    Hmm, if you place a magnetic flux through the brain, it will
    affect the phase of electron wave functions and directly affect
    their quantum properties by the Aharonov-Bohm effect. Can that be
    used to toggle good and evil by twisting the phase 180 degrees?
    The presence of varying magnetic fields in our modern environment
    might explain the current moral confusion :-)
