How powerful is the human mind?

[devonin]

So from the other perspective, the mind isn't so hot or powerful. Pretty feeble if you ask me. Less than a century of nanotechnology has almost surpassed a billion years of evolution.

Out of curiosity...just what species' mind came up with nanotechnology? They must have been pretty smart.


Edit: And as for that 6th sense, there is actually a good argument for it. It reads input based on orientation. Even if you are blind, deaf, dumb etc you can tell (as an example) if you are upside down, or if someone is very close to you. I generally argue against this being something that counts as a full-on sense, but it's worth at least considering rather than dismissing outright.
