Interesting thoughts. I feel like I've harped on this point so much, but here it goes again.

I completely agree with you when you say that you "don't think that unpredictability in the brain is unpredictable in the least." I believe that they brain is in fact highly ordered (or perhaps I'm just really uncomfortable with the notion of disorder), and that there is a predictablity that we don't have the means to understand as of yet. As I've stated before in a previous blog post "it seems to me that order is tied to the language with which we speak about such phenomena. That is, as science evolves, so will our understanding of "orderliness" and in this way orders and complexities can thus be created...Perhaps an order, unobservable to the human eye or any human sense exists." This would then imply that we do not have free will...this is unsettling to me as it would seem that if the brain were in fact so predictable then we should share more similarities in our behaviors than are actually manifested. But perhaps this is already the case???
