Can examples of the animal world relate to the CFS theory? Science calls basic animal intelligence instinct . Cattle can walk minutes after being born, twin female Hyena babies begin a duel to the death shortly after birth and kangaroo fetuses embark in an arduous journey from the womb to the awaiting nipple inside the mother's pouch. This is illustrated best in creatures that are sometimes extremely small such as the spider. After the spider's brain is switched on, how does it 'know' how to spin a complex web?
Is this basic information? Scientists still cannot create viable four-wheeled robot vehicles that can transverse deserts on their own. Imagine the amount of instruction and code that would be required to teach a robot how to walk, fight or reach replenishment in an unknown environment!
We know the growth cycle of a fetus. A single cell multiplies over and over--where does the knowledge come in? The only logical answer is that it was already where it should be, in a common fileserver that animals immediately begin using upon awakening for the first time.
How big is our brain?
Roughly, it is the size of a man's fist. If we were to suppose that all of our knowledge, personality, motor control & behavior were contained within, how much storage would be required? This article was written on a iBook G3 with a hard drive of 30GB. MacOS is the best O/S on the planet's surface (at the time of this writing) and all told requires a couple gigabytes of space. That's the control. A computer has minimal requirements for motor control--it just needs to figure out standard in and out. What my genius laptop lacks is true autonomous knowledge.
Memories
Can you remember your grandmother's cooking? What about a certain smell in springtime? Try to remember back to a memory and now think about how much storage would be required to hold the video, audio, touch and smells. I don't know about you, but I have tremendous memories of my life and haven't hit 40 yet. Our operating system, that keeps us alive and the numerous languages you may speak and everything you've learned while employed must add up to a huge amount of data. All of that is kept in my head?
"Wait a minute! You just argued that brain size doesn't matter. Therefore, no matter the size, it holds gobs of information."
The brain is not limitless. There are a fixed number of cells and neurons. The brain has other more important functions to perform such as motor control, management of emotions and balancing the endocrine system. Most humans are built like each other. If all brains are roughly the same storage size, why aren't we more identical? Shouldn't we all be able to think and know as much as that geek on Jeopardy?
Electronic Antennas come in many shapes and sizes. Some are clearly better than others at reception. We know they hold no data. Based on observations of antennas and what the brain is composed of, I'm certain there are similarities between the two.
"If knowledge is not held in the brain, where is it kept?"
Couldn't tell you. If I could, you'd be reading my bestseller with a picture of me on the back cover kissing my Nobel prize. I cannot show you what an atom looks like (other than what science book illustrations show) since I've never seen one of those either. It doesn't mean that I don't believe that we are composed of them. I believe in magnetic waves traveling through the Earth's poles, gravity holding me to this chair and the sound waves from Dire Straits hitting my eardrums. Yet I cannot see any of them.
Let's shift gears to a more interesting aspect of the "Brain is an antenna" section of the CFS theory--one that covers mind reading.
For hundreds of years, great magicians have performed shows on supposed mind reading. Usually, they receive not readily apparent queues from their assistants. The worst, are folks that know how to ask vague questions (that could really pertain to anything) and figure out a person's story. "I see an old lady--she is dead and was very close to you." Jesus. Everybody knew one of those. I want to hear one say: "You pissed your pants in your fourth grade classroom because your bitch teacher, Mrs. Murphy, wouldn't let you go to the bathroom!" That would be dynamite entertainment!
Still, there are other entertainers that have the ability to read thoughts. I still haven't figured out the Amazing Kreskin--that is, unless he's tied in with the Cosmic Fileserver, of course!
If my brain is self-contained and your brain is the same, how can you possibly 'hear' what's going on inside my skull? Have you ever 'known' what was on your friends mind? In our theory, your brain antenna receives and broadcasts information to your storage location on the server. Everyone else is doing the same. Can someone play with his or her frequencies enough to eavesdrop on your signal? It works with most broadcast mediums. Have you heard of twins reading each other's minds? Technically, identical twins are one pattern, one clone. Therefore, they have identical copies of brain--I would think that they are more apt to read each other's thoughts. If the brain was self-contained and required no outside communication then the phenomenon of mind reading by twins or anyone else shouldn't exist.
