Death... The Moment, Sometime In The Future,

...you Are Battered And Bruised In The Collisions Between Reminiscence And Reality.

What A Life In Science Really Teaches You Is The Vastness Of Our Ignorance.

When One Part Of The Brain Makes A Choice, Other Parts Can Quickly Invent A Story To Explain Why. If You Show The Command "walk" To The Right Hemisphere (the One Without Language), The Patient Will Get Up And Start Walking. If You Stop Him And Ask Why He's Leaving, His Left Hemisphere, Cooking Up An Answer, Will Say Something Like "i Was Going To Get A Drink Of Water."

If Our Brains Were Simple Enough To Be Understood, We Wouldn't Be Smart Enough To Understand Them.

Reductionism Is Not The Right Viewpoint For Everything, And It Certainly Won't Explain The Relationship Between The Brain And The Mind. This Is Because Of A Feature Known As Emergence. When You Put Together Large Numbers Of Pieces And Parts, The Whole Can Become Something Greater Than The Sum.
