if no matter what you thought about you had a sense brian’s activity was uniformly honest, would this be an indication brian is not honest

I mean what is the chances really, that brian is likely to be uniformly honest across all and anything you might think about

and what is the most common experience of brian being a bit dodgy, a bit slippery, and is a sense of brian’s slipperiness universal

Quintice is a pun.

What I wanna know is, who is Brian? Be honest, now.

he’s a naughty boy, isn’t he?

Well people are often dishonest, as I think has been pointed out on various occasions by numerous observers.

Show me a completely honest brain and it will probably belong to some primitive species.

the proposition is of the sensation of equal honesty no matter what a brian apprehends, whatever the subject, would it be an indicator or otherwise of level of honesty capabilities if the experience were the same across, well, say to generalize for the thought exercise, across all or any subjects you might entertain

i’ll give the proposition a more personal flavor

do you ever experience your brian gets a bit slippery, for example with what it projects into conscious awareness, and how easy it stays for examination, ever wondered how an idea might fade away so quick, even seem irretrievable

now you might need do a couple good lines of cocaine, go to sleep with a notepad and pen alongside your bed, so that open waking you might write down whatever in the twilight state before the wetware puts it back in the basement

surely a sense of others dishonesty, detecting deceit, requires detecting it in oneself, the hoodoo of the wetware, the devices, tricks, whatever

Could it be Brian Westlake?

Brian. The babe they called ‘Brian’,
He grew, grew, grew, and grew
Grew up to be, grew up to be
A boy called ‘Brian’,

A boy called ‘Brian’.
He had arms, and legs, and hands, and feet,
This boy, whose name was ‘Brian’,
And he grew,, grew, grew, and grew,

Grew up to be,
Yes, he grew up to be
A teenager called ‘Brian’,
A teenager called ‘Brian’,

And his face became spotty.
Yes, his face became spotty,
And his voice dropped down low
And things started to grow

On young Brian and show
He was certainly no,
No girl named ‘Brian’,
Not a girl named ‘Brian’.

And he started to shave
And have one off the wrist
And want to see girls
And go out and get pissed,

A man called ‘Brian’,
This man called ‘Brian’,
The man they called ‘Brian’,
This man called ‘Brian’!

Romans go home

There are at least three aspects to this. One is about how the brian functions in general. The other is about, well, Jungian archaetypes. A third is an observation from the TV show “Stacey Dooley investigates.

How the brian functions in general.
The brian is essentially a machine. Coincidence builds connections. Connections contain memory. Brian’s action is to read back those memories. As a memory is read, it gets altered, partially wiped as it were. This is not in itself honest or dishonest. In addition, the brian’s reward centre is what tends to control conscious thought. Continual repetition, each repeat lowers brain activity from the previous repeat and so lowers reward. Trying something new results in more brian activity which stimulates the reward centre. This something new includes dishonesty, so being dishonest triggers brians reward centre.

Jungian archaetypes.
The four best known Jungian archaetypes are the persona, anima, animus, and shadow. The shadow includes the self-destructive instinct. A person who is dominated by the shadow archaetype can be said to be in a state of demonic possession. I’m aware of my own inner demon, it makes me say and do inappropriate things at inappropriate times. Like Tourette’s syndrome, but more general. It will trip you up whenever it can, including literally trip you up by making you miss a step. And if it takes over then a person may become completely immoral.

Observation on a Stacey Dooley show.
A bounty hunter on a Stacey Dooley TV show made the observation that people are of two types – honest and liars. Liars will choose a lie over the truth whenever they can, whenever they feel they can get away with it. This may be an oversimplification, but it helps to explain politics.

Neuroscientists recorded electrical activity from areas of the brain (yellow and red dots) as patients listened to the Pink Floyd song, “Another Brick in the Wall, Part 1.”:https://news.berkeley.edu/2023/08/15/releases-20230811?utm_medium=email&utm_source=rasa_io&utm_campaign=newsletter Using artificial intelligence software, they were able to reconstruct the song from the brain recordings. This is the first time a song has been reconstructed from intracranial electroencephalography recordings.
