He (whoever he was) is now a professor of neuroscience of some sort. Up until age 30 he took a lot of drugs...acid, pot, heroin, methamphetamine, opiates, crack and so on. At age 30 he had some kind of crisis or epiphany and stopped. There was legal stuff. He wrote the book about looking at that history with the neuroscience he now teaches in mind. He was good on mind/brain and free will vs biological determinism.
We had 3 years of rain and now Australia has decided to have no rain and plenty of heat. Luckily the fires have not been bad.....just 100 houses in Tasmania and some grass fires, but not those fearsome eucalypt fires. Couple of months to go though.
