Stranger
I was reading, reading, reading. I couldn't stop myself. Dean Koontz's (Strangers) "Schwarzer Mond" kept me awake. The novel had such a vivid effect on me that every word stayed with me. I received the impression that I was a character in this book. I was completely absorbed by the book and its language.

Philosophical Foundations of Neuroscience — Eighteen Years Later
Authors preface: I first published this review on Vocal two years ago, and before that I had published a version on Medium. With each republication I have updated or revised various sections. Thought it made sense to resurrect it one more time for a Vocal Book Club Challenge to "write about a book that changed you." This particular book, PFoN, I happen to believe, is one of the most important ever written and, it has impacted my own thinking on a huge range of topics very deeply. At the time this was written I was reading tons and tons about neuroscience. Specifically at this time I had recently completed reading a number of works by Patricia Churchland Smith, a neuroscientist/philosopher of great renown. I found her views disturbing and her positions misguided. She is the queen of the mereological fallacy (see below for what this is) often using the brain and the person interchangeably as she views them as one and the same. She also believes that if we fully understood everything about how the brain works, we could recreate particular states of consciousness. She is the ultimate hard core reductionist and views consciousness as nothing more than a particular series of electro-chemical reactions in the brain which, like particular states of consciousness, we could replicate artificially if we fully understood. No body would be required for this miraculous achievement. My guess is the AI crowd is a big fan of her work, myself, not so much. In any event, Dr. Churchland-Smith is a frequent target of Bennet and Hacker's logical breakdowns of various neuroscientific studies and claims about the brain and consciousness, which they dissect and show to be in error point by point.

Impacts of War in Sudan
The war in Sudan has faded out of the news, and the country is on the brink of collapse. The fighting began in mid-April, and it continues to spread. There is always the sound of a fire somewhere, and the sound of an artillery shell. The war has not spared anyone, and the level and speed of death and destruction in Sudan is unprecedented. Here are 5 things you need to know about the war in Sudan: 1. Who is fighting in Sudan? General Abdel Fatah Al-Braham is the head of Sudan's armed forces, and General Muhammad Hamdan, also known as Dagalo, also known as Hemeti, leads the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a powerful paramilitary group. In 2019, General Abraham and Hemeti were on the same.

Who's going to let you?
Howard Roark laughed. That is the first line of Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead: an iconic sentence in its own right, and for me, one that set off an internal Rube Goldberg machine, with that first sentence being the first ball slowly starting to roll. The journey itself transcends the book and will never be finished, but the question of my self-worth, and the fact of my literal space on earth, took on deep hold that day, and has not let up since.
