Was anybody questioning the fact that neurotransmitters are part of brain activity?
By the way, neurons are slow and neurotransmitters are super slow, even today a
transistor is several hundred million times faster.

If true then according to Moore's law that would put off the day of reckoning by
6 or 7 years.
