Great talk
Quoted: TED Talks Legendary physicis David Deutschback-burners the work for which he's best known -- quantum physics, quantum computing, the many-worlds theory -- to discuss a more basic topic: how to think about our species significance in the universe. Far from being simply "chemical scum," we have the ability to gain knowledge, the importance of which he illustrates in spectacular manner. As a result, he says, we are always equipped to solve problems (including global warming). The brain contains the tools we need: <strong>knowledge, reason and creativity</strong>. It's a thrilling, and profoundly optimistic argument.

My latest blog entry...
1 FaverViewed: 3 TimesQuoted: It hit me like a ton of bricks today - this will be my first time voting in Washington State elections. So, it seems problematic that I know more about Gov. Corzine's record in New Jersey or Mayor Bloomberg's attempt to seek a third term in New York than I do about Gregoire and Rossi.

He talks very clearly. It's relatively easy to listen accurately what he's saying, but not easy to really understant, though.
