Neuroscience needs to be taken in context
Neuroscience today is often glibly misued. I want to raise a deeper issue. Often times localized neuroscience ideas are taken to be ‘real’ without understanding how they fit into the overall organization of Consciousness in the brain. Consciousness is the medium through which we live the human life. It is actually organized in the brain as a play with a cast of characters, relationships between them, a landscape, and set designs. This is most easily seen in dreams. Human personality evolves from the collision between our temperament and our nurture, particularly responsiveness, abuse, and emotional deprivation all the way from embryonic life. This is consonant with dreams, myths, art, and personality.
