Do software-generated "connections" really generate inspiration?

of course ...

But when when we speak of “thinking” in the context of “experience”—remember your original question? [“Certainly we all have had the experience of reading something or hearing something which, along with our previous thoughts, resulted in an inspiration.”]—then talk about dendrites is irrelevant. We don’t DIRECTLY experience “activity of brain cells, their connectors (dendrites), brain and other body chemicals, and the interactions of all of these”

If you wanted an answer in those terms, you should have asked a neuro-scientist. It seemed to me that you were asking a “phenomenological” question.
