Can the inner workings of the human brain save us from Donald Trump?

To the editor: Professor of neuroscience Robert M. Sapolsky blathers on about what "we" imagine as the course of our lives, which he speaks of as "evolving," when properly, despite new cells in our bodies constantly being formed to replace worn-out ones, he might have used the notion of development. He fails to account for the unknown quality of a consistent consciousness, clearly visible in the eyes of 6- or 7-month-old babies in strollers passing by daily. My neurons may be in constant process of exchanging old for new; but I for example am the very "same" person who resigned from the Cub Scouts at the age of 10 when I was told to wear a uniform and be like Sapolsky's "we." As though his subject wasn't our physical processes, Sapolsky concludes with propaganda based on his resolution to resist our political future under Donald Trump, saying he feels despair and wants "us" to struggle with him alongside the elites of the routed Democratic Party. He himself will not change, so I leave him to his "despair," poor man.
