A Stroke Leads a Brain Scientist to a New Spirituality - http://www.nytimes.com/2008...

"Today, she says, she is a new person, one who “can step into the consciousness of my right hemisphere” on command and be “one with all that is.” To her it is not faith, but science. She brings a deep personal understanding to something she long studied: that the two lobes of the brain have very different personalities. Generally, the left brain gives us context, ego, time, logic. The right brain gives us creativity and empathy. For most English-speakers, the left brain, which processes language, is dominant. Dr. Taylor’s insight is that it doesn’t have to be so. ... people debate whether she is truly enlightened or just physically damaged and confused. Even her own scientific brethren have wondered. “When I saw her on the TED video, at first I thought, Oh my god, is she losing it,” said Dr. Francine M. Benes, director of the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center, where Dr. Taylor once worked. Dr. Benes makes clear that she still thinks Dr. Taylor is an extraordinary and competent woman. “It is just that the mystical side was not apparent when she was at Harvard,” Dr. Benes said."

I got the chance to speak to her in person last year about her experience, spirituality and religion. Fascinating stuff.

Her video on TED is amazing - she really goes into detail about her stroke...wow!
- Susan Beebe
I always wonder how her experience compares with various drugs. Obviously her's was different in that it left permanent changes and almost killed her (instead of simply wearing off in a few hours), but was her actual moment of "enlightenment" as unique as it's made out to be?
- Paul Buchheit
I love her story - in WNYC's RadioLab she goes into a lot more detail than her talk at TED. Not sure about her book, though, haven't read that. no doubt it's even in more detail.

To me, Karen Armstrong is the more interesting one, having seen her on Book TV on Cspan
- heretic_twit
I feel a bit frustrated since her talk was all "you guys should turn off your left brains like me" but her website says little about how one would do this (yoga and meditation are mentioned)
- ௸ (k2g)
k2, yes, I think absolutely meditation can lead to this state. But it's not like flipping a switch. A sustained meditation practice will gradually develop the ability to turn off your left brain. Or you could try dropping acid.
- Laura Norvig
No matter what message she's conveying (without even trying to much), one must admit Ms. Taylor's experience was an extraordinary one, especially she was someone who had a chance and capability to analyze and retell it.

All programmers have a Socratic obsession with truth. The program doesn't run until you get it true.
Sherry BakerBrio, Mark Essel, umanesimo and 3 other people liked this
Does a program that runs incorrectly still represents truth?
- Amit Morson
This sounds like a performative model - what works - nothing to do with truth.
- tom matrullo
Amit, yes it represents a truth, but not the truth you wanted.
- Dave Winer
A program that does a divide-by-zero is not dealing with the truth. A program that accesses an array element that does not exist, is not truthful. A program that JSR's to a random bit of memory has lost its mind. Completely divorced from reality. A program caught in an infinite loop is never going to solve a problem.
- Dave Winer
I think, like everything else, truth is in the eyes of the beholder. Most programmers code to their version of the truth. When that truth isn't accepted universally by other programmers or users they are not happy.
- Kyle Shank
Given a more complex program, it's often not that easy to ascertain whether it's representing the truth anymore. Even if you take the narrow definition with divide-by-zero and other obvious errors. So I guess we settle for getting it sufficiently true - for subjective values of "sufficiently".
- Udo
Truth is "the universal witness" of what is and what works, so of course programming has to do with truth.
- Gus
Our designs begin internally and are produced by our efforts. The manifestation of our abstract imagination realized in a concrete manifestation is truth. Yes Dave, I heartily agree our code is our truth, but only the code inspired by our own interests and passions.

Interesting how Apple has always worked so hard going after the college/university student market, especially in the context of the way they dominate sales of computers over the $1000 mark now. It's not only targeting young minds, it's also targeting young minds that are disproportionately likely to be wealthier than average in their careers and invest in themselves.

The new Priuses are in. I got one of the first three that got into this dealer (Marin Toyota). I test drove it. Tons of geek toys. The lane keep assist is a trip (uses a camera to keep you in the lane and wakes you up with an alarm if you go out of bounds).

heads up, the batteries in that vehicle do a tremendous amount of harm to the environment when it comes time to dispose of them & the amount that you save at the pump is also going to end up going towards the cost of replacement batteries at a future date, you should have really purchased a Jetta TDI they get around the same milage and you have to deal with fewer downfalls & you can even run biodiesel in if you like

Solar panels FTW! My next car after my current lease is up with be a hybrid. I'm sure we'll make great strides in hybrid and battery technology in the next 2 years.

@Dave T Volkswagens are known to be horribly unreliable cars, while Toyotas (including the Prius) have proven reliability.
- Ben Kessler

The battery issue is such a myth. They know exactly how to recycle the batteries in to new ones.

Robert, you said the solar panel wasn't available on the top model? What model is it available on?
- Alex Knight
Alex: yes, improved definitely but it is no BMW.
- Robert Scoble
Well that much is obvious. As long as it's more interesting to drive. The old ones are pretty squishy.
- Alex Knight
A wind powered turbine that spins and creates reusable energy to power things in your car would be cool. Could mount it in front facing vents sucking in mass amounts of air when you drive.

Looks great. Now you just need to lower it and change the rims :P

Lowering the car will improve handling, but may affect fuel economy.

@Robert Yeah I know and I can see I'll have to buy one soon myself, I just feel Toyota has descended into a 'whitegoods' era of totally unexciting vehicles/appliances. Great at being just cars, but no passion/excitement or style for me. I quite liked the Supra, wouldn't mind one of those as a hybrid

Solar panels aren't part of the *advanced technology package*?

In 2020 -people will look back at the Prius like a bad 80's fad and laugh. Remember when? ha ha ha.. People drive the Prius because they want to be seen driving a Prius. Why did Honda switch from a civic hybrid to a Prius clone? Because they couldn't sell the civic because it didn't look like a hybrid. Nobody want to drive a hybrid if other people don't know they are driving a hybrid

@Ben Kessler: Strangely the only VW's with a bad rep are the ones in the US. VW and especially diesels have a amazing record in Europe. I have an Audi [same group/mechanics] A3 (diesel) that has only ever had standard servicing and it's coming up to 190,000 miles and still runs like a dream getting me 45+ mpg. Do US VW's get put together in the US? Maybe that's the difference.

I hate my '03 Jetta. I think it came from the Mexico plant. Trunk latch busted (fixed), arm rest compartment busted twice (didn't bother fixing it the second time). A/C borked (took my '92 Camry 10 years before the A/C died, Jetta was 6). But most of my frustration should be on the dealership 'cause they didn't fix an electrical problem until innumerable times of towing the car in due to battery drain. And congrats Robert! Nifty car and environmental conscious! Someday the Prius will look like a sportscar.
