On the wider stage, of course, this is not just to be dismissed as mildly cranky (barmy boffins, naive citizens and all that) for it brings with it the danger of reactionary politics and inhumane policies. In the little world of CE, neuromania seems to turn the back on AP's big and defining breakthrough, his bringing motor disorders out into the light of the social formation of human personality.<br /><br />You and Norman have spotted that there is a groundswell of indignation and concern about neuro-this and neuro-that, and CE could attract some of this disquiet. I read confident statements, variously put, that CE changes brains. It would seem important for CE to decide where it is sitting on this matter. This is the sort of thing that should be brought into the open and thrashed out in those rare occasions when the CE tribes gather, at the World Congress or example. That would be fun.Andrewhttp://www.conductive.world.infonoreply@blogger.com
