"My Stroke of Insight" offers a truly unique perspective, as it is penned by someone who is both a neuroscientist and a stroke survivor. The book is filled with enlightening and thought-provoking discussions, even if I don't fully align with all of them. The brain has always been a mysterious realm, and it continues to elude complete understanding. I resonate deeply with the notion that we can reshape ourselves and influence our world through our thoughts, without veering too far into spirituality. The idea of temporarily stepping away from the relentless analytical demands of the left brain by turning inward—towards the right brain—is particularly compelling. While I strive to avoid excessive spiritual interpretations, I find it difficult to dismiss the possibility that there are certain neurological structures yet to be fully explored and understood by science.
“Both the sources of blurring -quantum indeterminacy and the fact that physical systems are composed of zillions of molecules- are at the heart of time. Temporality is profoundly linked to blurring. The blurring is due to the fact that we are ignorant of the microscopic details of the world. The time of physics is, ultimately, the expression of our ignorance of the world. Time is ignorance.”

“This dense marble table would look like a fog if I were shrunk to a small enough, atomic scale. Everything in the world becomes blurred when seen close up.”
