Subject:	Human internet a no-go
Comment:	Human internet, kimosabe? The internet is not exactly applicable to human existance (you couldn't make a human internet) because... While each brain is a computer itself, it has different software than every other brain. The connections are set up differently (thats why we all have different memories, skills, etc.). Even speech and visual understandings are, at a level, varied within each human mind. I came upon this idea when wondering what it would be like to experience life as another person. I realized (rather slowly, actually) that to do so would make me into that person, since all of my neurons would have to be reprogrammed (as well as re-sized -- not all neurons are the same size). To have a human internet, you'd have to make the organic equivalent of a single operating system, which you would 'install' into people. I assume that if each person had a single 'operating system' that knowledge could be exchanged at that point. Everyone would be fundamentally the same, running on Microsoft and being generally boring as hell.

Subject:	The Human Internet Exsists
Comment:	The human internet does exsist, only it is much slower, and limited because it is not in the brain's native language. It could be called langauge, or anything else that like. While on the computer internet, the information is spacific at a location, for humans it is scattered about. Traveling in days and months instead of seconds, through the many human minds. The interesting though about the human internet, that may not be entirly possible on a computer internet is culture. While interfaces between multiple computer's is done through common languages (one's quickly converted to the native language of a computer) these languages are only changed by humans. What is interesting about the human internet, is the possability that culture is a life form it's self exsisting in the many minds. If thought about, this 'culcture' does acting something like a life form, the one's that thrive are the one's that reproduce the most (adopted by minds and spread). However, it can take too many recources from it's environment and have to adapt or die with the minds it's destroying (cultures that are violent by nature). Perhaps that will be something that comes later, rather then controlling an indevidual that commits a crime, controlling a culture.

Comment:	Your brain reaches into the sub-atomic world..a place were this simply are, occur with-out cause. The photons that go to your eyes create an electro-chemical signal which goes into the quantum world of 'is-ness' and pull up the pictures you see, actally see, superimposed onto what appears to be the real world provided by the photons appearant location. I believe the synaptic cell connectios in the brain manipulate the atom to the sub-atomic state....into the subatomic world, where things are actually seen, sounds actually heard...with no cause necessary. Jesus used the sub-atomic world...because if you try to smash a quark, it only produces more quarks. So in the sub-atomic world if you smash a clock....gears, and springs don't go flying out....more clock go flyimg out...some as big as the origional. That is why jesus fed 5000 with 3 loaves, and some fish. To answer the question.....THE BRAIN IN INFINITELY MORE than a computer......infinitely.
