Every week I get letters from people worldwide who feel that the possibilian point of view represents their understanding better than either religion or neo-atheism.

We don't really understand most of what's happening in the cosmos. Is there any afterlife? Who knows.

The main thing known about secrets is that keeping them is unhealthy for the brain.

Modern neuroimaging is like asking an astronaut in the space shuttle to look out the window and judge how America is doing.

You´re not perceiving what's out there. You're perceiving whatever your brain tells you.

The deep secret of the brain is that not only the spinal cord but the entire central nervous system works this way: internally generated activity is modulated by sensory input. In this view, the difference between being awake and being asleep is merely that the data coming in from the eyes anchors the perception.

All life is no more than a match struck in the dark and blown out again.
