…that I could see a data-bus and an address-bus. I know what they feel, and smell like. I got good at patching dataflow DSP because 20 years earlier I spent hours in the studio patching analogue synths. Descartes Error is a book by Antonio Damasio [1] that talks about the weakness of purely rationalist epistemology. The foundation is laid long before we are even aware of knowing and learning. That book had an influence…
Have you read "Descartes' Error", by António Damásio (USC Neurology professor)? I must have recommended this a thousand times. Found it amazing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descartes%27_Error
That may not be possible. A good case can be made that emotions are vital to human cognition. E.g.: http://www.amazon.com/Descartes-Error-Emotion-Reason-Human/d... What you could instead be doing is not noticing your subtler emotions. Until I took up meditation, I thought I was very rational. But after years of paying attention to the…
…known phenomenon! Emotions are key to the decision-making process, and when they are impaired for whatever reason then you are more likely to make suboptimal decisions. I recommend Antonio Damasio's book Descartes' Error for a good picture of how this works.
……对意识有着极大的兴趣，却没人敢声称已经定位了具体脑区。如果你之前没读过，我推荐奥利弗·萨克斯的《把妻子当帽子的人》（The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat）。读完那个之后，安东尼奥·达马西奥的《笛卡尔的错误》（Descartes Error）可能也很有意思（如果你对情绪与理性感兴趣的话）。[1] http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory
…vast interest in consciousness, no-one had claimed to have identified regions. If you haven't come across it before, I'd recommend The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sacks. Following that, Descartes Error by Antonio Damasio might also be interesting (if you're interested in emotion and reason). [1] http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory
……* * * 往大处说，如果你对心理学、灵长类行为、神经科学、哲学、博弈论和语言学感兴趣，这里有一些我觉得非常有帮助的书单：• 安东尼奥·达马西奥的《笛卡尔的错误》（Descartes' Error）• Bear、Connors 和 Paradiso 写的《神经科学：探索脑》（Neuroscience: Exploring the brain，这是一本配图极棒的教材，讲解非常清晰；完全对得起我买它花的那 72 欧元）• 《行为》（Behave）……

……以至于我仿佛能亲眼看到数据总线（data-bus）和地址总线（address-bus）。我知道它们的触感和气味是什么样的。我之所以擅长打补丁搞数据流 DSP，是因为 20 年前我泡在工作室里花了无数小时给模拟合成器接跳线。安东尼奥·达马西奥写的《笛卡尔的错误》（Descartes Error）[1]探讨了纯理性主义认识论的缺陷。在我们甚至还没有意识到认知和学习之前，基础就已经打好了。那本书深深影响了……

你读过安东尼奥·达马西奥（António Damásio，南加州大学神经学教授）写的《笛卡尔的错误》（Descartes' Error）吗？这本书我少说推荐过一千次了。写得太神了。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descartes%27_Error

那可能根本做不到。有充分的论据表明情绪对人类认知至关重要。例如：http://www.amazon.com/Descartes-Error-Emotion-Reason-Human/d... 你实际上面临的情况，可能只是没察觉到自己更细微的情绪罢了。在开始冥想之前，我也一直以为自己超级理性。但在花了好几年去留意那些……

……已知的现象！情绪在决策过程中扮演着核心角色，一旦情绪因为某种原因受损，你就更容易做出次优决策。我推荐安东尼奥·达马西奥的书《笛卡尔的错误》（Descartes' Error），能很好地讲清楚这套机制的原理。
