'Brains are designed to work in a narrow corridor of environmental states and any shift away from it is likely causing a malfunction.'
This runs completely contrary to everything we know about the structure and function of the brain. The brain's function is in no way similar to that of a motor engine.
- lostmsu 5y agoMaybe everything you think you know (btw, what is it do you think you know exactly that supports your claim?). I know when temperature goes up 1C the brain gets sluggish. I know food is filtered before going into blood, and is further filtered by blood-brain barrier to reduce chances of contamination thus breaking its delicate function. Also, it does not matter if the brain function is similar to a motor, the point applies to any complex system.
- neuro_image2 5y agoYour comments are unusually poorly informed and mean spirited for HN. Here is a course on neuroscience to get you started. Take a look and get back when you may have some idea of what you're commenting on. https://www.coursera.org/learn/medical-neuroscience#syllabus https://www.coursera.org/learn/medical-neuroscience#syllabus
- lostmsu 5y agoI take mean spirited any time over harmful, which I believe your comments are. If you see a problem with my statements, point to it. If we were discussing programming where my main expertise lies, I would not be directing people to read a "C++ for beginners" book, but pointed to a specific statement in one. What exactly do you expect me to find in that course that would contradict my comments?
