I'm sorry but your logic there is just completely flawed, every new idea and concept in science deserves a chance to be investigated and presented, and sure skepticism is healthy but it depends on the approach in which it is applied, without making any conclusions yourself unless you can provide a thorough explanation for the phenomena presented. Which seems to be the case with you, for some reason you are resisting further investigating the evidence of this viewpoint. Which leads me to ask, do you even know what concepts are being presented in irreducible minds? These scientists are presenting a well balanced argument backed with sufficient empirical evidence reasoning why mind might not necessarily=brain. |
Real scientists don't publish their work in "book in stores" - they submit the work to reputable journals. If the work of Radin and others was producing useful results, they'd be doing the same. Popularizers, like Dawkins and others, may write books so that non-scientists can understand what it's all about. Don't set up a straw man.
Yes, new ideas deserve to be investigated. But when they've been investigated for 20, 30, 50 years with no positive results, do you just keep on trying?
