It's not even known how many kinds of cells there are in the brain. If you were looking for a periodic table of the brain, there is no such thing. I really like to think of the brain as a computer.

One of the things that got me transitioning from physical science to brain science was asking, Why do we understand so much about the universe?

I spend a lot of time going over old conversation summaries. A lot of the old ones are about ideas that ended in failure, the project didn't work. But hey, you know what? That was five years ago, and now computers are faster, or some new information has come along, the world is different. So we're able to reboot the project.

We don't have a "consciousness meter" that'll tell us exactly how conscious something is. I think we might get there eventually.

Life is an adventure - Savor every instant!

The skill-providers want to have more impact and solve problems; the problem people want new tools to get their problems solved.

Maybe we'll understand more about how the universe came to be, and what forces drove it in the early days and which forces drive it now.
