[Case] No but I think "experience" required a nervous system sophisticated enough to encode memory.
[Ron] Does The ability for single cell White blood cells to adapt to fight viruses and bacteria considered memory Of somesort? Would you consider they might collectivly "experience" a threat or are they simply a reaction Mechanism no more. If an alzhiemer patient burns themselves and does not remember the experience does that mean they did not experience the burn? If it is not remebered was it experienced? Is memory experience. Somehow that doesent feel right . All depends on How are your terming "experience" I suppose. [Case] Again the activity of white blood cells can best be understood on the basis of complex chemical processes. Admitting emotional involvement and judgments into the equation may provide the illusion of understanding but not much more. With the Alzheimer's patient I am tempted to say that ordinarily the burn would not constitute "experience" but these patients are grandfathered in. Truth is I don't have a good answer for that one. But it does raise an interesting question. Do Alzheimer's patients give us a clear picture of life on the cutting edge of pre-intellectual experience? moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
