    For what it's worth, which is probably very little. There is some current scientific thinking that posits that the brain is a receiver of consciousness, similar to a TV and thoughts/memories/ideas etc are the programmes watched on the TV.

    It goes someway to explaining why it's been impossible so far to find a memory, yet it is quite easy to record the effects, via MRI, of the memory. The analogy being that you would find it entirely impossible to find 'True Detective' inside the components of your TV.

    • It's not actually. You're saying you recorded the radio on the tape-deck so the music must be stored there.
