That's a good website though, i'll bookmark that and show it to hippies when they try and give me herbal tea.
Relatedly, I watched this interview with richard dawkins and nicholas humphrey (prof of psychology) which is notable for both an interesting look at what our brain can do and also for dawkins basically going 'yeah, but it's all bullshit and trickery when you get right down to it, isn't it?' and the humphrey going 'well, no, it works'
Edit: should've included the link uk.youtube.com/watch?v=e1AQPue7FEM&feature=channel_page
