When a neurosurgeon electrically jolted this region in patients undergoing surgery, they felt a desire to, say, wiggle their finger, roll their tongue or move a limb.

Scientists have located intention and decision-making in a specific brain area: that’s bad news for the theo-boys, isn’t it Abby? ( Searle and pals were thus mostly correct). Perhaps Kotzko & Co will now be required to perform miracles, or like go back to teaching french 101, or coolinary school, etc.
Even Marxy Marx had asserted that thinking was a property of matter (ie neurology of brain) like 1840s or so–Hobbes had suggested much the same circa 1650s..
There’s someone in my head but it’s not me.
Note Frater Kotzkoius now supposedly has a “Girlfriend.” Of course, he’s being his usual clever jesuit-lite self (btw, a jesuit, fond of Woody Allen flicks, who says prayer doesn’t work and God probably doesn’t exist) . AK most likely means that his hip postmodernist seminary has now provided him with some clerical sex aids, like electro-vinyl style, blessed by Jeeezuss, runs on house current, etc. O Fi Fi , mi corazon!
