Thanks for the insight on Japanese culture Madness.I should re-read this one with my new"insight on Japanese culture" perspective
What`s your take on the assumption he makes that if you remove counciousness,you remove doubt.If I remember correctly,that was kind of his conclusion on the matter right?

Have anyone in here read his books? I would love to hear your opinions on his quite controversial ideas

I read this book earlier this year and It literally blew my mind Itoh touches upon so many aspects of human progress,but I will not spoil anything for Mr Madness who is about to get started. I will mention my favorite detail about his version of the future which was the visual information pop-ups over peoples heads I can totally see that one coming,since humans seem to be pretty obsessed with sharing intimate details about anything to anyone these days(facebook,etc). Regarding BBT I haven`t read much about that theory yet,so I leave that discussion to those who know what they are talking about
