Description
Chaos theory, which is wonderfully explained in this book, is a foundational recipe in nature and large group behavior. Abstract thinking is the opposite force that leads to frustrating inconsistencies in society and even limitations in technology. Viewing the world through both lenses illuminates the deeper dynamics of the world and a better way forward for humanity.
Elaine Walker is an electronic musician with a deep interest in philosophy and chaos theory. Being raised by two loving mathematics professors provided her with a natural appreciation for mathematics. Her Masters thesis at New York University was on using chaos dynamics to compose and perform music. Elaine has regularly volunteered for the NewSpace community, promoting the idea of humans living in space. She spent five summers in the High Arctic on the NASA Haughton-Mars Project. She is a proponent of longevity and a member of the cryonics organization, Alcor.

I am pleased to announce that (according to Elaine Walker) I am now a member of the 1% of the population who thought about hyperspheres.
The credit goes to her. With the book "Mind over Matter" she drew a remarkable and very interesting picture (maybe controversial, but original and well built) of the entire universe. And by "universe" I mean space time energy lifetime conscience morality intelligence abstraction curiosity evolution... A very long list, reflecting the depth of thought and the formidable erudition of the Author.
This book has literally opened before me a new way to consider the universe (by "universe" I mean ... see the above list!) and the everyday reality (whatever it is).
Thank you, Elaine Walker, for the depth of your thoughts and your kindness in sharing them through a clear and understandable language.
Such an interesting book so easily written and explained it's not so easy to find. Everything from universe to morality (going trough fractals and biology) or anything you are wondering right now, I was so happy to read this book that I'm going to recommend it to everybody I know.
Un libro chiarissmo e decisamente molto interessante non é poi cosí facile da trovare, quindi sono entusiasta di aver avuto la possibilitá di leggere questo, che spazia dall'universo alla morale, passando per i frattali e la biologia senza sluzione di continuitá e offre una seplice panoramica sul tutto, tanto che lo consiglieró a chiunqe.
THANKS TO NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!
