Today (and yesterday) at Mindful Hack:

Today (and yesterday) at Denyse O'Leary's new blog on the neuroscience controversy over the real existence of the mind, Mindful Hack:

http://mindfulhack.blogspot.com/

1. Freudian analysis "not science": In real science, things are given names because they have value- hence the words "atom" and "molecule." In Freudian psychoanalysis, things have value because they are given names "Oedipus complex," "castration anxiety" - and only because enough people have been convinced of their value.

2. ""This is anti-science," says Anita L. Nelson, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of California at Los Angeles. No, she is not talking about ID here, but about a women's health clinic that combines high tech methods with respect for the teachings of the Catholic Church. Remember this when materialists claim that they are not "against" other faiths. They are.

3. John Searle on the hard problem of human consciousness (hard if you are a materialist): "We know from high school physics that in presenting an equation you have to be referring to the same dimension on both of its sides. The equation one dollar = one hundred cents can work because both sides are sums of money. But you couldn't have one hundred cents = one month, because cents and months are in different dimensions. Mind and brain appear to be in different dimensions, because mind has qualitative subjectivity and brain does not."
