Minds in the 21st century.

When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

Arthur C. Clarke's 1 law.


At the present rate of progress, it is almost impossible to imagine any technical feat that cannot be achieved - if it can be achieved at all - within the next few hundred years.

Arthur C. Clarke, 1983.

Making sense of the World

According to the ancient Greeks, humans can only acquire higher knowledge and insights (make sense of the world), when we have Self Knowledge. And, in order to know oneself, one must surely know what the self is all about.

Hopefully, links (below) about happy brains, brain controls,
semantic info in our heads and mind experiments brings us a little closer to knowing.
Indeed, despite overwhelming odds against it, we are wired to try to make sense of it all
