Quote of the Day:
Some believe consciousness is entirely physical, others that there is some nonphysical component, some kind of soul. All seem sure. Not me. Trained in brain research, I lean toward the physical. Living as a sentient being, I lean away. Consciousness is a deep probe of the mystery of existence.
Robert Lawrence Kuhn
