Neural Stone
Neural circuits create our desires, feelings, & behavior—stained with the possibility of self-destruction & deception—& once sculpted by socio-genetic forces, neural wiring resists a reform for good, like a stone.
Neural Stone aims to provide fresh ideas to define and defend the individual and institutional good in space-time.
Individuals
Why can a billion minds believe the idiotic ideas of one mind and act on them too-with a
delusion of free will?
How do good and evil ideas continue to live from one mind to another and create avoidable suffering across generations?
Why do the initial years of life matter the most for individuals and institutions, and why are schools failing us?
Why is self-destruction common in humans, and why have science and technology accelerated it?
Can we protect new minds from the dangers of ideological viruses and develop the ability to think?

Institutions
Why do we fight?
Why do biological and ideological conflicts are different?
Why do social solutions become a problem and lead to the self-destruction of a highly functional social system?
Why are social systems extremely complex?
Why do popular ideas of today fail to address the underlying socio-genetic complexity?
