From: "stevphen shukaitis" <stevphen-AT-mutualaid.org>


speaking of neuro type stuff - has anyone seen anything from harry halpin
(or know how to get a hold of him)? he presented something at the renewing
the anarchist tradition several years ago on "neuroanarchy" where he tried
to connect ideas about the decentered nature of the human mind to a
philosophy of mind and to base a form of political practice from that. it
was somewhat odd, but interesting. i don't know if I would or could buy
into biological type explanations or neurological research providing some
sort of basis for thinking about political praxis (would seem that it
would be into the whole scientific deterministic type trap that Marxism
falls into, even if in a different form) - but it certainly was a breath
of fresh air from the usual types of arguemnts that occur.
