Mathematics is a language, a language of patterns. You can conjure up any pattern, real or imagined, and prove it mathematically.
Mathematics must always be tied back down to reality, it cannot be a substitute for observation. @mahgister

I just say the same thing in my last post... Then we are in the same boat.... What i called an "imaginative context" for mathematization is a "reality" perceived by humans and ONLY described by maths on some aspects.... Friston is a perfect example....He use old mathematics in a totally new way....
But we can describe some qualities with mathematic, like in acoustic for example, but the qualitative experience cannot be exhausted by measures or numbers...

I doubt we would agree on where the revolutions are in neuroscience but I agree, revolutions, but not just in neuroscience, but in all areas of "human" science. We even have an Aids vaccine on the horizon, and I expect we are going to see cancer vaccines in the not too distant future. I will leave @yuviarora out of the conversation. There is just not enough background to work with there. Accusing others of only believing what you are told why parroting the fringes of pseudo-science is not the recipe for intelligent discussion. I grew up being a Tesla fan. The more I knew, the less impressed I was. There were far less inventors and far more simple and undiscovered in Tesla's era than today, not to mention far lower cost to patent. Things are much different today. |
By the way i was speaking about a revolution in biology not about new technologies..vaxx technology are easy today ask Gates...Do you take sharks are geniuses? Friston ideas are a revolution, not new tech in medecine only or mainly... And you said you have been a Tesla fan... I smile because you denigrate him completely with falsities... He was only a tinkerer you said ....With more inventions than the great Steinmetz himself...Is Steinmetz a tinkerer? He vas not a scientist you said.. False... He has a big ego .... False for anybody knowing his life... He died broke ... Which is true but it is no way the testimony of a failure but the sign on the contrary of his true dimension in life.... He never bother himself with the economical aspect of his inventions and even throw a contract of millions dollars just to help a friend...( Westinghouse) He was gifted among other talents with eidetic memory.... I proved by fact that eidetic memory exist contrary to your dismissal... Why not apologizing for your negation of evident facts? you are silent? You even say he was senile in old age which is false....
Your last argument is meaningless... You just said that it was easy to be "Tesla" in his time and today it is more difficult to be a "Tesla"? Is it the reason why you are not a genius? With your childish line of reasoning Archimedes had a more easy way for sure living in a older past......I guess you dont know anythhing about his method... It takes 2 millenia to understand Archimedes, do you think is genius is exhausted by " tinkering" in his bath? You think really that you are superior it seems ?
Try to read a genius and explain it to me tomorrow,his name is Karl Friston, i will wait...Do you need more than a day? it take me few hours and i am not a genius...I supposed you will easily did it in few hours... Try Karl Friston...I will be here to read your briefing about him... His work is the beginning of a revolution in life science similar only to quantum mechanic in physics... Explain to me why i said so if i am right and why i am wrong if it is the case...I will wait ... After all you are a genius... 😁😊
I know too much geniuses in all fields myself to brag about me like you did here... i am not a scientist at all by the way contrary to you... And not a genius at all.... But i KNOW how to read ...Books and people...
I hate when someone attack very great souls...Tesla is a great soul not only a genius....
