OK now here’s a real resonse to “Another way to feel real small”. I’ve heard there are gold records on the Hubble, in case aliens have a turn table. They’ve put mostly classical music on it (good move Nasa, I’d rather aliens know us for Mozart than Mariah). But there is one rock tune out there, and it’s Chuck Berry. He’s so infectious, that Chuck Berry.

Long term memory or short term memory? Would you rather know who you are, or where you are?
I recently finished reading a book called “The Head Trip”, by Jeff Warren, a Toronto based thinker. It is quite a great read, I highly recomend it. Jeff takes a personal voyage through the scientific states of consciousness ( or “the wheel of consciousness”) and tries to obtain them all in a personal, but scientific method. A large part of his voyage is his quest for the lucid dream (which seems to be one of the hardest and most fascinating). The quote of the brain slicing patient makes (“like waking in a dream…everyday alone in itself”) reminded me of Laberge and Llinas’ report where they proved, “wakefullness and dreaming are largely equivilant states.” Jeff explores memory within sleep and the disfranchised….
Well, I think you should just read it. I’m going to again.
