what a pity that you do not want to supply me with some more of your 'reasoning' on those issues
one of the subjects i am interested in is the way the brain of someone with some mental anomaly works
regardless if that is due to oxygen deprivation, physical injury, chemical imbalance or genetically
so unfortunately i have to make do with only weakly associated fragments of wording, sad

I gave multiple lectures, quotes, and valid content with inspirational ideology, you've given nothing but contempt, snide requests, and futile judgement. Define: Sad.

dreaming is a recovery, a chemical & electrical re-balance, it's necessary.
the "compression" representation is pretty nice, the global function of properly reorganizing data...

it's a selection factor in the context of "evolution", meaning it may even provide more than a simple maintenance.


brickheads may try to pollute another place ? thanks


Saying "it is," on something that is complete speculation from personal experience and wisdom isn't the most ideal way to express an opinion.
Even if what you said is absolutely accurate and correct, it implies that all it is, which is misleading. Sleep isn't just about recovery and physical system balancing.
Indeed, the complexity of the process of how it accomplishes those things is more likely vastly more complex than our understanding of a computers way of going about this.
Our memories and experiences are first-person perspectives so this part is extremely difficult to translate into a subtle context like defragging a computer; mostly because of the personal integration. Emotions, perspectives, ideas, and the like.


/e

I suppose you'd have to take into factor that it's not some outside entity that is doing the defrag/analysis/reworking of your memories and bodily function, it is you, the being itself that does these things. Your body, your mind, these are you in fact, not some external function being imposed onto you.

if you could provide any at least minimally reasonable reference as well that would be amazing

No. Do it yourself.

Are you ever going to post something that isn't completely dedicated to me? If you aren't, I'd strongly suggest leaving this section, or at least this thread. It seems as though only one person here can handle the expression of opinion in relation to what I have said, rather than condemn and belittle what I have said with shitposts; and or; Hurr Durr's.

This isn't a religious discussion, it is scientific principles. If you do not comprehend what is being said, don't spam rage. If it really got you so upset you need to shitpost, then perhaps you should create a blog to ease your flustered mentality.

I'm not doing a job; I'm not working for you; and I'm not working on a research paper. If you want resources and references, go find them yourself. My work doesn't come from a single objectified source. I have compiled this information from personal experiences. Not from copypasta content I stole from others, like you're trying to degrade me for not doing.

excellent advice ... if you would only follow it yourself  :)

If only you'd learn to think before spamming. If you'd have clicked my profile, you'd see that I do in fact have a blog. Furthermore, I, as a teenager created my own blog and designed the UI to it for experience. I also use vast channels over the web in IIRC and custom channels located in private sections off the web.
I only share my knowledge and experience here with lesser minds like yourself, because I know no one here has the intelligence or sophistication to steal, articulate, or share any ideas I express here. Therefore, I know nothing will trace back to me.


/e
The stuff I am posting here is incredibly dumb-ed down but in relation to your posts, I look like an unthinkable genius. When to me, my posts look pathetic, and your posts look like "HURRRR DURRRR." in addition quotes to something I've said.

dreaming is a -recovery-, a chemical & electrical re-balance, it's necessary.
=> this one is the basics; not dreaming leads to death (hormonal dysf, heart disease etc...)

the "compression" representation is pretty nice, the global function of properly reorganizing data...
=> here i meant this is -good shorctut- in the first step, just the right direction, of course it would be dumb to consider it is exactly like a computer.

it's a selection factor in the context of "evolution", meaning it may even provide more than a simple maintenance.
=> individuals with the most efficient recovery would be selected often, and any other "extra feature" above...*

*(as example; dreams from/affected by genetic memory... Big stuff, serious business...)

edit; No worries

Perhaps we didnt evolve the ability to dream, we are just currently evolving the ability to shut down the mind completely when sleeping.

Dreaming is a by-product of our mind and consciousness. We did not evolve the capacity to do so and it probably serves no useful function.
