Robert Milton

In this timely, but controversial book, Dr. Robert Milton offers new scientifically oriented explanations for the events of 9/11 and 7/7. The attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and London mass transit, says Dr. Milton, represents an unsavory historical summit - a kind of new age - related to genetic, neurological, and psychological motivation. The Golden Age of Terrorism is upon us! The why, he answers with compelling succinctness: is because we learn to believe before we learn to think. While he gives a realistic nod of acknowledgment to economic inequities, abject poverty and exploitation of Middle East oil as contributors to Terrorism, he pursues - to a logical scientific end - what he calls a still more basic cause: the motivations of belief. While Western Imperialism, the US support of Israel, and the war in Iraq capture the headlines as primary causes of todays Terrorism, Dr. Milton demystifies the myriad of alleged causes put forth by politicians and the media - even agreeing with those who say the emergence of Islamic extremism as a result of Quran teaching, is preposterous. True! Says Dr. Milton, it is not the words of any scripture - Christian or Muslim - that cause the problems of Terrorism. It is belief in interpretations of them. To instill a particular religious belief as the prime motivating directive is the goal of terrorist training. How such beliefs obtain and remain within our nervous systems is the subject matter of this book. The tendency to believe, this book asserts, is hardwired into the human nervous system. The content is not. Perhaps, we have no more choice about believing than we do about the color of our eyes. The cultural, psychological, and neurological basis of belief is explored and exposed, revealing one enlightening twist after another. Even the chapter on intelligent design, which Dr. Milton, as a scientist, advocates, reveals still another point of view. Terrorisms Golden Age is timely update on the sciences related to malevolent human motivation.

Straight from the Top

New genetic and brain scan research has created a revolution in modern scientific thinking regarding the human brain. Recent neuroscience has clearly demonstrated that repetitive rehab, or what Dr. Milton calls neuro-nastics can and does change specific physical brain structures (enlarging or shrinking). As a shortcut Dr. Milton calls such changes - brain nodules. He goes on to ask and answer the question: Do nodulized individuals (or more precisely their morphed, physically modified brains) have the capacity to abruptly change thought direction without considerable amounts of new content loading? (e.g. neuro-nastics, think Rehab). If peers, parents and mentors have repeated the same information spiel or indoctrination, (repetitive rote learning, reoccurring experiences, hours of mumbled prayers, drumming, dancing, juggling and a myriad of other habitual behaviors and/or thoughts), Dr Milton says, It is unlikely that such individuals would be able to entertain or even see another point of view because physical tissue changes in his or her physical brain tissue may not allow it. , Free will, Positive thinking, Womens rights, Religious Science, Evolution, Immigration and Addiction are just a few of the timely topics covered in your FLEXXIBLE brain.
