What questions regarding consciousness, identity, or other facets of the mind occur to you during the course of reading? Has the reading made you interested in pursuing similar topics or study outside of this work? Several individuals in this work are leaders in their field of scientific study but ethically inconsistent or harmful (to put it generously) outside of their immediate discipline to what extent does 'death of the author' apply to their accomplishments? Is the relationship of scientist (or science more generally) to morality different in some way than to other fields or professions? Have scientists become more ethically sound in modern day?
To what extent do you attribute identity to elements other than your brain, be they limbs, physical processes, or external elements such as an affinity for certain media? Or is the brain the ultimate arbiter of identity as the perceptive monitor and coordinator of these elements?
How do you reconcile the unconscious processes by which the brain informs identity with seemingly conscious models of who you are? How often, if at all, do you feel separate from your brain and how would our model of ourselves change if we were able to actively move parts of the subconscious to the conscious? Which case, historical person, or area of study from this week did you enjoy the most? What parts did you find confusing?
