I'm not saying I know how it functions, only how it works. I know the difference between thought patterns (emotions), neural pathways (memories) and external, electric signals (senses).

Again, BS. You can't know that with what an average allowance or work could buy you, eqipment wise. Oh, and that creepy mask thingy made me want to dig up the old majoras mask cartrage and say bring on the effing haunting!

Just saying, I've read more meaningful sentances than that last one in graffitti. You don't need equipment to learn that, only wikipedia.

 

"Emotion is the complex psychophysiological experience of an individual's state of mind as interacting with biochemical and environmental influences. In humans, emotion fundamentally involves "physiological arousal, expressive behaviors, and conscious experience".[1] Emotion is associated with mood, temperament, personality and disposition, and motivation."

 

"In philosophy, psychology, and cognitive science, perception is the process of attaining awareness or understanding of sensory information. The word "perception" comes from the Latin words perceptio, percipio, and means "receiving, collecting, action of taking possession, apprehension with the mind or senses."[1]"

 

"In psychology, memory is an organism's ability to store, retain, and recall information and experiences. Traditional studies of memory began in the fields of philosophy, including technique of artificially enhancing the memory. The late nineteenth and early twentieth century put memory within the paradigms of cognitive psychology. In recent decades, it has become one of the principal pillars of a branch of science called cognitive neuroscience, an interdisciplinary link between cognitive psychology and neuroscience."

And wikipedia explains the fact that it is written by multiple people. not always accurate information. Always changing. And never a good source to use in a talk of emotions and [bleep]ing torture.

We're done with the subject on wether or not lobotomy is torture.

 

However I am most certain that most people here agree with me that you are talking rubbish right now, even though emotions to play an important role in forming and sustaining our personalities they do not affect memory in any other way than that it is remembered.

... I'm going to go play a game off the comp, and every time i stab something to death i'll imagine iot's you. Good day.

It's certainly plausible. The brain is so complicated we probaly couldn't assume one thing or another. For example, removing one hemisphere of the brain can actually make some patients with severe epilepsy and other neurodegenerative disorders smarter.

 

I don't think we should be arguing on the science right now.

I think I'll make something we sorely need.

 

EDIT:

Take this as a warning; Get your [cabbage] together, Dungeonal, or I will call in the authorities.

Mather, I was actually paying attention to your points. Even though you're not right, you were pulling a strong argument on your side...Then you said 'wikipedia'. I no longer think anything you've said holds any merit now. lol

Actually I knew it from different sources such as Science Illustrated and others, I just knew it would be on wikipedia.

But at least I was trying to prove a point and keeping my post quality up, Dungeonal was simply trolling in order to be annoying.

Does != mean 'more serious version of'? Since I do know that what Dungeonal was doing is trolling.

That's =/=. Anyways useless posts meant to annoy others = trolling.

When I reported Dungeonal a few minutes ago was my first report, do not make assumptions like that.

 

And no I don't know Python, I prefer true languages like PHP and Java (though I am a rookie on the latter).

There's a difference between stating that four words out of context is trolling and saying that an entire post made up of four words is.

... There goes half an hours worth of stabbing things from one look at another of mathers posts.

I suppose 1 weeks worth of fiddling with visual basic wouldn't be appreciated, then? :rolleyes:

 

We're getting onto the real stuff next week anyway. Damn technicians kept putting the software installation off so we couldn't do any practical learning.

School problems ross?

Not particularly. It should be fixed by now anyway.

Cool. Glad to hear it.

perhaps they had no content to you mather, but I am certain they held content to others who bothered to think about what I was posting

 

yeah i know, actually thinking about what someone has posted.. that'd be a ridiculous thing to do

Sheesh. I leave for a day, and suddenly the tavern goes to all hell.

 

And on the topic of DF, I'm having fun modding stuff in. So far, I've got a metal with about half the qualities of adamantine that is capable of being found rarely in gold ore, a new ore that creates 2 new metals - 1 super-dense, brittle, bad-edge one, and one super-light, brittle, well-edged one.

 

Oh, and rifles, sledgehammers, and machetes.

 

Having DF on a laptop with ~6 hours of battery life is good for roadtrips.

I'm getting a new computer. Pretty high end. So I'll soon be able to play DF a lot more effectively.

 

100 fps, 200 dwarf fort here I come.

o_O I usually end up with ~6fps when I hit about 80 dwarves. Which is why, recently, I've been playing forts in worlds generated with 1000 titans and 200 volcanoes... in a pocket region.

 

Also, I figured out how to implement the [sPEED:0] thing. MACH 10 DWARVES GO

And yes, I'd liove to be a machine, I'd love to be able to live without attachements and dissapointments, to be able to develop myself as if my body was just a frame for me to work on, the abillity to see beyond what our brains are limited to comprehend.

On a side note, just got a 1920 x 1200 monitor (25.5") & a ATI 4850 with 1gb of video memory for the low price of $70. [bleep]yea.jpg
