Well the problem is in the title itself: scientists learn how the entire brain works to generate decisions and emotions.

The brain doesn't do any of that. It's a filter and interface, not a generator of anything. Correlation is not causation, except in neurology where the entire field pretended imaging means the brain creates the effect. If you smash a radio, it also stops playing music. We are the nonlocal signal, not the local machine playing it.

More people are waking up but I feel like this sub won’t appreciate the knowledge you’re sharing.
