"There is no channel through which some substance or information travels _
untouched_ into your brain."

-disagree, sound travels though us? therefore is directly touching our brain.

of course it may easier to work with what we can quantify, as opposed to what we can't. but i'm an artist not a scientist...

although i like science, but I like science fiction more...

"evolutionary psychology accounts for why living organisms retain behaviors over generations. your brain is hardwired to think in a certain way. the structures for understanding language are present in the brain before you have heard a single word. similarly for structures involving the perception of sound, and vision. do you suppose that a three dimensional perception of the world is the only valid representation? its not, thats just how your brain was hardwired. its also (largely) inescapable. the organization of the brain is mostly inherited, not self assembled. the self assembly is just a thin layer of icing on a very large cake. most people like to think otherwise because it gives them a sense of self importance."

this is interesting! the future of unquantifiable thoughts may not be so lonely.
