Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was a "universal genius" who ranged across many fields and made breakthroughs in most of them. Leibniz invented calculus (independently from Isaac Newton), conceptualized the modern computer, and developed the famous thesis that the existing world is the best that God could have created.

Great bio of Leibniz
Revisado: 01-22-25
I'm a bit of a Leibniz geek. This is a creative Leibniz bio depicting not only the thinker but the MAN. He was quite the character. Grab this one.

In recent years, the advent of MRI technology seems to have unlocked the secrets of the human mind, revealing the sources of our deepest desires, intentions, and fears. As renowned psychiatrist and scholar Sally Satel and psychologist Scott O. Lilienfeld demonstrate in Brainwashed, however, the explanatory power of brain scans in particular and neuroscience more generally has been vastly overestimated.

Essential listening

I've known for some time that neuroscientists often go way past the data when they're making their wild claims....
-There is no free will
-We hallucinate our conscious reality
-There is no self
Just a few of the absurd extrapolations I've endured over the years.
These authors set the record straight and show that neuroscience, while a valuable discipline, isn't the be-all-end-all when it comes to understanding the human condition.
