The human brain, as the frame of cognition, simply cannot cognize - TopicsExpress



          

The human brain, as the frame of cognition, simply cannot cognize itself the way it does other systems. It is, as a matter of empirical necessity, not simply blind to its own mechanics, but blind to this blindness. It suffers medial neglect. Unable to access and cognize its origins, and unable to cognize this inability, it assumes that it accesses all there is to access—it confuses itself for something bottomless, an impossible exception to physics. - Scott Bakker rsbakker.wordpress/2014/03/14/incomplete-cognition-an-eliminativist-reading-of-terrence-deacons-incomplete-nature/
