Я закончила читать Blindsight и мой мозг пытается понять аргументы за и против жанра "Научная фантастика"

Ответственное включение науки в книгу мне нравится.
Но интересно, что в итоге получается.
Теперь у моего мозга есть нейрон "Лица Чернова". Поможет ли мне он в жизни? Кто знает.
В конце книги есть ссылки. И там упомянуты другие книги на тему осознанности. Запишем, почитаем.

Записки и цитаты:



92: My augments strained to rotate the information; my meaty half-brain struggled to understand the bottom line
267: Scramblers are the honeycomb.
228: Albert Einstein said, "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it."
353: U DISLKE ORDRS FRM MCHNES. HAPPIER THS WAY.'
380: Compared to nonconscious processing, self-awareness is slow and expensive(...)By way of comparison, consider the complex, lightning-fast calculations of savantes; those abilities are noncognitive,109 and they owe their superfunctionality not to any overarching integration of mental processes but to relative neurological fragmentation(Anonymous, 2004. Autism: making the connection. Economist, 372(8387): 66.). Even if sentient and nonsentient processes were equally efficient, the conscious awareness of visceral stimuli—by its very nature—distracts the individual from other threats and opportunities in its environment
381: sentience(...)isn't more trouble than it's worth. (...) On the other hand, the dodoes and the Steller sea cows could have used exactly the same argument to prove their own superiority, a thousand years ago: If we’re so unfit, why haven’t we gone extinct? Why? Because natural selection takes time, and luck plays a role. The game isn’t over. The game is never over; and so, neither can there be any winners. There are only those who haven’t yet lost.
332: You cannot prevent and prepare for war at the same time - Albert Einstein
382:
>On Making the Right Choice: The Deliberation-Without-Attention Effect>The conscious mind just can't handle as many variables.
"Unconscious mind it better at making complex decisions than is the conscious mind"
"At some point in our evolution, we started to make decisions consciously, and we are not very good at it."

Graddol: Single language constrains the ways we view the world
384: Chernoff faces

“Every concert pianist knows that the surest way to ruin a performance is to be aware of what the fingers are doing. Every dancer and acrobat knows enough to let the mind go, let the body run itself. Every driver of a manual vehicle arrives at destinations with no recollection of the stops and turns and roads traveled in getting there. You are all sleepwalkers, whether climbing creative peaks or slogging through some mundane routine for the thousandth time. You are all sleepwalkers.”
