We're Trapped On This Very Thin Slice

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

Instead Of Reality Being Passively Recorded By The Brain, It Is Actively Constructed By It.

All Life Will Die, All Mind Will Cease, And It Will All Be As If It Had Never Happened. That, To Be Honest, Is The Goal To Which Evolution Is Traveling, That Is The "benevolent" End Of The Furious Living And Furious Dying.

The Left Hemisphere Acts As An "interpreter," Watching The Actions And Behaviors Of The Body And Assigning A Coherent Narrative To These Events. And The Left Hemisphere Works This Way Even In Normal, Intact Brains. Hidden Programs Drive Actions, And The Left Hemisphere Makes Justifications. This Idea Of Retrospective Storytelling Suggests That We Come To Know Our Own Attitudes And Emotions, At Least Partially, By Inferring Them From Observations Of Our Own Behavior.

As We Develop Better Technologies For Probing The Brain, We Detect More Problems.
