It Is The Most Wondrous

Who You Are Depends On The Sum Total Of Your Neurobiology.

As We Develop Better Technologies For Probing The Brain, We Detect More Problems.

The Majority Of Human Beings Live Their Whole Lives Unaware That They Are Only Seeing A Limited Cone Of Vision At Any Moment.

If You Cannot Always Elicit A Straight Answer From The Unconscious Brain, How Can You Access Its Knowledge? Sometimes The Trick Is Merely To Probe What Your Gut Is Telling You. So The Next Time A Friend Laments That She Cannot Decide Between Two Options, Tell Her The Easiest Way To Solve Her Problem: Flip A Coin. She Should Specify Which Option Belongs To Heads And Which To Tails, And Then Let The Coin Fly. The Important Part Is To Assess Her Gut Feeling After The Coin Lands. If She Feels A Subtle Sense Of Relief At Being "told" What To Do By The Coin, That's The Right Choice For Her.

All Life Is No More Than A Match Struck In The Dark And Blown Out Again.
