because not all science is open.
If you want to scan the whole brain you don't want contrasting agents, you just scan the biofield, which gives you accuracy down to photons. There is a lot of noise in the biofield, but you can reduce it by focusing on fewer parts at a time. You get molecular fingerprints, which would be unlabeled, and the big effort is effectively labeling which is which. Nonetheless, if your goal is just WBE you don't need to know "what each part is", but just the cause and effect of a sequence of variables. This has already been done...but I digress.
There are some problems with UFOs:
- History interpretation is not clear cut. There is a lot of things that can be explained with hallucinogenics, like mushrooms being a staple in the communion of early days christianity.
- Rare earth theory keeps adding more and more constraints. There is a lot that we don't know about the cosmos and quite frequently previous assumptions about astrophysics are invalidated by new observations
- UFOs are one of the favorite psyops to hide the existence of global mind control tech and advanced VR tech
- The hidden bias: we went from anthropocentric to heliocentric, but maybe the truth is in the middle. Meaning that there might be quantum properties exploited by biology that
