The brain trust at Freethoughtblogs will be teaming up to check each others’ assumptions, calibrate our thoughts, consider personal experiences, and do a little data averaging and correction on Saturday, 10 August, at 4pm Central time, in a little podcast we’re calling “When Brains Betray Us”. We have a fine collection of damaged, abnormal, and weird brains to share our history with the ways brains can go bad, and how we can compensate.
We hope you’ll all share your perspectives in the comments and let us know that we’re not the only screwed up ones.
Is it brains we are looking at, or whole people?

So you gonna talk about Mango Mussolini the whole time? Askin’ for a friend…
“We hope you’ll all share your perspectives in the comments and let us know that we’re not the only screwed up ones.” That is, if such thoughts might get through the spam filters.
Then again, this filtration is important. I observed the demise of many an unknown creature in the murky waters of the aquarium.
Brains have a lot of bugs to sort through, even when they’re functioning to specs. It’s almost as if someone kludged a monkey brain into doing complex and abstract thinking because it seemed like a useful improvement at the time.
Isn’t “when brains betray us” what the US and UK have been living through the last 9 years?
