new science of the brain

[Carl]

from NY Times:

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/29/health/29book.html

The ability of the brain to never stop growing...
new connections, increasing complexity over time,
and to adapt and repair, to regain "lost" abilities.

An additional takeaway from this article is the "con"
of neuroplasticity... the other side of the brain's malleability
and adaptability is it's vulnerability.

A scientific take on "garbage in, garbage out".

2 important points:

* responsibility to be the care-takers of our inner worlds,
what and how we program ourselves

* responsibility and ability to repair deficient pathways
of thought by conscious re-routing. In other words,
let the mysticism dangle and die, rather than become
more entrenched.

Further inquiry:

* The nature of thoughts, words, language.

* Who is Edward de Bono
