Well, I dunno about all the 10 syllable words, but this article is
certainly replete with Big Ideas and Great Possibilities. And it
seems to be based on old-fashioned university-level science, and not
dot-com startup, stock-manipulating, media-mongering commercialism.
I like this quote from the article:
"Up to a point the brain is open, malleable and constantly changing.
We might well be able to make it run in new ways.'' Of those who
dismiss Snyder's theories out of hand, he shrugs: ''People are often
blind to new ideas. Especially scientists.'' "
