Quote:

"As one learns more about neuroscience and those who study it, there is almost a sense of Greek tragedy -- an element of hubris is always lurking about. What bravado to study something so complex and so ... well ... incomprehensible! What chutzpah to talk confidently about what we know in spite of the vastness of our ignorance! In recent years, a seemingly overt expression of this attitude has surfaced in outrageous book titles. Have the authors of "How the Mind Works" or "Consciousness Explained" totally lost touch with reality? I prefer to think that these titles are tongue-in-cheek and not to be taken too seriously. Substantial works that would merit such titles are probably beyond the reach of our lifetimes..."
