      Exactly. But why spend time figuring out where the verbal trick is when one can move on to moving science forward? Opportunity cost. Sesardic was correct he he noted that some of the most important work of philosophers is defending science against other philosophers...pic.twitter.com/8BdsAFY2C0

      Philosophical ideas, including those of Fodor, played an important role in the cognitive revolution and the development of evolutionary psychology. Sometimes philosophy can make a positive contribution to science.

      Being useful *for scientists* isn't the only way of being useful. The proof of Fermat's last theorem doesn't help solve scientific problems—it's just a feat of logic that's valuable by the standards of mathematics.

      I think Fodor's argument was dumb and only got attention b/c he was famous—not going to defend this ex of philosophy. But being clear about the logic of scientific theories is a kind of knowledge valuable in itself, that may be only indirectly useful for practicing scientists.

      Fodor strikes me as fairly typical anti-science philosopher with some special breed of autism for this particular concept. No working scientist need pay attention to these anti-empirical conceptual arguments. Fodor doesn't seem to be a commie, though.

          Nathan Cofnas Retweeted Simon Baron-Cohen

          Fodor played a major role in the cognitive revolution and had a lot of influence on working scientists (e.g. https://twitter.com/sbaroncohen/status/1033667714857017344 …). But after he became senile he came up with this foolish anti-natural selection idea and because he was prominent some people took it seriously.

          Nathan Cofnas added,

          Simon Baron-Cohen @sbaroncohen
          In case you missed this obituary of the philosopher of mind and theoretical psychologist Jerry Fodor. His contributions highly influenced developmental psychology, and moved the broader field of psychology away from behaviourism and into cognitive science https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/dec/06/jerry-fodor-obituary …
