You can actually nowadays figure out what somebody is hearing in their ears from the activity on their auditory cortex. Very cool, impressive stuff. It's not mind reading. The auditory cortex is just laying out the different frequencies. Okay. think about what a thought actually is for you.

The thought is, when you walked in my house, you're thinking, okay, let's see, I'm carrying this thing in my left hand. Oh, I've got to step over here because there's a rock in the way. I'm just moving over here. And oh, I've never been to David's house before, even though David and I have known each other for a long time. And oh, look, oh, what's that? Oh, there's a grill over there. Cool.

Yeah, exactly. There's so much... thinking that we're never going to be able to figure out because it has to do with you and it has to do with, oh, and I forgot. I have to tell my brother about this thing that I forgot that happened last week. And all these things are running through your head all the time. So point is, we can measure visual cortex. We can measure auditory cortex.

We can measure auditory cortex.

but all the rest of it is what's happening in your brain. It's on your experiences, yeah. That would all be like noise in this machine. Yeah, exactly. We couldn't possibly understand what it is because let's imagine that I don't know that you have a brother and that something happened to you last week that you need to tell him about.

If I don't know that, there's no way for me to establish a correlation in the neuroimaging.

Okay, you can imagine a scenario a thousand years from now where there's so much cameras and things and everything that every moment of your life is tracked. And then in theory, you've got to be a lot closer, but still you might have thoughts that are remixing things that you've experienced.

I wouldn't know that if you think, wait, I saw this piece of architecture over here and then I saw this other thing over here. And what if I put that on a Euro bill? I wouldn't be able to read that because I've never... Seeing you experience that, you're remixing it.
