a) Suggested trinitarianism (triptych) tempts one to ignore that cogni-TION; emo-TION and motiva-TION imply different reactions to same action.
b) Consenting to suggested triptych doesn't strip away from sentience; it layers suggested upon ones perception.
...implies PANYS aka PENIS backwards.
Not a conspiracy but adjacent. They are creating biocomputers using human brain cells and we should know what that means. Whose brain stuff are they using?!?! Shouldn't be using any brains!
Craziness aside, this is a great book.

In Synaptic Self, LeDoux provides an overview of this research and demonstrates how it sheds light on the relationship between our sense of self and the ever-changing mass of neurons on which we depend. The scope of Synaptic Self is quite broad, beginning with the question “what is a synapse?” and ending with the question “who are you?” The lion’s share of the book, however, is devoted to an historical and conceptual introduction to neuroscience and its relationship to cognitive science, psychology, and philosophy of mind.
