From the review of "Memories.." "interprets his disease as enlightnenment."
I mean apt or what????
I suspect it's a stage of those around you coming to terms with your brain injury...more than one person said as much to me...although my Sensei just wanted a note from my doctor saying it was OK if I got hit in the head.
But beyond that, that phrase pretty much sums up a distressingly large chunk of political dscourse.
For maybe 15 years, I got my haircut by George at the barbershop at the local YMCA.l
George had a small TV tuned to Fox News, which inevitably sparked political discussion. George's clientelle included local politicians, movers and shakers, working stiffs, more brain damaged guys than you would think, Y residents, street people...in short pretty much a cross section of the males using the Y.
George certainly had opinions, and was not shy about sharing them, but he also was the faithful keeper of the "Brain of the Barbershop" - the accumulated wisdom of all his patrons, refined as each customer opined and then heard what The Brain had so far decided.
It's hard for me to see this as a bad thing.
George retired, and now my wife cuts my hair. So I come here, searching for the Brain of the Barbershop.
@False Witness
From the symptoms sometimes exhibited here, you may be right. I know that reading this blog sometimes makes me dizzy too.
