Amanda Feilding, who this article is about, is a fascinating person. In the 70s she drilled a hole in her own skull (&quot;trepanation&quot;), then ran for political office to promote the benefits of that operation.

&gt; drilled a hole in her own head<p>Ok, you lost me. Anyone willing to do this is clearly outside of human average, and their anecdata is useless

How frustrating given that the rest of us have no hope of trying anything like this.

I mean, having science as an excuse to do LSD is a win already.
