I second that and thank you for keeping me from writing a scathing reply to
the umpteenth reply by the elite to "this question".  There are some
pragmatic areas to be explored, even with the little we know, that are
thwarted with all the tired cutsie answers.  Please neuroscientists, try to
join some of the very real issues for which some non scientists  have made
some very real breakthroughs but would be so much better off if your patience
would prevail and add to our humble  attempts.

Once in a while it would be nice if the people have the knowledge, but so far
few solutions, would dare to  contribute  their wisdom  and  LEARN from
those who live the  problems.

Thanks if you read this.
