people get together have coffee   talk

when they did  him and friend   they talked too

                                                      So what do you think about our brains being quantum?

Suffused or diffused

Strange question.

                    The difference?

Suffused Something spread over something else

                                                    Diffused  Something spreading throughout

Peanut butter on bread sponge absorbing water

Ah.  I would imagine diffused.

And quantum mechanics theory  describing the behavior of nature of the brain at an below the scale of atoms comprising it

Yes. That’s quantum.

    Basal ganglia jumps out at me

Responsible for motor control as well motor learning executive functions behaviors  emotions  Group of subcortical nuclei

Anthas about all I know bouttha

                                    You

What you said sounds correct.

 

    We actually agree

We do, amazing.

Yah

      Why are we drinking coffee then

Damn near worthy a toast as rare as we agree

No, we agree often.

Less often than you think

You think.

Just said  No matter

                         Whas your query

I think our brain is quantum.

Its a fascinating concept

Computers are rudimentary brains, their concept is.

Sowhas your ask

Seems we’re learning of it through headsets.

EEGs

Is that what they’re called?

Electroencephalographs  Yes

                                 Provides biofeedback neurofeedback  same difference

Awright.

          Think that will help scientists . . decode . if you would . . . the quantum brain?

    It might lie

Lie?

      How do you mean?

Woudnt you think the brain woud be aware it was being ifyawoud   being interrogated

Strange thing to say.

                       I don’t know.

Neither do I

              Though if it did it coud send scientists down myriads of rabbitholes

That’s a strange thing to say.

Let me get this straight, your word or the word, illuminous, was declared obsolete in the midSeventeenth Century.

Wha Ive read yes

Who determines if a word should be obsolete?

I cant speak for the Seventeenth Century but currently lexicographers dictionary editors are the authority

                                                                                                                I will say this however  words are labeled obsolete archaic old-fashioned rather than deleted

Like good oldfashioned liveryless

                                     Livery  Horses  Without horses   Liveryless

It is an obsolete word

    And why do you know that?

I read the dictionary dictionaries  I own many different dictionaries published in the Thirties an forward

Why?

Words

         Fascinating as shithave always been to me

I wish languages came easy

                                  They have not do not

    Whell, you should realise ya just shot me down.

Shot you down  How

I thought if there was an Obsolete Committee, that’d be a committee I wouldn’t mind heading.

Thas funny

               You actually made a joke

I did didn’t I?

    Don let it go to your head

You couldn’t. The sun feels so good.

No doubt implies absolute

No.

If we looked up the definition of doubt wha do ya think wed find

What do you think we’d find?

Uncertainty  Lack of conviction

                                   Howbout   unsureness  he chuckled

Yes.  I’d agree with you.

No doubt implies absolute

                             Its binary

No doubt yes doubt

    Yeah.

Do you have your phone on you

Of course I do.

Of course you do

as he produced it from the front left pocket of his slacks Wanna hear something weird?

I like weird

I keep my phone on vibrate so I don’t miss a call . .

. . Or text

Yeah. he nodded Text.

Youre on-call youre on beckancall   Idiom for idiots

You got to knock me?

Yah

        I gotta

    Weird

Ohyeah. Weird. he started going into his phone

                                                   STOP yacant do two things at once

Tell me weird first  I wont forget youre looking up Stephen Hawkings death

Too soon

I think not

he stopped Whell.

                      If I don’t have my phone on me sometimes I’ll feel it vibrate on my leg.

Psychosomatic?

Psycho

No. Come on.

                 You think that’s psychosomatic?

Let me clarify your circumstance

                                        Is the phone elsewhere but where you can hear it ring

No.

Phone not on you its not ringing

Yes.

 

    Ive no idea

Weird huh?

I think peoples utter dependency on what should be a tool of limited use is weird

Talk with anyone as dependent as yourself to find out if they are experiencing something of the kind

Good Vibrations

                   Coudnt help myself

No. No I haven’t but that’s a good idea.

On occasion  Lemme know how it goes

                                                             Hawking

Ohyes. immediately started in at it

 

Here. Stephen Hawking.

                                   He . died . . . March Fourteenth Twentyeighteen.

Approaching seven years

                           Not too soon  The man is dead

Yeahbut . . come on . a little respect.

Tons of respect

                  But tha doesnt diminish the humour

You think it’s funny.

Dude

        You grinned an laughed  Its funny

You surprised me is all.

                           I’m sorry I did.

Why

      I think Hawking woud want humour associated with him  I do not believe he was mirthless

Man had three children

Cant keep a good man down

                                Which return us to him his presynthesised voice

Heck of a job fella who was Hawkings translator interpreter

Was he the sole bloke or were there others who fit the bill  I believe others toosmall cadre anall put out of a job by a machine

Why do you believe that?

A lot of people don understand me an others have to explain me because I havent the patience to repeat myself  They hear me correctly but prefer not to believe what I say

Whell.

           You can be pretty outrageous.

Somebodys got to be outside the box to helpem out of it

Why are you laboring it

I wanted you to see what I was talking about.
