Models, Metaphors, and Intuition: How we think, learn and communicate

My goal in this writing is to promote social consciousness and increase awareness and understanding of the "human condition" that we all share, and that ultimately binds us all in our future, and our fate. I endeavor to pursue that goal with a series of discussions on how we think, how we learn, and how we communicate against the backdrop of our own individual consciousness, and to do so in an accessible manner. These discussions will leverage similarities of the human brain to neural networks in computing and artificial intelligence - as it has become increasingly important recently to understand these concepts.
