Love it when it snows

You forgot your favorite, Roger Penrose, a Nobel laureate if I’m not mistaken, unlike all those dudes nobody ever heard of, who describes consciousness as quantum mechanical in his book, The Emperor’s New Mind. But all those heavy math dudes pale in comparison to Rupert Sheldrake’s opus, The Presence of the Past. The best part is it can be applied to audio. If it can’t be applied to audio I actually don’t care, even if the guy’s IQ can’t be measured. We had a guy in high school whose IQ couldn’t be measured. Nobody ever heard from him again.

I like Sheldrake by the way very much....And I think that you are right about him...But Penrose ( I admire him tough) is not in the same level league that the 3 mathematicians I named... I can assure you that they are not unknown " dudes".... And thanks I will read the" presence of the past"... Oups! I read it in french when he was translated many years ago (25 years ago)....

By the way one of my best friend deceased now has a measured I.Q. too high to mention, nobody ever heard of him at all...( The psychatrist that measure him says that he was schizophrenic to my not complete amazement tough) I teach him chess and I was never able to beat him after the first takes... Even if I am not a great chess player that say something...:)

I prefer books more along the line of Stengers, Quantum Gods than new age gobbledygook like Chopra.

You are right Stengers is way more interesting than Chopra...Stengers by the way recently wrote a book about the great Alfred North Whitehead...I read it with pleasure...

There is a hiererachy level in complexity of information in all the books there is...

We must begins by books we can at least understand a little... And go on with more difficult books and subjects... This is an entire life history of reading and studying...

I like meditation and the links between subjects, concepts and perspectival view...

Something to see before dying...

A great Polish mathematician Sierpinski had inscribed on his tombstone : " here lied a traveler of the infinite"...
