This site has been included in   Science>Cognitive Science category. If you found topics of these pages interesting, you might wish to explore other sites listed under this and related categories. A discussion group with the same name has been created under the same category (Science > Cognitive Science). It could be accessed at any page by clicking on the title of the site (top left corner). Thanks Yahoo!

I received a number of benevolent comments and suggestions from , Associate Professor of Philosophy at Middle Tennessee State University. Unfortunately, I could not lay my hands on his piece in Idealistic Studies called "The Education of Searle's Demon" that resembles the challenge of this site.  I hope that our correspondence enriched with his friendly criticism and encouragements will continue. Thanks Ron!

The establishment of the discussion group related to this site brought into open many interesting issues that inspired me to work out other dimensions of "our description of the world and ourselves within it". For this I owe special thanks to Dr. Alex Green, Dr. Stephen P. Smith, Claire Smith and others.


The work on these pages will continue and in the progress I'll try to substantiate the claims made by actual scientific discoveries. For this I'll need approvals from appropriate and reliable sources. Since this is a private web-site (no funding), I probably won't be able to quote as many I would like. (Only following what is happening in the scientific world is a bit expensive for an outsider like me.)

As I receive approvals, this pages will be modified to include relevant links to sites that granted it. However, some of potential links might require a subscription and if you do not have it - you will have to trust me. (Huh. I do not like this one. Whenever somebody tells me "trust me" I get suspicious.)

In one case I could not resist to quote (just a little) from an excellent book: "The User Illusion" by Tor Nørrentranders and I hope it will be taken benevolently. I am already trying to obtain approval (with some difficulties as any novice) and I hope to remedy it in the near future.
