Consciousness

I am incredibly busy at the moment . . . with school work . . . plus I'm trying to learn html. Apparently my blog isn't html valid or something. I really don't know anything about that, but I think it's why my technorati account is not updating :( Oh well, I'm going to try to figure some of this stuff out, so there may be some formatting issues within the next couple days and I might be slacking on the posts . . . but I expect it all to go back to normal soon.

In the meantime, check out this essay that Steven Pinker wrote in Time. It is about the science of consciousness and about how myths of consciousness (the ghost in the machine, the concept of I, etc.) are being dispelled by researchers in cognitive neuroscience.
