Human brain is a massively parallel system.

I wouldn't normally bother pointing out typos, but this is in the first sentence. You mean "The human brain is a massively parallel system."

the literature is ripe with references to "a part of me wanted", and perhaps we should all take this as much more than allegory.

It's awkward that every comment so far is about this sentence, but don't you mean "literature" not "the literature"? Are you talking about what people say, or what philosophers say? "A part of me wanted" doesn't sound like a philosophical comment to me.

Doesn't anyone think that it is very rude to comment in someone else's language unless it is not understandable - just plain RUDE? If someone wants help with language they can ask. Language is a tool not a weapon.

I read the post, and didn't have much to say about the content. I felt a little bit bad about just correcting the grammar without having anything of substance to say, but it was in Main so I did so anyway. I tried to be polite.

OK, I over reacted. Several others have said that it is acceptable in Main - so be it. I guess it does not bother others as much as it bothers me and I won't comment on corrections in future.
