If I had to place a bet right now on who the future will judge was the Darwin of our time, I would bet on Marvin Minsky. This Split-Brain post asks "What if I’m not the only person in my head?". IMO this may be the most fascinating question to work on today. Minsky answered it IMO conclusively in his Society of Mind (1986), just as Darwin answered the question "Where do species come from?". There is no "you", but a collection of agents/resources inside your brain. The details are still being discovered by the great work of folks like Hawkins, but Minsky's theory seems like a bullseye. Split-brain is on the right track, but the N is a lot higher.
