thinking in a large space

Espresso Shot Eye Opener: Something Cool About Learning, Memory, Minds, Brains and Cognition

The exploration of the cognitive sciences takes place in an explosively large space - a near infinity of networked playgrounds and vistas of thought. The space is as big as the universe of things that minds can think about; the number of ways they can think about them; the number of ways they can internalize, encode and structure this thinking; the number, types and combinations of minds that are doing the thinking; the number of ways that these minds can interact with each-other; the cultures, societies, structures, dynamic systems, languages and shared spaces which house the artifacts and patterns generated by these interactions. That's cool!
