I watched his show for about five minutes before I felt violently ill and had to shut it off. I’d rather hear a neuroscientist’s explaination for why Americans are so invasive and disrespectful of people’s privacy just because someone happens to be a celebrity.

Other people can do it for us. We only need to work, to give lectures and to understand science and neuroscience.
