Neural Correlates of Consciousness - The MIT Press
Philosophers have, for thousands of years, from Socrates, to Bertrand Russel, to "name your favorite" debated and journaled "consciousness" of humans and machine. Can physical states of the human brain, with its many folds, generate epistomology=my fav subject. Speculation on my part-of my brain, I know which not.
for Hamlet, it was "to be or not to be" that was the question, his indecision led him to a death, not quite honorable, yet the question was never answered. If he were here in body, "fat and scant of breath" with the requisite metabolic syndrome and a body mass of 30+, could or should he read this book. Maybe.

His poetry is notable for its use of formal language, as well as insights on topics of life using spiritual terms. Gibran's best-known work is The Prophet, a book composed of twenty-six poetic essays. The book became especially popular during the 1960s with the American counterculture and New Age movements. Since it was first published in 1923, The Prophet has never been out of print. Having been translated into more than twenty languages, it was one of the bestselling books of the twentieth century in the United States.
One of his most notable lines of poetry in the English-speaking world is from "Sand and Foam" (1926), which reads : "Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it so that the other half may reach you". This was plagiarised by John Lennon and placed, though in a slightly altered form, into the song Julia from The Beatles' 1968 album The Beatles (a.k.a. The White Album).</span> <span property="dc:type" content="Text"> </object> <div style="margin: 6px auto 3px auto; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none; display: block;"> <a href="http://www.scribd.com/upload" style="text-decoration: underline;">Publish at Scribd</a> or <a href="http://www.scribd.com/browse" style="text-decoration: underline;">explore</a> others: <a href="http://www.scribd.com/explore/Books/Fiction" style="text-decoration: underline;">Fiction</a> <a href="http://www.scribd.com/explore/Books/" style="text-decoration: underline;">Books</a> <a href="http://www.scribd.com/tag/love" style="text-decoration: underline;">love</a> <a href="http://www.scribd.com/tag/poetry" style="text-decoration: underline;">poetry</a> </div>
Susan Boyle's former vocal coach has warned the showbiz publicity machine could destroy the singer's career as fans, cybersquatters and big business cash in on her newfound fame.
The 48-year-old's stirring performance of I Dreamed A Dream on Britain's Got Talent TV show has clocked up more than 75 million views on video sharing website YouTube.
A 1999 charity album on which Boyle sings Cry Me A River has attracted bids of up to $2500 on eBay.

This would make an art lover cry. The damgage, divestation, the heartbreak of the hours of love and work that went into these pieces of irreplacable works. Sad.
