Two people can read the exact same thing and come up with completely different interpretations.
To me, this reinforces the importance of collaboration - people generate ideas and are inspired by different things.
It would be cool if we could figure out why, or how, we mold our minds into what they become. Would it be possible to feed a machine the identical experiences as a human and have it arrive upon the same beliefs? The head fake, as Randy Pausch would put it, of this blog is to see if all this info can be used to reconstruct a memory/belief system that is anywhere close to what I have accumulated, in the far future. Of course, it's missing large chunks of human interaction and other learning, but I'd be curious to see if you can get a computer to learn things the same way that a human brain does if we give the computer access to ALL the senses and experiences.
