Yes, there was a point where I got tired of disproving the irrational
supernaturality which is so common, and finally asked the
questions:<br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>why?<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>que
bono?<br><br>
In the perspective of evolutionary psychology and sociobiology it became
very clear. Add the discovery by Penfield (the surgeon whose operations
led to the discovery of hemispherical differences) of a location within
the sylvan fold which when stimulated resulted in patient experiences
very similiar to NDE reports) and we come to a <u>physical structure</u>
in the brain for generating these. And to top it all off, remember
evolution selects for survival and reproductive success...... All of the
arguments here are easy to deduce, hard to refute, and fits the
scientific materialist pov extremely well.<br><br>
The really <u>interesting</u> point is that if it is physical, then it's
nano, and therefore subject to design and engineering. The few kinds of
altered states which are of sufficent benefit for our Monkey Brains is a
<u>small</u> subset of what may be possible. I hope to become an artist
in this medium. (pun noted)<br><br>
