Amplifying cognition

I understand that most people blog about things they've read and found interesting. Half the time I feel like this blog is about pages I wish I had time to read. Amplifying Cognition - Extending Memory and Intelligence looks fascinating, and one day I'll have time to finish it. In the meantime, it's got a terrific quote:

"We are smart enough to realize we are stupid, and stupid enough to make the problem of becoming smarter hard." -- Anders Sandberg

(Credit where credit is due: I found this quote in XML Topic Maps: Creating and Using Topic Maps for the Web. You can actually read the book online, too.)
