“I am afraid completeness is the one thing that will elude you and me and the rest of mankind forever. Maybe that's why I obsess about the soul project. Deep in my Oriental, scientific heart, I know... I know... despite the electrodes and the weighing scales and the dying bodies, science can prove nothing about the existence of the soul.
