Three pounds, ten watts and a cloud of dust

Illustration from Wired Magazine

Johnathan Lehrer is a contributor to Wired Magazine and the author of several books.  His topic in this great article from Edge.com revolves around the disconnect between the banal physicality of the brain and how utterly profound our conscious experience "feels" to us.  Brilliant read and catalyst for my minimalist description of our existence: "Three pounds, ten watts and a cloud of dust."  Enjoy.
