Guest speaker: Bruce Damer

PROGRAM NOTES:


[NOTE: All quotes below are by Bruce Damer.]

"What  Damasio is showing is that people who, in the lab, get a huge amount of cognitive stimulus all the time start to have no access to the emotional part [of themselves] at all. They can’t store to it, and they can’t retrieve from it. They become what he calls emotionally neutral."

"So if ANY crisis arises you have the wrong people [in charge], probably, because the things that put them there, and the constituencies that wanted them there, create a person who is incapable of handling a real crisis."

"If you want a future, you have to take charge of your own thoughts."
