science fiction in the service of science

"Let the problem of the mind dissolve in your mind..."

"...science fiction in the service of science. Or just science, if you agree that fiction is part of it, always was, and always will be as long as our brains are only minuscule fragments of the universe, much too small to hold all the facts of the world, but not too idle to speculate about them."

--Valentino Braitenberg "Vehicles: Experiments in Synthetic Psychology"
