Keep in mind that this comment is in no way even a tiny bit compatible with our current understanding of how the brain works. Treat it as a good sci-fi plot.

Yeah well that's what I did, but by sci-fi plot standards it had a huge amount of merit and originality. This isn't a peer-reviewed journal, nor the Bible. And your comment contributes too, by pointing out it isn't consistent with Western medicine. You're helping the reader who happened to buy into that, not to try combining it with scientific mainstream things, not talk about it at the water cooler, and not talk about it for instance when being psychologically evaluated. Like even if the psych likes you if you say things like that it's out of his hands and he has to flunk you. That's the mistake Feynman made, he talks about flunking a psych exam for the military, but like full-on full F, like they used special words to describe how poor they judged his mind to be, and then he replied to them accepting the F and asking to be flunked harder on the basis it was clearly crazy to write them that letter. And he was constantly thinking about the fabric of the universe, entertained many wild theories to arrive at sound ones, I'm sure of that. But yeah, thanks for saying that, in case readers didn't take that comment with a grain of salt. Yours was the grain of salt.

  I don't think science, and the application of the scientific method, can be fairly categorised as "western medicine". We all have shower thoughts but I keep mine to myself, at least until I can actually demonstrate something with it.

    Do you at least write them down for yourself?
    - daniel-cussen 4y ago
      Yeah Feynman wrote them down sometimes, way before being able to demonstrate. Von Neumann too. Einstein. Wrote down theories before they were laws.
