> Not sure why you'd want answers, that's the domain of religion
Ha perhaps I should have been more specific - I want correct answers!
And I want answers because a) I'm interested, and b) answers to scientific questions tend to let us make new cool things!
I'd like to suggest comparing observations from Merleu-Ponty and late modern neuroscience, perhaps Bear et al, Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain (pick a previous edition to get it cheap).
