Frank,

 

I will read this, I promise, but only after I am allowed to express my blind and ignorant prejudice:

 

I always read these things with profound dread:  Nothing is harder to digest than high end technology stirred into rank manure.  When baked it’s kind of like a manure soufflé.  A beautiful and tasty-looking structure which is, none the less, still    …. . 

 

I say this up front, so all can see that this judgment is actually irrelevant to the specific instance put before me.

That link took me somewhere weird.  But here's one that worked for me after googlin' the subject line:

http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/181284-human-consciousness-is-simply-a-state-of-matter-like-a-solid-or-liquid-but-quantum

It includes these links.  But I'll log them here for posterity:
