[QUOTE="GGWP, post: 38821, member: 93"] I am referring to dendrites having [URL='https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-81421-2']fractal geometry[/URL], drawing a parallel to the fractal transmitters used in electronic devices. It's speculative, this was just kind of a ramble lol. I've been reading lots of metaphysical/religious texts and just thinking about ancient religion (especially Hinduism) and furthermore about the ventures in the 80s with regards to ESP and how it never really went anywhere but there was quasi-confirmation (could certainly be misdirection). Lots of spitballing really; so many religions talk of a 'divine spark' that we lost or was somehow suppressed, imo it would be to do with our neurons being fractal transmitter-receivers allowing us to interface with some kind of alternative consciousness, perhaps something went awry (I want to say something related to the pineal/claustrum but I would not know where to peg it!). It is pure skepticism, I never intended for it to be a serious conjecture, it was more to capture my discontent toward people who are all too ready to accept simple conclusions in an age where misdirection is common, and that scientific language (and the general structure of accepted diction) can create a smokescreen by preventing people being able to describe things in adequate granularity. I don't think I will ever find 'an answer' before artificial intelligence centralizes consensus, but it is fun to think about such things. I think your point about Nietzche is a good point.
