“The analogy between the mind and a computer fails for many reasons. The brain is constructed by principles that assure diversity and degeneracy. Unlike a computer, it has no replicative memory. It is historical and value driven. It forms categories by internal criteria and by constraints acting at many scales, not by means of a syntactically constructed program. The world with which the brain interacts is not unequivocally made up of classical categories.” WorldMindMeanMadeReasonFormValuesMemoriesActingBrainPrinciplesFailingDiversityComputerProgramHistoricalDrivenScalesInternalsCategoriesCriteriaConstraintsAnalogies Author:Gerald Edelman
“Just consider the CIA and its effort to suppress the Senate's review of its torture program. Take in the fact that we live in a country that a) legalized torture and b) where no one was ever held to account for it, and now the government's internal look at what happened is being suppressed by the CIA. That's a frightening landscape to be in.” LooksCountryFactsGovernmentEffortHappenedProgramAccountsLandscapeTortureInternalsReviewsSenateFrighteningCia Author:Laura Poitras
“At the core of One Spirit Medicine is the idea that how we perceive the world 'out there' is a projection of internal maps that shape our beliefs and guide how we think, feel and behave. These maps are the unconscious programs that drive our experience of life and the state of our health. The key to optimum health is to upgrade these unconscious maps and limiting beliefs that have been driving us to a toxic lifestyle and relationships.” ThinkingWorldFeelsHas BeensIdeasStatesSpiritBeliefKeysShapesProgramMedicineGuidesDrivingCoreLifestylePerceiveBehaveUnconsciousInternalsMapsToxicProjectionLimiting BeliefsOptimum Author:Alberto Villoldo
“We’re no longer in the days where every program is super well crafted.

“The emotion is the execution of a very complex program of actions. Some actions that are actually movements, like movement that you can do, change your face for example, in fear, or movements that are internal, that happen in your heart or in your gut, and movements that are actually not muscular movements, but rather, releases of molecules.” HeartHappensActionFacesCan DoEmotionExampleMovementProgramComplexesReleaseGutsInternalsYour FaceExecutionMolecules Author:Antonio Damasio
