But we are making progress with the weather! Weather predictions are vastly more reliable than they were a few decades ago. Even if the brain is chaotic, that doesn't mean it's not understandable. And it doesn't mean it's not manipulable (a word I like better than "controllable").
It may mean we need to think about controlling it on different levels.
Moreover, we control brains all the time. As Bill Newsome has been saying in his public talks --- There are two ways to get him to get up and run out of the room. You can either manipulate all of the neural firing and molecular states to move his muscles in the right way. Or you can tell him "your wife's on the phone and it's an emergency." Both of these are ways of controlling brains.
