no I was replying to Abeba's comment, looks like I misread it - thought she was saying a neuroscientist called the hard problem vacuous.

No, it certainly was a philosopher, prominent one... maybe even Dennett. I'll see if I can dig the reference

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.

Or those that think that poking mice with electrodes is sufficiently 'sciency' that laws of sampling variability and statistical power don't apply to N=9 between animal studies
