we are the man of sun.

My name is Patrick. Currently a Public Policy undergrad. I blog about politics, science, books/reading, veganism, human rights, animal rights, quotes, plants, photography, philosophy (especially determinism, existentialism, and ethics), cultures (and culture jamming), and art and music. I enjoy exploring and evolution and the universe both make me feel absolutely amazed and grateful to be alive every single day of my sorry little life. I believe in community; the Commons; the collective. Seminal Books: Ishmael, Twilight of the Elites, The Reactionary Mind, The God Delusion, The Moral Landscape, A Language Older Than Words, Endgame (Jensen NOT Alex Jones), Life Without Oil, and Rules for Radicals.

We’re hardwired not to be hardwired.

Darren Schreiber, University of California-San Diego neuropolitics (yeah, you read that right) researcher.

Remember people, our brains have amazing plasticity and change from experience. In fact, they change quite remarkably and a lot quicker then most proposed not long ago. Just 42 years ago, most believed that the nervous system was fixed throughout adulthood.
