Re: Cormac Article on Kekulé Problem

Interesting, too. I leapt immediately to the early written languages, with
easiest examples being Egyptian and Aztec. The ourobos, of the benzene
dream is among the most ancient symbols used by humans. And so on. Human
consciousness is immensely complex. Studying the available information on
neuroscience is dizzying, endlessly fascinating. As one neuroscientist put
it, we now know enough about the human brain to say definitively that we
know almost nothing about it. The layering of consciousness is puzzling at
every level. Trees communicate at a chemical level, and their
communications can travel through a forest faster than men can cut it down.
It's easy to make the leap to thinking of existence itself as an attempt at
expression on the grandest scale. Our own subjective communication is
complex enough to leave every psychologist on the planet baffled. Great
article. Thanks, for the wake-up, Rich!
