    A reply on Conversation: When, How and Why have your most strongly held views changed?

    Apr 25 2011: Translation: Hllo, my dear. My opinion has changed concerning being well socially. I thought being well meant to have a car, being able to travel whenever I wanted, having friends available, and all those thing melted into ruins as a sand castle. I see things transforming scaringly fast. Everithing is very relative. Whatever is good for me may not be so for you and so on... Well, do you know what I really see? Whatever you do is valuable if a love feeling is present.Nothing else. As easy as water from a river spring, whose mission is to flw into the ocean. Kisses, my dear.

    A comment on Talk: Srikumar Rao: Plug into your hard-wired happiness

    Mar 10 2010: What Mr. Rao says is a part of the truth, not all of it. Every process has a purpose, otherwise it would be meaningless to do anything, and the purpose of processes, of every one of our actions, is an outcome.

    A reply on Talk: Henry Markram: A brain in a supercomputer

    Oct 20 2009: The computer is not going to think but wiil help us learn a lot about what the brain does. For instance, a car factory simulated in a computer does not make real cars but helps us to improve a real factory.
