The Sword in the Hat and the Dragon in the Firebox
Dr. pitterson had a dream in which he was trying to defeat the dragon that is puffing out new monsters like mad and so I asked him what do you think you could do about that? His eyes lit up now because he kind of already knew what to do but there's more pre-existent brain structure than first thought. He found something else interesting about the brain recently too in a book by Ray Kurtzweil called How To Build A Mind. The old idea with the cortex basically was that cortex was full of a bunch of neurons and then when one neuron and another fired at the same time they would wire together.
