Mind At Play

Here is a great discussion at a site I just discovered that will probably destroy media discussion shows eventually. So much smarter and more personal and free ranging — rough edges and all, this is a great idea.

The linked wonderful discussion is between John Horgan (Stevens Center for Science Writings, JohnHorgan.org, etc.) and David Chalmers (Australian National University's Center for Consciousness, The Conscious Mind, etc.) Horgan is the mind-anchor, Chalmers the dreamer-wizard.

In one section The Matrix is discussed as an exploration of the neural code as software that, in the movie, had been cracked and used against humans.

Chalmers: “All morality is based in consciousness.”
