I don't mind at all! :-)
I have never had any reasons to doubt that you represent good science.
All I am doing is no less arrogant perverse and punny "pushing of a barrow"
in the slipstream of good old conservative neuroscience. [I am well aware
that I would have far fewer legs to stand (or push with) were it not for the
fact that perceptive, clever, meticulous folk are have been so focused on
figuring and ferreting things out.]
The central content of 'my barrow' is the relatively simple fact (and idea)
that our evolution has inevitably incorporated active (and at least double
barrelled) blocking of maladaptive "actentions" (i.e. ~= behavioral
emotional and visceral responses) to painful sources of stimulation
(whatever these may be) -- plus a plethora of closely related insidious
consequences.
