a complex area of how the conscious neural impulses react in the frontal neural cortex area to different social genres . To think the frontal neutral cortex has embedded standards which reflect expected outcomes which can assimilate predictive behaviour patterns is exactly where AI robotics is headed. I like the funky glasses.

This is interesting and makes me curious about self and other, and our ability to feel for other when some groups of others are actually viewed as self meanwhile another group of people are not identified as self but register as other. On second thought, people have deep and profound feelings for animals, and surely a brain selective enough to identify specific groups as self (leaving the rest as other), would not confuse a tiger or a puppy or a fish to be similar.

Her glasses are so cool. They look great on her too.

At the end there, the ‘hard problem’ of consciousness has nothing to do with the complexity of human brains. That would all still be classified as ‘easy’. The hard problem is that any of it ‘shows up’, rather than simply happening ‘in the dark’ as we might suppose for any other mechanistic system.

I could not take her seriously with those clown glasses on.

[@rebecca8866]

why should she wear the same old glasses everyone else wears? she probably has multiple pairs anyways. this pair looks cool af to me. I've never seen anything like them before. they look like art to me. it's okay if you don't feel the same way as me regarding her glasses, but to not take her seriously just because of her appearance is ridiculous. plus, what if she is wearing these glasses to troll all of us? she could totally be aware of how strange they look and this is her way of having fun. lol ya never know kzbin.info/www/bejne/moLaZapvjMyLmbM
