The video is hilarious.

 

I hope you all recognise that Mishkin  (the Ranter) is just a behaviorist. 

 

I have never understood how any scientist could be anything BUT a behaviorist.

 

How is banging on about mind any different from banging on about soul, or aura, or the Great Unknown?

Subject: [FRIAM] Beat poet defends the scientific method

I can imagine Doug putting on an Aussie accent and ranting like this:

Somewhat NSFW, but a spirited defense of the scientific method nonetheless.
