Doesn't it seem interesting that we feel as if we're a self-contained entity apart from the universe, occupying bodies, yet only existing somewhere behind the eyes? Even further, aside from the complexity of the neural networks in the brain that give muscle feedback to our intentions, there lies subconscious motor control. Sometimes we're not conscious of what we're doing. What is consciousness anyway? Just the confabulation of complex neural networks firing off electrical charges all running in perfectly smooth harmony? Or is there something more going on? (I am clearly avoiding issues of religion and spirituality here, just seeking to stimulate thoughts on explanations of consciousness) I pose these arbitrary questions to my readers to elicit far more than a chin scratching response. Really think about this. What do you believe is true? Is it different from what you want to believe it true? Since it is the frontal lobe portion of our brains that controls social behavior, and we know that alcohol, for example, disrupts normal functioning in this area of the brain, why mess with it? When consuming alcohol, the common result is that judgment and the ability to inhibit our behavior decreases significantly... so why the need to eliminate our critical thinking skills? Hmmm...... Just some random brain candy.
