My Two Brains ... and Yours
More than a bit off topic and 20 minutes long, but worth it.
In all honesty, brain trauma is the only thing that really scares me. I might not like to be crippled or scarred or ugly, but being incapacitated mentally would be a true horror, especially if I knew what I once was or couldn't express my inner thoughts.
Being Stephen Hawking would be a hell for me, and he's not mentally damaged, just trapped by his lack of easy expression.
This was a good lecture. I wonder what someone with right brain damage would have said.

I'll stay over here in my left brain, thanks.
