This is incredibly interesting, and so too is Jean's response.

As far as I'm concerned, the body is where we are at, though all our intellectualizing has set up a dichotomy whereby the head glorifies itself at the expense of the body. Most of us have this problem, some more than others, and we run into it, for instance, everytime we resort to Western medicine and the vast array of "specialists." One specialist might treat a special problem in one part of the body whereupon another problem someplace else is triggered, and our entire apprehension of the world is tempered by this "me first" tendency (being so impressed by our brains). It's a terrible sort of narcissm we get caught up in while everything else goes to hell.

And thus we get people like GW Bush et al whose response to almost anything is simplistic and self-centered as opposed to complex.

It's enough to make one cry sometimes.
