Eventually the child begins to respond to the patterns Seems a bit early to jump to the conclusion that we understand cognition. We don't. I agree that there is nothing exotic or metaphysical about brain meat, but really we're still feeling around in the dark with respect to how thinking occurs. I'm confident that we'll get there eventually though.
