Once upon a time, we were a little stomach on a stick floating in the sea. Gradually, we evolved and grew a brain, this legendary organ that can do so many amazing things, namely the brain:
- predicts (almost) everything we do
- can influence and change the future
- collaborate with other brains
.
But that's not all. The most important superpower of this organ is that it makes us human. How does this happen?
It seems that we know everything about the brain. Then how does it know even more about us?
