Sorry, I read the first sentence first, and so experienced a minor full-body orgasm. It didn't particularly vibrate, though - I don't have a clear enough picture of what that's even supposed to mean, possibly.
Apparently I didn't pay close enough attention. On the other hand, if enlightenment doesn't fix the really obvious flaws in our brains, it would make it more unlikely that it fixes the less obvious ones. I mean, come on, it should at least stop Asch's conformity experiment from working, right?
