It is always hard to understand Gilbert when he writes something original. He goes way over my head especially when he assumes the role of a humorist on Goanet. As far as I know, the only person who understands him well is George Pinto. So please forgive me if I am misunderstanding him again in my observations below.
Gilbert has written two back to back humorous posts on the "Evolutionist Kevin" thread. If I understand him correctly, in these posts he is claiming that the Greek philosopher Pythagoras in 500 B.C., some Christian theologists and also Gilbert's own grandmother who was Greek and nicknamed "Mauxi", had already discovered "configurations of the electrical activity of the brain". Gilbert also accuses Selma and me of not providing references of the original articles of Pythagoras, of some unnamed Christian theologians, and of his grandmother Mauxi, from the Wikipedia or Google. He then implies that because Pythagoras, Christian theologians and grandmothers already knew everything about the mind and the brain, spending 50 million on modern neuroscience research is a waste of money. Finally, he asks us to apologize for having commented on his abusive remarks against Kevin. In other words, Gilbert wants me to apologize to him because I pointed out that it might be inappropriate for Gilbert to publicly deride Kevin by suggesting that he lived under a rock in Canada.
