I agree, and this is one of my more specific points. The brain is powerful
hardware, but limited by its software -- its operating system, to stretch the
metaphor. Of course, the primary difficulty is transcending the operating
system to modify it, or even replace it entirely. I must admit that I'm a bit
skeptical about circuits six through eight, but of course this is a result of
the operating system I'm currently using (Microsoft's Rational-Critical Law
Student <grin>).

Can you give some specifics? I don't see any radical surgery in my future, but
I'm sure you've acquired some knowledge I would find helpful.

Again, something to sink my teeth into?
