Two neuroscientists reveal why consciousness exists and how it works by examining eighteen increasingly intelligent minds, from microbes to humankind—and beyond.
Why do you exist? How did atoms and molecules transform into sentient creatures that experience longing, regret, compassion, and even marvel at their own existence? What does it truly mean to have a mind—to think? Science has offered few answers to these existential questions until now.
Journey of the Mind is the first book to offer a unified account of the mind that explains how consciousness, language, self-awareness, and civilization arose incrementally out of chaos. The journey begins three billion years ago with the emergence of the universe’s simplest possible mind. From there, the book explores the nanoscopic archaeon, whose thinking machinery consists of a handful of molecules, then advances through amoebas, worms, frogs, birds, monkeys, and humans, explaining what each “new” mind could do that previous minds could not. Though they admire the triumph of human consciousness, Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam argue that humans are hardly the most sophisticated minds on the planet. The same physical principles that produce human self-awareness are leading cities and nation-states to develop “superminds,” and perhaps planting the seeds for even higher forms of consciousness.
Written in lively, accessible language accompanied by vivid illustrations, Journey of the Mind is a mind-bending work of popular science, the first general book to share the cutting-edge mathematical basis for consciousness, language, and the self. It shows how a “unified theory of the mind” can explain the mind’s greatest mysteries—and offer clues about the ultimate fate of all minds in the universe.

Right now I consider Panspermia to be the least outrageous theory concerning the origin of life and consciousness on our planet. Not that it solves the ultimate riddle of the origin of life, but at least it expands the time window for biological order to have evolved out chaos.

evolution out of chaos is an absurdity. How many billions of years will it take for an encyclopedia to form in an empty room? There is your answer, but atheism-communism cannot handle a universal creator/intelligence.

privateero: may I see a proof of your universal creator/intelligence please?
By the way, an encyclopedia doesn’t form in an empty room by itself of course, but is formed by intelligent people who are the result of hundreds of millions, or maybe billions of years of earthly evolution. Also, one can be an atheist without subscribing to any ideology, such as communism. Can you handle that?

Thank you WangLaoshi2020.

frugalite07: The proof is you wanting to see the proof, but only if you really want to see it.
