So this ties in quite nicely with that reporter's incredulity that pleasure centres could exist in the brains of "lower" animals and probably have for 200 million years. Apparently the popular view is that we act from the experience of desires and pleasures, but all other animals are robots whose instincts are like the programming of a soulless machine. A smooth continuum from unconscious to conscious must present too many inconvenient implications to be countenanced... -Pete _______________________________________________ Futurework mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://scribe.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework
