It has been so interesting merging the depth psychological world of image and dream with the world of the "hard sciences." They fit together so much better than people may expect. Our research capability in many ways is just now beginning to catch up to the deep cultural knowledge passed down through myth and ritual. I wrote a paper (that I'm going to clean up, and probably post here at some point) about the "story basis of mind"--how our brains neurologically use story frameworks in order to create meaning of our numerous sensory inputs. I really find it all fascinating!

And you're right--I think using Steemit as a brainstorming laboratory could be very useful!
