        @SamHarrisOrg @TheAtlantic Actually, your tweet is confusing. Is the article itself confused, or is it explaining brain/mind confusion well?

        @SamHarrisOrg There are 2 subjects here correct? How the brain physically works and how we use it? Or how it uses us? Oh man...

        @SamHarrisOrg The key is the understanding behavior of organism in relation to the environment. Reinforcements and punishments of envmnt.

        @SamHarrisOrg The problem w/ today’s attempt of understanding freewill is the belief that mind/brain are key to understand human behavior.

        @SamHarrisOrg and to find out why you think she's confused, I guess, I'd have to read your book "Free Will", which I haven't read yet...

        @SamHarrisOrg @TheAtlantic She leaps to divorce mind from brain, but that suggests attacking mind viruses from both ends, not a bad idea.
