The mind is all that you are truly in control of.

(imo)

If you're an adherent of biological determinism this has implications for your mind, basically that you aren't in control of it. However there have been studies which show that consciousness receives information after it has occurred in physical reality. I can't remember the details, but it involved various stimuli and brain scans which showed that "eureka moment", "satori" or understanding to occur momentarily after the event had taken place.
However the mind feeds back into the body, becoming infinitely more confusing.
THEN on top of that you have psychology, ego, id etc.

It's a huge topic, idk how one could address it so briefly :/

Maybe have a read of some Aldous Huxley, chuck in some Jung and that might have covered the basics. Or you could just drop a tab :3

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

When we launched in May 2000, we wanted to create a site to share science-related content of all kinds on the web. As time passed, our site turned into a pure science forum with lots of cool people.

So we kept the name Hypography and the cool science forum community - and aim to be a friendly place for discussion of science topics of all kinds.
