The Scripture Is False And The Biblical God Is Dead.

[Anomalocaris]

i think the use of the word “channel” brings in colloquial meaning that is not necessarily appropriate. i think it is more reasonable to envision several parts of the brain that can all process visual signals and generate decisions and commands. not all of these necessarily communicate with the part of the brain which are responsible for subjective perception. The reason why the brain is wired this way is precisely because it was not designed, but evolved by taking advantage of opportunities afforded by mutation that frequently act by replicating genes and thus make available to the brain excess process mechanisms that is already partially adapted for previously existing functionality but which remain flexible enough to alter these pre-existing adaption to serve other needs.
