Think about it. The more you learned about your brain the more complex it would become. Also I’m not sure we have enough capacity to reflect on ourselves by processing everything. Think about the massive complexity of every connection. Could someone actually process that or are we limited by ourselves?
I don’t think brains get more complex because of additional information.
Also, what I’m not sure you mean with having “enough capacity to reflect ourselves by processing everything”? Do you mean analyzing another brain or analyzing your own brain? Do you mean processing every time a neuron fires, and which neurons get what kind of stimulus from it? Or do you mean looking at all molecules/atoms/fundamental particles and considering their state and following reaction?
I think we should be capable of understanding the concepts that make our brains work eventually. But I don’t think we have the capacity to monitor everything another brain is doing and understand/interpret it in real time, let alone our own brain. A computer might be able to at some point, when we understand more about neurology.
He who truly knows, knows that he knows not
Or
The more you know, the more you realize you don’t know.
But also, understanding that about yourself doesn’t take more knowledge or intelligence than you currently have. As another user (darkdarkhouse)^ posted, you can understand how the brain works and still not have all the knowledge in the world (hard drive with a map/directory of the hard drive on it).
why do you think learning about your brain cause it to become more complex?
I think the logic here is supposed to be something like:
more knowledge = more complex brain
as you need to “store” the knowledge somewhere.
I don’t say thats how it works but i can somehow see where OP is coming from.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure learning more about myself would make me simpler by definition.
Depends what you mean. If I’m understanding you, then no, you’d be dealing with some kind of metadata recursion problem. On the other hand, on my hard drive I have a file detailing the schematic of the drive.
No. My genius is so vast it boggles my own mind. Sometimes it scares me.
But from a quantum perspective you can’t remember your own brain.
1mm^3 is a couple terabytes in jyst connections rhe largets ai models as of present are nowhere even near that.
