There's a lot of work on how the neocortex is special in implementing computations that subcortical structures are (presumably) not suitable for.
But it seems birds achieve the same outcome with a nuclear organization. So why not the mammalian subcortex as well?
I don't know why this is the thing that got me 7. But it just sounded so insane to me 43.5. Like, if you put random numbers at the end of your sentences, that doesn't convince me of your claims 99.78. It just sounds more far-fetched than it already sounded without the numbers 0.005.
Did I miss the statistics course for philosophers? (I would actually take that) Because I'm pretty sure that's not how probability works- just slap on a random number after your claim and now people are supposed to take it more seriously?!
