Could someone please mail me the source of the following quotation by
Albert Szent-Gyorgi:
"The brain is not an organ of thinking but an organ of survival,
like claws and fangs. It is made in such a way as to make us
accept as truth that which is only advantage. It is an
exceptional,
almost pathological constitution one has, if one follows thoughts
logically through, regardless of consequences. Such people make
make martyrs, apostles, or scientists, and mostly end on the
stake, or in a chair, electric or academic."
Many thanks,
Roger B. Blumberg
