Philosophy Wire: Inorganic materials. Brain. Computing. Empty cosmos.

Scientists and engineers discovered of a materials-based mimic for the neural signals responsible for transmitting information within the human brain. [1] Mimicking the brain. To transmit signals. Meaningless signals in a meaningless cosmos. And at the end the signals will be understood. By something which is not. And in an empty cosmos. You will be full again. And the signals will go away. For who do you think sent them anyway? Could anyone else listen to what you have to say?

Philosophy Wire: Self-healing. For anything but humans… [The importance of faith]

Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2017-06-01]: Scientists have now introduced thin, flexible, lithium ion batteries with self-healing properties that even after completely breaking apart, can grow back together without significant impact on its electrochemical properties. [1] Our dogmatism is now so obvious and provocative… Self-healing batteries. An obvious progress for science. Self-healing humans. Absurd for modern science. Today’s dogmas put more faith in materials than in ourselves, which modern materialistic medicine does not accept it exists anyway. We have lost the faith in our souls. And we have become soulless. Literally.

PS. And yes, no matter how much you believe in batteries, they will someday stop working…

Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2014-02-17]: Materials doing "math" with light inside them! [1] What is Is. What you interpret, is just that: What you interpret! You can see light, particles, waves, calculations, timespace or strings. Or you can see Santa as well. You are the Plato of your life!
