I want to make a HN account and reply to the 'depression and schizophrenia is or isn't a hardware/software issue' posters and tell them there is actually is a working IQ test, and they all just failed it.
@Soyweiser @sneerclub It is not possible to understand neuroscience using a “hardware/software” paradigm. That is a model created by humans to make building working computers possible. Brains develop without any such abstraction constraining the process.
Or at least what people are thinking of as "software" is wrong; neuroscience is 100% "hardware". Can't expect techbros to understand memetics or iatrogenic illnesses, though, not when they're fixated on the idea that people with depression/schizophrenia/etc. are having "issues" rather than experiencing society.
