A New Yorker cartoon – clearly, I don’t know what it means, but its provocative!


Cartoon taken from a New Yorker article. Its a long read, but an interesting one – & something to do with neuroscience and mind.  These days, there are tons of (bad/poorly written) coverage on neuroscience, but this (from 2007) stood out to me.

TL;DR, or my inference w.r.t mind-body:
Neuroscience (scientific, just not far enough along yet) > Philosophy (abstract) > Psychology (mostly guesses/theoretical).

PS: surely, a zen mind trumps them all; but I wouldn’t know that 🙂
