Re: Escaping the grey world - NOT!

["Charles Andrew" <candrewpsu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, the medical aspects of microvascular circulation, cerebral brain
temperature,
thermography and Infrared may make it quite clear that "philosophy" is just
a brain
dysfunction and you do not understand either yourself or others.  This would
especially
apply to those that write it, rather than those forced to read it.
Religion is certainly
a brain dysfunction.  I think people like Peter don't want to come into our
lab and
put his brain on a slab.  You can read is reply and he makes no scientific
references.
