Chet Shupe is an electronics engineer who once suffered profound
Attention Deficit Disorder (A D D). With A D D, social relationships baffled
him. After years of bewilderment and depression, his condition was finally
diagnosed, and effectively treated by the drug Ritalin. Suddenly, at 43, life
made sense.
Shupe emerged
from A D D with a unique perspective on the human condition. His engineer’s
mind forced him to ask basic questions about the brain’s purpose, how the mind
is organized, why feelings exist, the origin of good and evil, the true
dynamics of every relationship, and how all of this relates to our happiness
and to the wellbeing of humanity.
For years, Shupe has pursued his inquiry with passion and conviction,
ranging far into the intricacies of the modern social contract, to question how
well it is serving us, both individually and collectively. As a scientist, he
bolsters every conclusion with logical and compelling examples. As a person of
feeling and intuition, he expresses his hopes for humanity with genuine
compassion and sincerity. As a whistleblower to the world, he speaks with
urgency about the need to rediscover our connections with our own Nature, if we
are ever again to experience the contentment of sisterhood and brotherhood that
is our natural heritage.
