Free Will, Consciousness, Identity (Identity)
The question of free will IS purely irrelevant. Because it is a fact that we cannot will more than one thing at a time.[/i] > > > > > > I hate to keep butting in, but I multitask all the time, choose to do three things at once. I don't understand your context. Show me how it is a fact please, or am I interpreting you at the wrong level? > > > > http://brainrules.blogspot.com/2008/03/brain-cannot-multitask_16.html ... > > > Your multitasking is a personal fiction. > > I"m glad you have swallowed this guy whole hog. I don't know that I believe him. He offered statements but no proof. If he is basing his conclusions on fMRI studies, I have presented two neurophysiologists here recently who both point out the fallacies in the published conclusions. I still can't equate blood flow to a region of the brain and we are supposed to know what the person is thinking.-That guy's blog didn't start my thinking this way. Actually, my meditation did, coupled with my computer science knowledge surrounding multitasking. It's a mathematical fact: tasks get done faster when done individually as opposed to frequent "context switching." (Technical term for switching tasks.)-There's actually a plethora of data from the apa even, that demonstrates that "multitasking effectiveness" doesn't play out in the real world. Prime example: Study after study has demonstrated that talking on the cell phone while driving delivers the same impairment as being legally drunk. -I'll also note that few drunk drivers--if at all--*feel* impaired. Yet we all know it happens every time. I'll challenge that your multitasking is little different. -I'm not talking about tasks that are outsourced to muscle memory either: surgical cutting has more to do with exercise than it does with conscious control. In fact, I'll bet conscious control makes you a little worse. -If you watch your thoughts carefully, I have extreme doubts that you are actually *thinking* three things at once. Everyone else's experience seems to be "There might be 3 things going on, but I'm only 'hearing' one."

\"Why is it, Master, that ascetics fight with ascetics?\"
\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
