Steven Shapin · Through the Trapdoor: Roger Penrose’s Puzzles Stephen Hawking may have been a genius, but ‘Roger Penrose’s insights seem to stem from some superhuman life-form...

The @lrb.co.uk review of a Roger Penrose biography gives the guy less than his full due because some of his views don't align with scientific orthodoxy. Too bad - The Emperor's New Mind is a classic must read.

Is Consciousness Everywhere? Experience is in unexpected places, including in all animals, large and small, and perhaps even in brute matter itself.

The idea that consciousness is a universal phenomenon, and not just limited to human beings, is the key to a truly science-based world view.

Americans Haven’t Found a Satisfying Alternative to Religion Is it any wonder the country is revisiting faith?

It can be scientifically proven that human-to-human interaction will always offer something more than AI – this distinction in turn opens the door for a radical investment in human infrastructure, a hybrid GI Bill/Domestic Peace Corps.
