EPIC 2014 (8 min clip, every blogger needs to see this), Richard Feynman playing bongo drums (youtube clip), Are we training too many scientists? (article), NIH neuroscience webcasts, Phidgets, Inc. (lego for your USB port:), Future Scanner, Bill Gates & Steve Jobs interview (first of 10 youtube clips, really good stuff)
Also, am I right in assuming that the reason the US still resists limits on greenhouse emission isn't just greed, but also a belief that it's a bad idea to halt economical/technological progress for the sake of reductions in greenhouse emissions that won't have much of an effect anyway. They want us to put our faith, money and effort into finding alternative, super-science solutions? Can we stop throwing shit on the US for a day or two and discuss what this option really means?

Though I'm not really that up-to-date with what's going on here, couldn't they start making steps towards reducing emissions AND look into super-science solutions?
ps.
a recommended Philosopher..?!
Very touching, I'll have to put some stuff up worth looking at, or at least some more stuff..
pps. apropos John's email, are you on for next weekend?
ppps. I love the pithy sentences on consciousness, do you have anything longer that you've been working on?
as i understand it cutting greenhouse emissions is REALLY pricy, especially for the US, and will/would slow down the pace of progress in science, hence maybe preventing us from discovering the secrets of fusion power & co.
re pps: aaa, super bad timing, i'm in sweden 20th-29th. what about new years? (didn't get email btw)
re ppps: not yet, got half a page more on dopamine but it's still pretty cold. that's the problem with identity-theses, the neuroscience they rely on may be true but as long as it's cold and sterile people will feel an aversion to getting intimate/subjective about it. i think if you want to replace folk psychology with neuroscience you have to heat it up first.
