      Insights from Chapter 1

      #1

      The brain is a machine, and scientists have discovered that every aspect of human consciousness can be explained by the brain.

      #2

      We can never know for sure whether a machine could ever experience love, joy, or happiness. But we can be fairly certain that a machine could never experience the complex emotions we experience as humans.

      #3

      An advanced understanding of the mind may allow us to perfectly simulate the human brain through digital computers and upload our consciousness to the cloud.

      #4

      The ability of the brain to change and adapt is called neuroplasticity. It is a fact that the brain can and does change throughout our lives.

      The human mind is inherently disordered. To experience true psychological health, we must strive to exceed the current normal range of psychological health.

      #6

      #7
