持怀疑态度的科学家经常指出，正如卡尔·萨根（Carl Sagan）所拥有的那样，真正的科学的奇观远远超过了边缘科学的奇观。我认为可以颠倒这个想法，并说真实意识的奇观远超过了传统科学所承认的。
(Skeptical scientists often point out, as Carl Sagan has, that the wonders of real science far surpass the supposed wonders of fringe science. I think it is possible to invert that idea, and to say that the wonders of real consciousness far surpass what conventional science admits can exist.)
