I'm always super skeptical when I see a blanket statement like this about how "the brain" works. Maybe many brains do but there are too many incredibly fundamental variations of how peoples' brains work to generalise too much. Aphantasia, variations in inner monologues, different sensory processing... we really are all our own unique creatures.
- johnchristopher 6y agoBut saying "no we are all unique" is another blanket statement. It's more likely we almost all share the same feature set. Doesn't mean exceptions or tendencies don't exist. You know... Like... Most of us have fingers, ears, skin, etc.
- taneq 6y agoTrue, most of us share a bunch of processing and the same kind of tricks work on us. And we all share a lot of lower level stuff with most mammals. There's still way more variation between humans mentally than physically.
