Psychedelic Salon 184
Bruce Damer on The Boundaries of the Human Mind
Presented at Mind States Oaxaca, 2004 (second talk of a two talk series)

PROGRAM NOTES:

[NOTE: All quotes below are by Bruce Damer.]

âWhat Damasio is showing is that people who, in the lab, get a huge amount of cognitive stimulus all the time start to have no access to the emotional part [of themselves] at all. They canât store to it, and they canât retrieve from it. They become what he calls emotionally neutral.â

âSo if ANY crisis arises you have the wrong people [in charge], probably, because the things that put them there, and the constituencies that wanted them there, create a person who is incapable of handling a real crisis.â

âIf you want a future, you have to take charge of your own thoughts.â
