Highly doubtful. It's potentially the best *explanatory* system, in the
broad. But it offers very little of practical benefit, as yet.
Transmitter-modulators and cognitive/emotional discursive methods are not
incredibly effective, but they are the coal-face for intervention.
Speculations about life in the Pleistocene, however engaing and brilliant,
don't help a depressive get out of the trough.
