Philosopheasy Podcast Why Your Brain is Like a River Delta? Exploring the Nature of Knowledge with Warren McCulloch
Ever wondered how a clump of cells can think, dream, and even question its own existence? Join us as we delve into the groundbreaking work of Warren McCulloch, a visionary who dared to ask: What IS a number, that a man may know it, and a man, that he may know a number? McCulloch's relentless pursuit led him to explore the brain as a complex, interconnected system, more like a river delta than a simple machine. We'll explore his fascinating work on the frog's eye, the concept of the "anastomotic brain," and the mind-bending idea of circular causality. Get ready to have your perception of thinking, consciousness, and even reality itself challenged!
