I see it more as western science having been unbalanced, overemphasizing 'objectivity' now accepting 'subjectivity' ~~~~~~~~~~ e.g., Buddhists wearing hairnets for brain scans to measure where blood goes when a meditator envisions X ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ with now an over-emphasis on the brain. Eventually, they'll come to realize, for example, what it means that the 20% of the brain's activity actually affects the human heart, whereas 80% of the human heart's messages affect the human brain. And where is the chemical cocktail for charity given in order pump up self-congratulatory ego? But ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ heck, yes! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ this is all very interesting.

I can't stop wondering if we can sooner or later prove or find the actual material that costs every pattern of human behavior... would that make it better or worse? would that help us to promote more goodness and reduce badness? don’t get hooked—good advise.
