>>24Right, without looking at Mentishit's shit, anybody can go on and on about the notion of finding patterns in perceptions, organizing stimulus into groups, reinforcing commonalities, tying feedback to new patterns, ideas about how mental abstraction might work, etc etc etc, all as just random armchair conversation about thought. None of it implies that any work is being done, that any discoveries are being made, or that the person has any clue about the current state of the art. It's just casual musings.
