Should I even consider considering a pHd in something like neuroscience if writing is not my strong suit? Massively insecure around questions of writing and planning the future.

Not sure if writing will be a reason for concern within neuroscience. What sort of research/area of neuroscience are you considering?

Man if I'm really honest it's a whole host of insecurities. Ability to persevere, raw capacity, the fear of being lost in my own sense of grandiosity, reasons for doing it, possiblity of goal.

I've gotten to work near some truly top of field folk doing science and psychological work. When you do real science the results are staggeringly robust and leveragable.

If I had to articulate the goal it would be a unified subjective and objective science around personal/transpersonal development inspired by Buddhist and contemplative traditions.

I already know theres so much to the contemplative traditions. I just dont know how you catalyze truly society wide change in a western context without science.
