Reality check
A very young cowboy had an idea.
Having a long time interest in how the brain works, I scheduled a sophisticated brain wave test with The University of Colorado Medical School.
The plan…run a test while I listened to an hour of reflective, spiritual music.
Follow that with an hour while I watched a politically oriented news propaganda tv show.
The director called to cancel the test a week before the start date.
I asked her what her gut told her about the potential results of such a test.
Her comment sticks with me to this day….‘ one test would undoubtedly reveal a brain similar to people canoeing on a beautiful, high mountain lake. The other, would be like being dropped off in downtown Washington D.C. for a weekend. You’re excited as you’ve read that the swamp has diminished only to find that the city ranks 4th. in the country for rat populations.’
I’ll let you figure it out and I don’t think any costly test would be needed to feel the truth.’
What do you think?
