Yes and? What you said before is that the electrical impulses in our brain have information encoded on them. Now you are claiming they don't but the information is interpreted. Can't have it both ways Ralphie. So if the impulses are interpreted, how are they about something prior to the interpretation? And how do two different people interpret things the same (such as a math problem) when their neural circuitry is not the same?
I'm saying that without the brain there are no impulses. If one part of the brain sends some out and these are recieved by another part, this allows them to work in harmony and for me to function. If you cut the neural pathways between both sides of the brain to limit the damage caused by a stroke then you would experience unusual problems. i.e. If you covered the left eye, looked at an object and noticed its color then you would not be able to say that color outloud until you looked at it with your left eye because the left side is the side of the brain that manages linguistics.
The impulses are code created by the brain for the brain. The basic computer equivilent would be 1s and 0s.
I know this because I briefly took psychology as a subject for open university. I am sorry if it is arrogant of me to use this very basic knowledge you could of easily looked up.
Are we done now?
Oh for fuck sake, you condemned him? Really? You let certain people who will remain nameless get away with murder and you condemn this guy?
