ANNOTATION:
I Believe...

I believe that the meaning of life is to live mellow, let it all just flow, to get the current that you are looking for. You have to lie flat, smell the flowers and travel through your fantasys and problems. You must work out these problems within yourself, and you must go with what comes at you. If the Gods wanted us to know the meaning of life, they would have given us a sign to tell us, man. Calm down and go mellow, go with the flow and feel the vibes. Exhale the bad vibes and inhale the good ones. Take a trip on the wild side, we're all children of Mother Nature. So stay free, and dont let the corprate world take over.

REPLY: The Questions of the Origin ?

Dear All,

Looking at the beauty of our brain and our ability to think and perceive, I am puzzled by the fact that we cannot handle the question of the origins.

 We discover in our daily search - and search is important - that life takes various forms and speak various languagues. However, each time, we need to accept facts, or create some axioms or fundamentals or concepts as a basis for our reasoning. Never we can come close to understanding the question of the origin : Origin of Life, Origin of the Univers...

My question to our Cybernetics fellows is the following : can our brain, as a finite entity, encompass the question of origine or is there in our functioning modality a hurdle that we cannot surpass by our thinking but only, maybe, by our intuition ?

Also, I read somewhere that only a system of a given complexity can understand a system of less complexity. As such, a Human Being will never be able to understand how a Human Brain works. Is this a correct theory in Cybernetics ? 

Please let me know

Axel
