Interesting, but I have to say I enjoyed Kaku's The Future of Humanity a lot more. This wasn't quite as engaging.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing book for people who arent afraid of long bokks and science.
P.s. bonus for fan fiction lovers

2016, Book 5 "Finally, there is one impact of reverse engineering the brain that is rarely discussed but is on many people's minds: immortality. If consciousness can be transferred into a computer, does that mean we don't have to die?"

Basically, our brains and minds are super fascinating and with continuous advances in science they will get more and more fascinating all the time. I really love Kaku's ability to explain scientific facts in a way that helps laypeople understand them without ever seeming condescending. And when science comes up with the ability to download memories, I want one of a Nirvana concert since I never got to go 😁 4/5 ⭐️

TheWellReadOwl His enthusiasm for science is so infectious. Love when he's on tv. 9y

In the cat's viewpoint, you are a servant of some sort, trained to give it food several times a day, and rubbing its scent on you warns other cats to stay away from this servant.

[I mean...we all know it's true.]

If a Martian were to visit a supermarket checkout line and view the huge display of gossip magazines, it might conclude that gossip is the main activity of humans. This observation would not be far off.

Now playing. I find the mind fascinating (I did study psychology and biology after all), and love hearing about futurist ideas on how our technology involving our brain could evolve.
