I don't think that will help as you don't seem to understand my point.

Show me evidence of your point. Show me men's brains not bigger, dont have more grey matter, don't connect differently.

@NurtureMyBaby Philosophy does not tell us whether men & women have anatomical differences in their brain. Neuroscience does.5 replies 5 retweets 12 likes -

What if philosophy informed by anatomy could predict neural correlates? Would philosophy then be a science?

Would it still be philosophy? Or would it be a scientific hypothesis? I don't know.
