Know Thyself: inscription in the Apollo Temple at Delphi
Western thoughts--Creation: nothingness to
somethingness: need for objectivity and rationalism
The breakaway and aliention from the animal kingdom
and nature when man knows himself
From Know Thyself to selfconsciousness to
rationality and the failure of social Darwinism
Oriental thoughts: union of man and
nature---->loss of self-conciousness---->irrationalism;
somethingness to nothingness---->no need for objectivity and
rationalism
Rationalism: deduction VS intuition &
induction----> loss of creativity
From Calvinism and Lutheranism to Humanism:
"Hate thyself" to "love thyself", development of
technologies, the second "creation" and self-confidence?
Natural evolution and the structure of the human brain
Three layers / short-term memory /long-term
memory and their melocular underpinning

Church-Turing thesis and
computability
Study of consciousness
The bridge between
the two cultures as observed by CP Snow:
The culture of the arts and humanities and the culture of sciences
Conciousness and
the bottom-up/top-down models
The Philosophy of complex dynamic systems
interactions:
time scales
length scales
Emergence
Predictability, repeatability, determinism, complexity and
computability
The Interaction of the brain and the mind
Dualism and monism : the
origins of dualism and what is wrong.
Pattern & structures
& emergence: Morphology and physical properties
fMRI and PET scans: what
they can do and can not do
Photon-Pigment
interaction in Retina
Signal propagation and
Ion flow through protein gates
Memory
and Protein structures: NMDA receptor-Magnesium/Calcium Ion-Calmodulin
interactions
The
interactions within the mind
The
mind is physical!- the physical mechanisms of the mind: memory,
learning and thinking
The human mind's exponential
growth in
complexity: dynamic state and self growth
The interactions of the mind and the body
hunger, thirst and sexual
appetite--feelings--->emotions--> consciousness---->actions
Evolution of minds
Learning and Knowledge creation: Theory= knowledge creation by
conjectures and refutations consciously and unconsciously
Dogmatic learning and critical leaning
Evolution as a learning /knowledge creation process
Consciousness and mental illnesses /loss of consciousness
Interactions of minds:
Media:
symbols & language

Mind, Science and God
Technology at
exponential rate
Intelligence at
exponential rate:
from the big bang to the formation of planets to the emergence of human
intelligence to computational intelligence: evolution revisited
When computational
intelligence is superior to the human mind
biological bodies are
replaced by artificial ones as a fashion statement
bionics
computational
intelligence replaces the human mind as a result of the Darwinian
evolution
