Thanks for this Eva
I've read the article in english - the google translation is reasonably understandable.
I hadn't come across Kruse before, his video gave me a new way of looking what our online contributions say about us. Kruse is charismatic, a communicator. He explains complex ideas simply. I appreciate that.
In the blog post Martin Lindner characterizes Kruse's events as a dog and pony show for the uninformed. Using phrases like the `Church of Kruse' and `Professor Silver Tongue`. He calls Kruse a brilliant performer but Linder is an aspiring politico and media star in his own right.

Name calling and chest puffing aside, Linder's main argument is that Kruse may have an outdated or overly simplistic view of the limbic system. I wouldn't know. I appreciate him pointing that out.
Since he doesn't elaborate, I look to wikipedia, which for my purposes and despite it's faults, does indeed mention that our generally accepted ideas of the limbic system are evolving.

This thread probably belongs in the CCK11 course as it exemplifies, the challenge I have as an individual to sift through information for the purpose of drawing a reasonably accurate and useful conclusion. Much better accomplished I think, with polite suggestions and thoughtful replies.
Once again thanks for providing an alternative view.
