That's your highly prejudicial opinion. Fundamental assumptions, forcing patterns and a narrow mental focus have helped us get this far. These are features, not bugs. You need to make some sort of case, based on hard evidence, that there is some advantage to changing the functions of the dominant species of the planet, specifically regarding the methods it has used to become such. And you need to demonstrate why individuals should suffer the attempts of busybodies to rewire their brain, to their own personal advantage. My prejudices and hostile responses might make me less pleasant to deal with, but you have to prove the advantage to ME in changing that scenario.

All this stuff looks like is excuses to keep a rather silly branch of pseudo-science in government grants. Neuroscience should stick to solving actual problems, not aesthetic ones. Psychology should sit quietly until someone asks its opinion.
