Scientific Brain Model: How Does The Mind Work?

 The following is part of Chapter IV of "A Scientific Model Of The Brain: From Instinct to Reason, How Does The Mind Work" .  TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. The scientific method and how intelligent behavior is brought about in the brain. 1.1. The scientific method is - as a matter of fact - a very basic, all-purpose investigation method and, as such - contrary to general belief - not only is its application domain not limited to the natural sciences, but it is actually especially well-suited for impossibly complex, inscrutable questions such as the origin of Civilization, the State, power, love, intelligence, consciousness or human nature. 1.2. Predictions are the key to intelligent behavior: If we can predict what is going to happen, all there is to intelligent choices and behaviors is to choose the plan of action, predicted to yield the sought-after stuff. 1.3. The scientific method best describes how intelligent behavior is brought about in the brain: The strategy is to learn a mod...

There is the general misconception, according to which the scientific method's application domain is limited to the natural sciences and it cannot be employed for the investigation of complex abstract concepts such as civilization, state, power, love, intelligence, consciousness or human nature. Yet, nothing could be further from the truth, since the scientific m...

 Clearly we still have much to learn from Nature on how our consciousness is placed at the service of the entire organism. Indeed, if the conscious level of our brain, as the executive office of the animal organism, has direct control over the muscles, what prevents the neurons making up consciousness from emulating those at the top of human societies in taking advantage of using their power in their very own interest? The Ideology will of course always disingenuously put all the blame of human complex societies' dysfunctionality on the evil of human nature: human beings are selfish, only look after one's own, and will never feel any genuine concern for the wellbeing of others, let alone the common good. Yet, there is no indication that neurons are any tiny bit less selfish. Definitely, it is knot known that neurons feel any kind of love, compassion or concern for anything but themselves. In fact, to the extent that neurons have no soul nor brain and, consequently, it seems saf...
