It works the other way around, Luc. You and William would have the creators and appreciators on the forum believe that neurology is telling us useful and enlightening things about aesthetics.
William is indeed a layman, we don't tell him he must have looked on neurons bare to say anything worth listening to. As apparently distinguished from you, we believe we -- and he -- can learn things about biology, physics, astronomy, etc by reading the writings of scientists. William is convinced by what he's read that neurology is saying useful, enlightening things about aesthetics. Okay, we've asked, what have you read that conveys what aesthetics insights? William tells us nothing. Instead, he refers us to "authorities" like Zeki. We go to Zeki and find that he himself, in spelling out his biggest discoveries, has nothing whatever useful for us. The closest he comes is saying he is "studying" the connections between neurons and "art". Your last suggests you indeed have "first hand knowledge" of "neurones involved in an aesthetic experience". So what have you learned about the things listers having been asking? But of course you don't know what listers have been asking, because you haven't read the pertinent postings. You've been busy "working". Your last was evasive and disingenuous in a way I've come to expect from you. I remember our collision on the forum many months ago. I came away from that encounter convinced you have neither the intellectual power nor the intellectual honesty to make you worth considering. This latest serves to confirm that opinion. ************** One site keeps you connected to all your email: AOL Mail, Gmail, and Yahoo Mail. Try it now.
