Quotes by Paul Broks (?)

“From a neuroscience perspective we are all divided and discontinuous. The mental processes underlying our sense of self-- feelings, thoughts, memories-- are scattered through different zones of the brain. There is no special point of convergence. No cockpit of the soul. No soul-pilot. They come together in a work of fiction. A human being is a story-telling machine. The self is a story.”
― Paul Broks, Into the Silent Land: Travels in Neuropsychology

“Cosmology and neuropsychology have absurdity in common. The raw facts are strange beyond imagination.”

“Our ethics and systems of justice, our entire moral order, are founded on the notion of society as a collective of individual selves-- autonomous, introspective, accountable agents. If this self-reflective, moral agent is revealed to be illusory, what then?”
― Paul Broks, Into the Silent Land: Travels in Neuropsychology
