Why bother with neuroscience when you can come up with speculative theories about how the mind works sitting at home in the comfort of your own armchairs? Who needs to talk about all those synapses, neurotransmitters, and neural networks when there are crashed wave functions to think about? Who needs to do experimental work when you’ve got an active imagination? Pity those poor fools who actually work in the behavioural and brain sciences and are involved in the serious job of finding out how the brain actually works. They just don’t get it do they?
