Ian,
I think your website is great. I love new ideas, and you bring together
some great ones. It's very cool. I also am fascinated by the brain. 'Zen
and the Brain' is great. Another book I liked was, 'The Mind & The Brain,
by Jeffrey M. Schwartz and Sharon Begley. Jeffrey Schwartz is also a
Buddhist. It was a very, very interesting book. I bet you'd like it.
The brain is such a neat thing. In 1998 I spent 6 weeks in Italy studying
art. I was with a class of Americans at the University of Urbino. Now I
don't speak Italian. I don't speak any other language (to my shame), and
sometimes have great difficulty with English. I heard plenty of Italian
spoken, but never understood more than a few words. But after a month, my
English took on a flavor of Italian syntax. It was an unconscious thing,
and very funny to hear myself. I've always wondered what my brain was
doing with this language thing. Oh yes, the mind is a very amazing thing.
