It sounds fey, but it's not - Pollan isn't talking about conscious intent but evolutionary strategies. The chapter on marijuana is particularly compelling. His account of how the drug mimics the brain's own chemicals that enable us to forget - and why forgetting is an important function of the brain - is startling.
