Dan Dennett TEDTalks

Dan Dennett:
Can we know our own minds?

"What you are–what each of us is–is an assemblage of roughly a trillion cells, of thousands of different sorts. Most of these cells are “daughters” of the egg and sperm cell whose union started you, but each cell is a mindless mechanism, a largely autonomous micro-robot, no more conscious than a bacterium, and not a single one of the cells that compose you knows who you are, or cares." We Earth Neurons

Ants, terrorism, and the awesome power of memes
