<p>I do think there is plenty of room for individual
growth/transformation in one lifetime and perhaps Psi research
will (continue to) provide yet-more tools for facilitating that.
<br>
</p>
<p>It isn't clear to me that merely loosening up neural pathways so
that they can be re-created yields healthy growth as such. I'd
like to think it can be, but as the neo-luddite that I tend
toward, I can't help but seeing the myriad ways it can go wrong as
well. This negative ideation is probably a self-referential
example of the topic itself.<br>
</p>
<p>Following RECs original subject: I'm interested I suppose in
understanding more-better the myriad scales and dimensions of
adaptivity of "Life Itself", with the human (individual as well as
cultural) experience being the one most relevant to my own life,
but not exclusively.</p>
