Mind the brain

Posted by PJ under brain, mind, quote of the day, science
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“There’s an even drearier little secret that veteran scientists never let kids in on—that if they enter science, they have to check their minds at the door. The reason is that mind, as most people think about it, does not exist in conventional science, because the expressions of consciousness, such as choice, will, emotions, and even logic are said to be brain in disguise.”

—Dr. Larry Dossey, “Is the Universe Merely a Statistical Accident?” The Huffington Post, June 23, 2010

Change of mind

No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Even if because of your book people do get ready to reconsider something, they don’t know it. And if they do know it, they don’t admit it. And if they write me a letter saying, ‘Your novel has changed my life,’ I don’t believe them.”

—Amos Oz, interview, New York Times, December 13, 2003

Random quote of the day:

“You, your joys and your sorrows, your memories and free will, are in fact no more than the behavior of a vast assembly of nerve cells and their associated molecules. As Lewis Carroll’s Alice might have phrased it: ‘You’re nothing but a pack of neurons.'”
