I think the brain is essentially a computer and consciousness is like a computer program. It will cease to run when the computer is turned off. Theoretically it could be re-created on a neural network but that would be very difficult as it would require all one's memories.

No one can resist the idea of a crippled genius.

I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

Although September 11 was horrible it didn't threaten the survival of the human race like nuclear weapons do.

Life would be tragic if it weren't funny.

Not only does God play dice but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

Obviously because of my disability I need assistance. But I have always tried to overcome the limitations of my condition and lead as full a life as possible. I have traveled the world from the Antarctic to zero gravity.
