Recent
finding in the Journal of Neurological Sciences (1)
that Descartes' brain had an unusual bulge in the frontal cortex is further
proof that humans with unusual developments in the organ they carry on their
shoulders, move societies. Less than a hundred individuals with such
deformities in the last two thousand years, including Albert Einstein,
substantially contributed to most knowledge accumulated by humans. This implies
that knowledge is a result of unusual patterns in the brain and humans in
general are not really designed to go a lot further than the basic attributes
in their objective function, largely driven by food and reproduction.
Understanding their limitations is a leap forward
for humans as their forward momentum depends largely on the arrival of the
next genius. There has not been a positive sign in the last hundred years
as they move technology forward at the destruction of the delicate greenhouse
they have been afforded. As they travel to nearby planets, extend life
incrementally and double computing power every 18 months, they have to realize
that none of these have any fundamental impact on knowledge. For that, humans
still require a major deformity in the brain of one of the billions of
specimens they seem to have replicated into.As indicated in the article (1) " It is not enough to have a good mind, the main thing is to use it well."
