or "Grab Onto Something, It's Happening Again!"
It is often said that just before a person dies, his whole life flashes in front of his face.
I don't know if that's true. I haven't reached the necessary requirement yet; you know, the "being at death's door" part.
At least I don't think I have, but one never knows...
What I do know is that the mind is a marvelous and mysterious thing. I view the mind and the brain as essentially the same thing, at the same time realizing that "mind" is probably the software, the programming, while the brain is the computer the mind inhabits. I think. Or maybe the "mind" is the data resulting from the brain functioning with built-in software.
Anyway, who could ever really explain how it works? Oh, they can tell you which region of the brain is responsible for what function, more or less. They also have theories about electric currents, chemical messengers, and synapses, and folds in the grey matter.
But, come on, if they really knew how the brain worked they would build one. A big one. They would program it with all the data from all the databanks of the world, and set that brain the task of conquering the whole world. Of course, just like atomic power, the "recipe" would leak out to many nations and there would be fear of a "brain war."
"Disadvantaged" or "Third World Countries" would be excluded from the "big brain" membership, and there would be an ongoing effort to keep them from obtaining the technology. The powerful nations of the world would bicker among themselves about what should or should not be allowed in reference to that "big brain" technology. Maybe they would sign some kind of accord to keep the technology, and any creation resulting from it, out of outer space.
After all, that's a frightening possibility: "Big brains" orbiting earth, guiding satellites, performing who knows what mission. And whoever first learns how to integrate the thing into a deep space exploration vehicle would definitely put all the rest of the world at a great disadvantage.
Yes, man can build computers, even supercomputers, and even AI, artificial intelligence, which works to only a limited degree. His abilities truly pale into insignificance when viewed alongside whatever process is responsible for the design and creation of this thing, this puny human brain.
The only possible way for man to build one of his own, with the same capabilities or greater, would be not to build one, but to grow one. The reason is that the "big brain" would be a living thing, and there is a fundamental law that states that "life only comes from pre-existing life." If man ever learns to actually create life from inert matter,... I'm unable to finish that sentence, for the consequences are unimaginable, and not in a good way!
I'm sure some semi-mad scientist in some secret lab at some closely guarded site is hard at work on the "big brain" problem, as well as the "life from ocean water" theory, at this very moment. Hmmm, I wonder what ever happened to Einstein's brain!
Maybe the villagers should grab their torches and pitchforks and locate this hidden lab, or labs, and imprison "Dr. Frankenstein" once and for all.
On the other hand, I'm sure if they are discovered they will be very "glib" and convince us all that this fearsome technology will be used for the good of mankind, and never for war. (I wonder if the Japanese government and people would agree with that statement.) And then there will be proliferation, inevitably.
The last time, we built fallout shelters (which would have been useless), but what will we build this time in an attempt to keep ourselves and our families safe? Perhaps tin foil on the windows, and tinfoil hats?
Okay, okay, now I think I'm beginning to see my life flashing before my eyes. In full color, at high speed. I've got to grab onto something to keep from being sucked into...
