By comparing the hippocampus of a patient suffering from episodic memory to that of a healthy person of the same age, Professor James Brewer can determine whether the patient is suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease. Trouble is, to manually assemble the 256 hippocampi MRI images, it can take an entire week. Or he can run NeuroQuant on his iMac and get a statistical report in about 8.5 minutes.

القادة .. أنواع ..
هناك من يمهّد الدرب لنفسه فقط ..
و هناك من يمهّد الدرب لنفسه .. ثم لإبنه من بعده .. كما نرى في مسارح العالم الثالث الصدئة ..
و هناك على النقيض .. من يمهّد درب الورود .. لعرقٍ بأكمله .. لأقلّية مستضعفة .. كان أقصى مناها يوماً أن يُسمح لها بالجلوس على مقعدٍ خالٍ في باص عمومي .. و أن لا تُجلد بسياط التفرقة العنصريّة أين ما ثُقِفت .. و لا يُبصَق في وجهها متى أخطأت ..
و تمر ٤٥ سنة فقط .. هذه ٥٤٠ شهراً فقط .. هذه ١٦٢٠٠ يوماً فقط .. ليست من عمر الجيل كثيراًً ..
و اليوم يُضرب لها سلام الولاية على الرجل الأبيض .. من الرجل الأبيض ذاته .. الذي كاد أن يلقيها يوماً طعاماً مهملاً للقروش في عروض الخيل .. و كاد أن يفنيها بألوان عذابه و إمتهانه .. اليوم .. صار الذي كان عبده بالأمس .. سيده .. فهذه مشيئة الله ( وَنُرِيدُ أَن نَّمُنَّ عَلَى الَّذِينَ اسْتُضْعِفُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ ) تنحني له الدول إحتراماً .. رغم أنف من أبى أبيضاً كان أو أزرقاً أو شفّافاً ..
هذا ليس درساً في الأحلام و تحقيقها فقط .. و ليس درساً في العمل و وصول النتائج مع الوقت فحسب ..
بل ..
إنّه درسٌ في الديموقراطيّة الإسلامية .. في ( الناس سواسية كأسنان المشط ) .. درسٌ لا يّعاد كثيراً في المساواة .. لن يَفهمه الجبناء ..
فلا نامت أعينهم ..
ولا حَلُمَت ..
و أكادُ أسمع تلك المسيرة الحاشدة الأسطوريّة .. عند نصب لنكولن التذكاري .. بعد ٤٥ عاماً .. تقول بصوتٍ واحد :
نوماً هنيئاً .. مارتن ..
قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ مَالِكَ الْمُلْكِ تُؤْتِي الْمُلْكَ مَن تَشَاءُ وَتَنزِعُ الْمُلْكَ مِمَّن تَشَاءُ وَتُعِزُّ مَن تَشَاءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَن تَشَاءُ بِيَدِكَ الْخَيْرُ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ﴿آلعمران: ٢٦﴾
هناك من كان يعتقد بأن نتائج الإنتخابات محسومة سلفاً للرجل الأبيض .. و أن الإنتخابات مجرّد مسرحيّة هزليّة لا فائدة منها إلا إيهام الشعب الأمريكي بأن له دورٌ في صنع القرار الوهمي .. لا أسمع لهم صوتاً الآن .. أين ذهبوا ؟
عزيزي العربي .. ساكن العالم الثالث .. إن كنت تعتقد أن ( الإنتخابات ) الرئاسية الأمريكية كانت مجرد مسرحيّة .. فربّما عليك وضع تركيزك ( الإنتخابي ) في مكانه الصحيح .. في الأشياء التي تناسب تفكيرك مثل ( إنتخاب ) ملوك جمال الماعز و الأغنام و بقيّة البهائم السارحة بالجوار .. و دع ما للشعب الأمريكي للشعب الأمريكي .. فالشعب الأمريكي ليس مجرد بهيمة تسرح حيث أمرها الراعي .. الشعب الأمريكي يعرف حقوقه و مطالبه و يعرف كيف يطالب بها دون خوف .. الشعب الأمريكي شعب متمدّن .. يملك رأي عام فعلي و دستور و قوانين و لوائح مكتوبة يعرفها الصغير قبل الكبير .. فإن كانت هذه الكلمات أكبر من تفكيرك .. فلا تحد عن عصى الراعي .. و استمر في رضاعة لبن المراعي .. و كلّما سمعت كلاماً عن الحياة و الحرّية و الرأي .. تذكّر أنك مجرد مواطن عربي .. بلا قيمة أو داعي ..
و إسعى .. يا ساعي ..
