Vague objective


This blog may have posts about anything. I hope that with time it takes some shape. In fact, my recent thoughts are characterized for being about any subject. However they all tend to have a common basis: Human being as a slave of its own mind.

This simple concept, obvious to a lot of materialists, is very difficult to assimilate (by a human being), because of its own definition. However, since we make better and better models of the “real world” as time passes and science “advances”, it seams feasible that some day, not so far, we will have a model of our brain good enough such that human behavior can stop being considered a mechanism “too complex” to be explained and predicted.

The consequences of such a result are evident. Two important questions occurs to me right know: until which approximation level are we going to be able to arrive? What will happen once we have this knowledge?

More, later.
