How can the Economist say something so controversial yet so brave? Seriously it sounds like a Victorian era headline like 'Boffins Question Galen's Theory of Humours.' Maybe the story is that there is a religion hangup. Like, maybe the economist isn't ready for a story like 'billions of people believe in an afterlife that isn't real' and this article about consciousness is just warming up the crowd. We're taking baby steps here.
