Great essay about MSF, by the way. Perhaps the young (Yale?) researcher should inquire with Intellectual Ventures. I’m sure he has. That’s all for now. Thank you for the thought-provoking words and insight.

¡So much complex problem!

The Reallity (if it exists, and here we aproach to philosophy), it can’t been hardly understood without first know how our huamn brains works. And the part of psychology that deals more scientifically how our brain works is neuroscience. Can we reallymake thoughtful decisions based on fact?
NO!

“Our decisions are based on illusions and false memories”

“By the time you’re aware of your thinking, your brain has already executed. You see, all mental processes, including the feeling of having a mind and I, are the result of your brain.”

Interview Michael S. Gazzaniga, father of cognitive neuroscience, in “La Contra” of prestigious spanish newspaper “La Vanguardia” (Spanish Language):

Are we Gods or Robots? The conclusions of this interview are impressive!

Fortunately, the power of public education to destroy human ingenuity is limited, and many people are up to the task of solving complex problems.

The obstacle we face is entirely social. We don’t have a “technology” of getting along with each other. Solving that, I’m afraid, is probably impossible.

But let’s keep at it.
