I have just finished one on the brain.
Now, and I have a reason for asking this, after taking that
brain course, were you left feeling more, or less,
comfortable with your brain, such as it is now?
I've often imagined that, if I were put in charge of a good
old-fashioned insane asylum, I would simply write out
detailed directions for the inmates, showing them how to get
out of the place. Then it dawned on me with stunning clarity
that I had not taken account of my intended readership's,
shall we say, um, somewhat special cognitive facilities. In
short, I had not made adjustment for the fact that my
readers were all psychotic and might not "get" the intended
meaning of my escape booklet. God knows what they might see
in it, right?
So I extend that sort of thinking to brain courses. What
would someone, like me, whose brain has taken a fair beating
over the years (hey, it was the Sixties, what can I say?)
get out of the course? Isn't it highly likely that a, shall
we say, "non-standard" brain might not properly understand
the course material? And hence go away very unhappy with the
state of my poor little brain!
Best regards,
