an image is worth 1000 words...
...but what about when the image is of words? in this case i think it's fair to say that this image {of words} is worth 1000 words...

the brain as a biological organism/ analog vs digital debate
this might seem like an obvious statement.. however, the idea that it might not be leapt out at me in the first 30s of reading this article:
"Are brains analog, or digital?"
honestly, this article really annoyed me. i personally don't think that there is a need for the attitude that prevails in this guy's writing - which in itself is confusing and hard to follow. i don't think i even understand what argument the author is trying to make. other than saying that a psycholinguist and associate professor of psychology at Cornell is not "a real scientist". which i take a fair amount of offense at on behalf of the professor, the school, and the field of psychology.
so while i originally started out this entry to comment on the actual contents of the analog vs digital metaphor of the brain, instead i am more interested in finding a better source for my insight into this debate... because i can't take anything in the above article seriously.
