minds manifesto

 

I prescribe the reinstatement of consciousness, the full rehabilitation of the concept of mind – the most important organ we humans posses, the organ of socialising.  It is essential that every one appreciates quite how widely the mind is currently denigrated – it is arrogantly regarded as the weakest link, the feeblest feature, the least tangible, the most subjective, the one item for which there is no scientific evidence that it even exists – whence the above Papal Bull.  Yet in reality, it is the only one of our faculties which offers any hope of security, of realism or of the possibility of survival, let alone peace of mind.
