What If We Had Bigger Brains?

Stephen Wolfram examines how increased neural connections could enhance capabilities like language and abstraction, exploring the implications for AI and neuroscience.

The article discusses how our brains process data in parallel, leading to a single set of actions. One commenter notes, “we can’t really describe our 'stream of consciousness' well with language.”

Another recurring theme in the discussion is the importance of embodied cognition and the environment in cognitive processes. Another user points out, “any approach which over-focuses on the brain... is missing half or more of the equation.”
