Review # 1 was written on 2014-06-28 00:00:00 Ashley Blander An absolutely amazing and groundbreaking book about how our brain works. It's hard to read but very rewarding and exactly what I was looking for. Things like perception, memory and intuition are explained but it also becomes clear where the homo sapiens differ from animals. As an amateur I was a bit surprised how much neuroscience is interwoven with philosophy and how much care both sides take to draw a strict line. "Mind" and "Consciousness" are very emotional topics and it's hard to prove who is right. Obvious questions: - Does the theory stand the test of time? Are there related works? - How does it fit together with near-death experiences? Are we more than our brains? Only read the book if you are seriously interested in the topic. This is hard stuff.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-09-14 00:00:00 Ross Powers Maps of Maps is a brilliant approach towards Consciousness. The key questions remains what's the ultimate payload? if Not then what's the ultimate payload we can carry, Individually, Culturally, as living things and as time travelers. I think there is a satisfying answer only at the individual level, and if we all start looking for the answer there is a chance that we might find the universal answer, or at least know what is and what's not. the more what's not makes way for what is, but never at absolution. The Journey Continues.
