The Brain Isn't Everything

Pastri: I remember when i was young reading allan watts lecture where he talked about the brain being the rebellious organ. And i ize that a lot of times i get hung up on what my brain is thinking, and i don't think about what my body is feeling. If we saw the brain as this limited, quirky, idiosyncratic biological organ that evolved to do a bunch of things that different from what we ask of it these days in our modern world, i think we would first of all understand why the brain so often lets us down. But we would also understand that we need to augment the and extend the brain's biological capacities with outside the brain resources.
