> specific alignment of brain wave patterns that seems a bit too intricate to be purely random.
Spend some time looking and you’ll find everything evolution has crafted contains patterns seemingly too intricate to be purely random. In my opinion this is an artifact of our collective laughably poor understanding of the powers of recursive formulae, especially those that have undergone countless rounds of differential optimizations. In fact, the question “could this have been created by evolution” is eerily similar to the halting problem. Suffice to say, our feeble “human intuition” is of little use against true uncomputability.
Less abstractly, it’s been proposed that by flashing through all your memories you might pick up on some prior experience that lets you recover and go on to have some more kids (or provide for existing kids a bit longer)
