"We must be clear that when it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry. The poet, too, is not nearly so concerned with describing facts as with creating images and establishing mental connections. Every sentence I utter must be understood not as an affirmation, but as a question" (Niels Bohr)

I don't know why when Faggin talks about free will, he makes me remember when Dostoevskij wrote : “I agree that two times two makes four is an excellent thing; but if we are dispensing praise, then two times two makes five is sometimes a most charming little thing as well.”

If you try to copy something you can't completely understand or comprehend. It will likely lead to corruption.

It would be extremely valuable for Essentia to interview together Federico Faggin with Dr Tony Nader a neuro scientist who heads the transcendental meditation - as a meditator for 38 years this insight describes the meditation experience of the void , the unified quantum state of consciousness

If consciousness survives after death, then technically, we’re all just waiting for the next phase. Wild thought.

something tells me that my life will have more purpose if I listen to this many times to understand it better ..
