no...because if it was, artificial intelligence (which would have to be defined in terms of sentience on a human level) would already exist.....

but, the brain....well, thatz one thing.....

however, many like to differentiate between the mind and the body; ergo, as a dualist (of sorts) i don't necessarily proclaim the brain as the mind....niether do a lot of scientists.....but it does seem that the mind is connected to the body via the brain.....

whatz interesting is that the brain does seemingly go on a code of sorts......the physical states of it....as for the mental states, thatz a whole different ball-game....they actually don't know what the mind is or how it works....how you can have one thought and then BAM! you're totally thinking, or remembering, or imaging something else.....especially in terms of memory....

say you're watching a movie you've never seen before, and then BAM! you're thinking about that time you were having sex in the backseat on a friday night with your girlfriend, and you had a fight....you had a lot of fights, like that time you were at her house for thanksgiving.....you had a big fight because you didn't like her mashpotatos.....she got all pissy....she always got pissy....thatz why you dumped her.....your mom makes good mashpotato's though.....hmm, you haven't spoken to your mother in two weeks, maybe you should call her tomorrow....

all this, this train of thought, memory, etc, all the while you're still watching the movie and comprehending it, also comprehending that you need to ash your cigarette....all this multi-tasking and thought sequence is far more complicated than binary-code.....

but what was it that made that thought sequence go into overdrive? you've never seen the movie before, so itz not like you watched it with that girl you dated, the actress looks nothing like the girl you dated, the story is nothing like your thought sequence, etc. etc. etc.....there's no connection between that movie and your thoughts.....(behavorists would say there must be; but behavorism eventually became a failed theory and has since been abandoned, but there's still some behavorists out there, lurking)

but how is it this thought sequence came to be, and how is it that it started with sex, then to mashpotatos, then to you thinking you should call your mother....where's the connections? there seemingly isn't one.....yet, at the same time, it seems there is....itz truly baffling.....

Camus used the term "absurdity" in his essay The Myth of Sysiphus (which justifies suicide....itz an existential essay....vidy, vidy interesting)....but i always liked that term, for he used it as a way to describe thoughts.....they're an absurdity....you're at a coffee shop drinking coffee and for some absurd reason you have a memory of sumtin' that happened to you as a child, sumtin' you have never thought about in forever, possibly even never until that very moment......how is this?

scientists, specifically psychologists, can't really explain this phenomena......but itz one of the reasons why many philosophers and scientists think artificial-intelligence is an impossible dream......

but yeah....the physical states of the brain seemingly do work the same way as a computer, but the mental states.....way, way, WAY more complicated....and still a total fuckin' mystery
