You'd better believe it's amazing, and that was the point: the brain is a sort of "holographic" system. Say what you will about electronics, we can't build something if we don't know how it's made, advances in technology notwithstanding. But maybe bio-engineering will allow us to "grow" complex systems without understanding them? (Although this leaves us in the hands of a holographic, artificially intelligent computer, the machinations of which we don't understand… SF here we come. 8) I dunno. This is a good category for the discussion, because I am most certainly typing this off the cuff. Let's compare notes and see how well electronics and bio-engineered systems are doing against each other when the latter reaches the state we're citing. I plan on still being around then… don't you? 8) Rick
