Brains are kind of cool...

Submitted by mwechsler on Sun, 11/14/2010 - 6:08pm.

 This week I liked our discussion of brains much more than I liked our discussion of morality. One seemed actually practical, while the other seemed frustrating and actually harmfull. I believe that there is a "reality," but I also think that is definitely worth noting that we have no way of knowing what it would even mean for that reality to "exist" out side of our own perception of it. And we can never know, by definition, which, while somewhat infuriating, is also kind of cool. Like what Carolina said about always being able to know more but never

being able to know everything.
