Human Mind

a: Human MInd ~
b: Computer NOT!

What: "People who believe that the mind can be replicated on a computer tend to explain the mind in terms of a computer. When theorizing about the mind, especially to outsiders but also to one another, defenders of artificial intelligence (AI) often rely on computational concepts." --

What If The Internet Goes Down?

a: Human mind ~
b: computer terminal connected to a database

What: "The individual human mind is like a computer terminal connected to a giant database. The database is human consciousness itself, of which our own cognizance is merely an individual expression, but with its roots in the common consciousness of all mankind. This database is the realm of genius" Now I know what Steve Jobs was smoking.

Order And Chaos

a: Human mind ~
b: a pile of spaghetti on top of a waffle

What: Order and chaos on the same plate. I wish I could think of another stringy food that goes well with a waffle. That may come to me in the future. This metaphor is appropriate. The human psyche can be thought of in a dualistic way. But at the end of the day it is a whole. A worthy goal in life is to get the spaghetti to merge with the waffle and to taste good on the same plate. The waffle is like a categorical structure like Kant's invocation of Plato's theory of Innate Ideas. The spaghetti the fluid looping of am Aristotelian conceptual framework that helps people to sense and think about the word. They are part of a whole. What other stringy food would go good with a waffle?

a: Human Mind ~
b: a building filled with archaic furniture

What:

"The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out. Every mind is a building filled with archaic furniture. Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will
instantly fill it." What is old in biochemical technology that may
stand in the way of the not-yet-discovered?

Rock In The Head?

a: The human mind ~
b: clay

What: "It appears to me that the human mind is like clay, and if you let it dry long enough, or fire it in the right oven, it'll harden like a brick. With conscious effort, we may be able to avoid this."

They Both Like Fish

a: The human mind ~
b: a cat

What: "The human mind is like a cat. It is a creature of habit and a connoisseur of comfort. It changes, but its change is patterned. I have watched a number of cats get into a set routine, a preferred napping spot, etc. Then someone forgets to leave a door open etc, and they do something else. This something else naturally becomes their new routine. "

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
