And what, pray tell, does a Physics and Math Forum use the internet for? Sharing cooking recipes? Consider the logic in what you just posted. How do you know this is drivel? Do you have all the answers to these questions? Are you more qualified than Anil Seth in this scientific discipline? Have you actually listened to the lecture and thought about it's content? I have and I consider Seth a worthy scientist at the level of Descartes (Brain in a vat). If you are not familiar with Anil Seth's work , perhaps it is you who might learn something! I suggest you take 15 minutes of your valuable time to learn something of much greater value than your apparent current knowledge of the subject . Anil Kumar Seth (born 11 June 1972) is a British professor of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience at the University of Sussex. You may want to check out Seth's credentials first, before you question his knowledge on the subject. This guy is no charlatan. These kneejerk rejections of new "advanced science" irk me to distraction. How dare you posit a outright rejection of content (complete with proofs), without knowing what Seth is even talking about? He is a legitimate scientist and has the credentials to prove it. And you call yourself a scientist? I call that prejudice based on a "rigid belief system", almost like religion. Not very conducive to the advancement of science. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anil_Seth
Write4U, let me apologize for my use of the term "drivel". Mrs QH, who is a neurogeneticist assures me that cognitive neuroscience is a perfectly respectable branch of non-medical neurology. Whether a neuroscientist's words are relevant in this thread s, of course, another matter.
Thank you, and please convey my regards to Mrs QH .......Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! I agree, it does not. Unfortunately it was necessary in response to another's criticism about my use of the term "belief" in context of having confidence in peer reviewed science ....
