Mathematical Neuroscience and The Spirit

[oanghelidi]

You are a "scientist" who has created neuronal models that have eluded the best minds in neuroscience.

I work very hard, I ask the right questions, I get different results.

You then ran computer simulations on computers more powerful that are currently possible, all without the financial support of a university or corporate lab.

I ran a computer simulation on Boinc the distributed computing architecture. SETI is also working on Boinc. I used over 14,000 computers of all models and types from over 7000 volunteers. I am not sure that I need funds to accomplish anything. Basic research has little to do with funding; it is all about theoretical models.

You then conclude that because you were unable to create consciences, which you are unable to define in the first place, that it is somehow separate from the brain.

Yes, that is correct.

So, for the sake of argument, let's say all of this is true and you have made the scientific breakthrough of the century and will soon be getting the Nobel prize.

Not so sure that I care about any prize. The Fields prize might be more appropriate but in the end that is irrelevant.

Why in the fuck would you be on some Podunk little atheist message board spouting about it? Aren't there slightly more important places you should be talking about this?

I am merely attempting to determine the social impact of my findings on the group that is more opposed to that: the atheists.
