The snag for me here Orn is that I just can't agree that there is no focus on the observation of mind in academe or even if I restrict that just to science, though I'd agree this is the case in the dross, populist bits of academe increasingly part of the mega-billion international education industry. My guts say charlatan watching this guy - I don't like his micro-expressions and general 'wide-eyed' approach. I would not fashion this into an argument without knowing much more. I don't go much for arguments starting in incommensurability claims and disliked the build-up Alan was given (such stuff always reminds me of Saturday Night at the London Palladium). Of course, I regard almost all 'notable' academics as charlatans (the best are too busy getting on helping where they can). Didn't spot the humour and there seemed little depth other than some clear emotional play. I much prefer you Orn.
