There are as many connections in a cubic centimeter of our brain as there are stars in our galaxy. This small organ surpasses in complexity anything we can imagine. So even if you think you are not very smart, remind yourself, and this is no exaggeration, that you are the most active and intelligent being on earth because you are a human being. Humanity has come a long way, and we are the only ones on the planet who are trying to figure out our own code.
