More on the guy

I liked what Edelman had to say about Darwin robots, and how they took on certain tasks, and no two robots did anything the same, even though they were identical. It was pretty cool how they could play a really basic form of soccer as well.
I enjoyed his description of human perception and our memory. He seems to believe that every perception that we have is an active creation and every active memory that we have is really an active imagination, which is crazy to think. It seems like our perceptions create a picture of the world that is unique to each and every one of us, and the memories that we have are unique only to us as well. The mind is truly an amazing creation by God.
