How to Figure Out Which Inputs Are More Important Than Others

We don't really know in advance which inputs are more important than others based on whatever we're trying to do.

Without it, all these connections of neurons just will combine everything together into some, you know, big pudding I don't know. And there's this idea that goes along with it called convergence,. The goal is to get that network and weights adjusted so that when I present it with new information, it gives me the desired results.
