Brain science? Why that particular interest?
It is amusing to read the Artificial Intelligence crowd in this light, and also to see which of them are actual writers or philosophers or scientists who 'get it.'
But, my recent practice of reading those that these have referenced has led me to read the very ones I had been avoiding all along--Homer, Plato, Plotinus, even poets from Shakespeare to Blake.
Anyway, that is one question I have had for a long time and still have. There are a few other questions I am still working on along with this one but of even less general interest. If it were the other AI it would be of some interest on FR.
