I believe the human mind is a very fallible thing, but it's the only thing that I can really know, I guess.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The human brain is probably one of the most complex single objects on the face of the earth; I think it is, quite honestly.
Who knows, the mind has the key to all things besides.
I think the human mind is fascinating. I love figuring out why people are doing what they do.
Eventually, I believe, current attempts to understand the mind by analogy with man-made computers that can perform superbly some of the same external tasks as conscious beings will be recognized as a gigantic waste of time.
One of the things I believe in is a sense of human nature.
What a terrible thing to have lost one's mind. Or not to have a mind at all. How true that is.
The brain is the only kind of object capable of understanding that the cosmos is even there, or why there are infinitely many prime numbers, or that apples fall because of the curvature of space-time, or that obeying its own inborn instincts can be morally wrong, or that it itself exists.
The human being is a strange mixture of blind instinct, on one hand, and conscience, on the other.
The mind that has not been developed or trained is very scattered. That's the normal state of affairs, but it leaves us out of touch with a great deal in life, including our bodies.
I don't know about you, but I find it exhilarating to see how vague psychological notions evaporate and give rise to a physical, mechanistic understanding of the mind, even if it's the mind of the fly.
