Though I also agree with
@neuroconscience, in that I've also seen neuroscientists dismiss the problem, or even claim they solved it, while evidently they did not understand the problem or what even could count as 'solving' it.1 reply 0 retweets 5 likes -

I didn't mean to wade into a specific debate about the hard problem. I have respect for it, and also for substantive critiques of it. Less so for the 3-pints in 'let me tell you why philosophy is all rubbish' attack : )

Only slightly less grating than the 'I'm a hardcore computational neuroscientist and I believe philosophy is just people making stuff up in flowery language, also my epistemology is about 300 years dated' bloke.

The funniest/most puerile takes I have had to contend with come from people who thinking "just doing science" isn't going to involve making theoretical/philosophy of science decisions.

Um, what do they think making stuff up is if it's not neuroscience? The brain making connections and solving problems is what it's all about, it's the thing that ties social sciences together

I had someone tell me yesterday that social sciences aren't real science because they aren't falsifiable
