[ExI] Why Physics Needs Philosophy

[William Flynn Wallace]

Anders: (Want to design a good neuroimaging experiment for some "higher"
function like consciousness, moral behavior or suffering? Get a philosopher
into the experiment design team - neuroscientists often tend to have too
simplistic models of what an experiment can tell about the mind.)

Hey! What about psychologists??  What do philosophers know about the mind
other than what they can dream up?  Experimental philosophy, my jackass.
That's called psychology!!
