If you’re unfamiliar with Plato’s Allegory Of The Cave, you should familiarize yourself.
This shower thought is older than showers!
Plato’s allegory of the cave is not about what this shower thought it about.
…
Yes it absolutely is.
I am sorry you are failing to connect these painfully adjacent dots.
yeah I mean I could see not knowing platos cave but boltzman brains are mentioned pretty often in various media including sprinkled regularly in youtube videos. Im surprised someone could avoid it.
Why? It is just superstitious nonsense from 2500 years ago.
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
Showing your age now!
I’ve come to accept I’m old.
It actually is not pitch black. And I recall some part of the brain (some gland) needs this light to set our daily cycle.
Don’t ruin my Zork reference, man.
These fuckin people
The audacity!
No no, not hearing, seeing.
Can’t wait until someone points out I should use a privacy fork.
Your eyes are a part of your brain.
So the only part of your brain that does receive light, is located outside of this dark room. Inside the dark room, there is nothing that senses light or darkness.Your eyes are a part of your brain
nope
Your eyes are a part of your brain.
Doesn’t seem to match with my understanding. Got any references for that?
I think I worded it badly and mixed up things with the visual system and the central nervous system.
So I guess you could say that I was technically wrong and OP was technically right…
Damn! Still our brains don’t register any darkness, except through the optic nerve… and screw you guys! I’m going home! ;)
And tubes. One of the tubes delivers glucose and caffeine.
Some light does penetrate the skull. So not completely dark. Also the blood brain barrier is semi permeable, so not completely sealed.
Some light penetrates the skull. Geez, I hadn’t thought of this.
The eye sockets do not block the light with bone.
Haha, I understood how as soon as I read the comment, I just hadn’t considered it up until that point.
Can someone without eyes get brain sunburn?
Based on some people behavior, I would say yes, even with eyes.
When you get headaches is cuz the AI is flashing light into your brain to examine how your brain is doing in the simulation
I do wonder if the electrical impulses give off any light
no they don’t
To explain why, the electrical signals is not like how we know electricity like when you see lightning. It’s salt/ion based movements in and out of cells. A lot more boring
So kind of like a battery?
exactly like a battery.
also, thinking skills decline with age for the same reason that batteries lose maximum capacity over time.
A human brain conceived Ohms Law with no realization of it itself was functioning.
The brain also named itself (along with everything else)
It’s a wave of ion movement.
Even if how would the brain detect them?
That’s a separate issue. A blind person could still sit in a well lit room.
Prove it
How do I know he’s not squatting a millimeter over the chair?
Everyone thinks they’re talking about the human skull and nervous system but if someone is sitting in ther bedroom on a PC it’s really not all that different from being a brain in a jar, it’s just a different interface and the brain can leave.
It doesn’t seem to mind
I think I have mice in the walls chewing on the wires.
Illuminating
What is in your blood impacts you.
It deserve to see the outside world for a bit, get it some fresh air!
