“The American psychologist Julian Jaynes, in a controversial study on the origin of consciousness, argued that the bicameral mind - in which one of the hemispheres becomes specialized in silent reading - is a late development in humankind's evolution, and that the process by which this function develops is still changing.” MindStillsReadingProcessConsciousnessStudyDevelopmentEvolutionLateFunctionSilentHumankindControversialPsychologistHemisphere Author:Alberto Manguel
“Blindsight is excellent. It's state-of-the-art science fiction: smart, dark and it grabs you by the throat from page one. Like a C J Cherryh book it makes you feel the danger of the hostile environment (or lack of one) out there. And it plays with some fascinating possibilities in human development, and some disconcerting ideas about human consciousness. What else can I say? Thanks for giving me the privilege of reading this.” GivingFeelsHumansArtBookIdeasStatesPlayReadingDarkConsciousnessFictionEnvironmentDangerPossibilityDevelopmentPagesSmartScience FictionPrivilegeThanksExcellentFascinatingThroatHostileHuman DevelopmentHuman ConsciousnessHostile Environment Author:Neal Asher
“When you have so many projects to nurture, one or two get real excited and raise their hands. The reaction from it tells when it's time and where to go.

“While the scientist, on the one hand, is concerned with giving a faithful description of facts, on the other, he has the equally important task of construing them in relation to some explanatory conjecture. Similarly the historian has a double duty: both of reporting the past as nearly as possible as it passed or was lived through by men at the time (without doctoring up events to fit later developments or some more "enlightened reading" of them); and second, of interpreting their import in the light of a present hypothesis.” MenGivingImportantFactsHandsLightPastScienceReadingHistoryEventsDutyDevelopmentFitConcernedTasksScientistRelationFaithfulDescriptionEnlightenedHistorianHypothesisImportsInterpretingConjectureDoctoring Book:The judgment of history Source: The judgment of history

“I had been doing private readings for ten years when my guides said, "We want you to reach more people." Then I said "How?" They said, "You're going to write a book."

“The development and deployment of drones and Cruise missiles involves the continuing development of the vision machine. Research on Cruise missiles is intrinsically linked to the development of vision machines. The aim, of course, is not only to give vision to a machine but, as in the case of the Cruise missiles that were aimed at Leningrad and Moscow, also to enable a machine to deploy radar readings and pre-programmed maps as it follows its course towards its target.” GivingCoursesReadingVisionCasesDevelopmentResearchMachinesAimMapsTargetContinuingLinkedMissilesCruiseRadarDronesMoscowDeploymentLeningrad Author:Paul Virilio

“I had hundreds of books under my skin already. Not selected reading, all of it. Some of it could be called trashy. I had been through Nick Carter, Horatio Alger, Bertha M. Clay and the whole slew of dime novelists in addition to some really constructive reading. I do not regret the trash. It has harmed me in no way. It was a help, because acquiring the reading habit early is the important thing.
