Hey guys,
After ruminating on "Neuropath" for about a year, I finally wrote a blog for HowStuffWorks.com about the semantic apocalypse. It's not an in-depth discussion or anything, but it's spawning some interesting comments from readers. One neuroscientist has chimed in, as have a few people on the relationship between Bakker's apocalypse and what Buddhists call enlightenment. If anyone here wants to contribute, here's the link:

I've actually tried to contact Bakker through Overlook to try and see if we can wrangle an interview with him about various sciencey issues, but I haven't heard anything back yet. I imagine he's knee-deep in crafting the rest of the Great Ordeal right now, so I suppose he's fine where he is. 
Anyway, please forgive the shill, but this is where all the Bakker fans are and I know a number of you guys are heavy into philosophy.
