And speaking of brain science, George Will—an American political pundit who normally writes about the machinations of government—has written an interesting column on… an Administration initiative to study the neurochemistry of the brain (http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/george-f-will-obamas-brainy-idea/2013/08/23/ca5bb1ca-0b45-11e3-b87c-476db8ac34cd_story.html).

Do we have bodies or are we bodies? What will become of the field of psychology as explorations of brain anatomy advances our understanding of how brain architecture influences, or even determines, behavior? “The devil made me do it” is no longer an exculpation. But what about “My brain circuitry made me do it”?

What indeed.

Oh, I never believed the old “devil made me do it” nonsense. Regardless of religious beliefs, we all have complete control over our actions……

Well, okay, maybe not complete control. And some of us maybe have less control than others.
