Ever hear of Mirror Neurons & how they associate (or do NOT) with autism?
← Nice 3 min. intro. HERE
A Radical Theory of Autism - VS Ramachandran
easy definition of Mirror Neurons → "Monkey See, Monkey Do" (or "drivers of pretend play")
Also notice how his focus is on "curing" autism (even by using pharmaceuticals).
Since we are also on the topic of the brain: Almost all current therapies, drugs & cures for addictive behavors involve increasing the alpha wave activity in the brain,
blindly following the voluminous Leading Academic Research which concludes that increasing alpha wave states lead to a decrease of addictive behavior.
However, look what happens when alpha waves get too elevated:
"If your beta activity is suppressed, or your alpha activity is increased, you may suffer from ADHD or depression. An overabundance of alpha waves can also lead to anxiety. "

Which sounds much like a description of a large portion of American pop, especially in the urban areas.
Do you know what else activates a high alpha wave state?
>Mirror Neurons → "Monkey See, Monkey Do"
So They create the Addictions, then they provide the "Cures" which results in anxiety, depression, ADHD & docile desires to monkey mimic what they see others doing or saying, like Those Others on the TV & Movie Screen, for instance.
Which lead to more instances of addiction. Vicious Circle?
