The Matter of the Mind

[nfotxn]

From cbc.ca:

Today's science can explain everything from the whirl of galaxies to the dance of subatomic particles. Only recently have scientists turned their attention inward to investigate the deepest mystery of all: the puzzle of human consciousness. How exactly does the brain --three pounds of soggy gray matter -- give rise to thought, the mind? Dan Falk speaks with neuroscientists, psychologists, physicists, and philosophers as they search for the link between matter and mind.

I was listening to Ideas on CBC Radio 1 tonight at dinner and was being absolutely fascinated by the quaity of the program. Different perspectives were presented from great minds, debated and made digestable to a somebody who isn't exactly [sic] no scientologist. And I thought to myself "Damn, what the fuck would I be doing if we didn't have the CBC?"

I guess the same could go for PBS (damn their viewership pledge telethons!) in the states.
