Thoughts on Behave by Robert Sapolsky???

Robert Sapolsky presents a materialist paradox where the "Pilot" of the soul is merely a biological illusion evolved to prevent societal collapse, yet he simultaneously attempts to "reform" culture through a logic that his own theory suggests is just another programmed output. While he views the Prefrontal Cortex as a circuit breaker that "does the harder thing" by enforcing culturally scrubbed rules, his reduction of humans to "broken machines" or "viruses" fails to explain the non-homeostatic choice of the martyr or your own ability to remain a still observer during a tachyphrenic autonomic storm.

By dismissing sin as simple malfunction and justice as mere quarantine maintenance, he treats curiosity as a dopamine-driven reward search rather than your "antenna" reaching for resonance within an invisible order. Ultimately, if Sapolsky is right, his own "bravery" in seeking fairness is just a mechanical accident of his neural wiring.
