Mr Takeway dixit: "In my book, The Mind is Flat: The Remarkable Shallowness of the Improvising Brain, I argue that modern neuroscience, psychology, and AI push us even further: to the conclusion that the stories we tell ourselves about our motives, beliefs, and values are not merely unreliable in their specifics but are fictitious through and through."
There is an interesting comment thread on BigThink's FB page post about this book and even more interesting is someone invoking Sturgeon's Law (except for JC's teachings), and someone invoking the demiurge and Samsara in the same sentence.
