    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.'' "
