The scientifc approach – I’ve been involved in the research and marketing of isotopic brain tracers myself – where, as you elegantly showed, biochemical activity of the brain exerts itself on different levels, as opposed to the Freudian approach whereby “levels” mean a different thing altogether. It takes a Michel Onfray – amusing, clever, but a cheat and a lier – to “destroy” old Sigmund. Incidently, the cerebral cel (the neuron at least) is totally dependent on glucose for its functioning. It accepts no other fuel. I’m very proud to be a diabetic patient .... You remember Tonton David’s song (not you, idiot): “Mets ton cerveau sur la position HIGH ...”.

You become as free as a baby but with the experience of your life time. We should take advantage of that special experience to regenerate our brain getting rid of all the stuff that prevent us from being what we really want to be.<br />At the moment you are falling sleep you should tell your brain what to change and the brain will do the work for you. There are interesting researchs about that subject and it is an easy way to improve our life.<br /><br />Montse <br />it is an easy way of improvent our life.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04050671780362077065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219646897587177986.post-22298163107133526332011-03-02T17:46:09.512+01:002011-03-02T17:46:09.512+01:00Individualism… Unfortunately we are making money b...Individualism… Unfortunately we are making money by exploiting human nature… But I have the feeling that things can change as I have had examples of that kind of thought around me.

Don't know whether we ... "should keep talking", but I enjoy doing it, so:<br />I may sound emphatic ... and pathetic, but it took me the best part of 50 years to realize redistribution of wealth, retribution according to merits (to be defined) and a HUGE slowing down of so-called “progress” is no utopia at all. Even more, it is the only hope to keep this bloody planet alive for much longer. How come a lot of clever – I don’t deny it – people cannot realize that? <br />I tutored a wine tasting in a Brussels restaurant, some 7-8 years ago (I wasn’t a wine-maker at that time, or then only on holiday), having been hired by the local branch of (hum, dare I say it?) ... Exon! They had a meeting with all the marketing managers from over 25 individual US states (Texas, California ... you name it) and Mexico as well, and had to be “entertained” at supper’s time. We had lovely wines – all French - and they enjoyed themselves. When the evening was over and I had done my duty, Dr Charlier stepped back and Mr. Jek ...iLéon made an appearance. I asked one single candid question: “What will happen in 30 years, when there is no longer any oil?”. I had expected an .... aula (Mexican Wave, David) of protest. Nothing of the like, their “chief” (hierarchy is very strong in US companies) answered: “ It is a serious problem ... but I won’t be there anymore to bother”.<br />Maybe that’s the reason why some of our co-survivors just don’t care!Luc Charliernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219646897587177986.post-29322582423402302182011-03-02T09:27:12.806+01:002011-03-02T09:27:12.806+01:00Yes of course I am quite sure binge drinking doesn...Yes of course I am quite sure binge drinking doesn't help at all to any kind of creativity !<br />But think about one glass, and things turn generally better. 90% of contracts are signed for the aperitive or during dinners…olivierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429983212587026888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219646897587177986.post-80946824645976857622011-03-02T08:51:25.986+01:002011-03-02T08:51:25.986+01:00Not sure that free = alcohol-induced disinhibition...Not sure that free = alcohol-induced disinhibition.
