The original title of this blog was - "Nerve Science Is Nonsense."
Perhaps many people would say that I should have stuck with that! :)
If I say "X,Y,Z is NONSENSE!" then it may be true or partly true.
But my purpose in affirming that may be to try and get others to EXAMINE whether
the view ("x,y,z is nonsense") is correct or not!
RHETORIC is about HOW TO PERSUADE!
Science IDEALLY should be free of rhetoric!
The current title is maybe more RHETORICAL, DIPLOMATIC and CONCILIATORY and hence will persuade people to do what is important.
ID EST - CONSIDER FOR THEMSELVES (in the light of anything this blog may add)
if, how and why "Nerve Science" MAY be nonsense!......
"The important thing is not to stop questioning,"
Albert Einstein.
"The important thing is not to stop questioning EVEN WHAT YOU THINK YOU ALREADY KNOW!"
- is an addition that would perhaps be made by the sceptic filosofer,
Francisco Sanches (1560-1623),
author of
"Quod nihil scitur" (On How Nothing Is Known), 1581.
