>Maximizing the amount of well-being is morally right
>How do I know this? Well, I'm rational, logical and scientific
>Here are a number of strawmen that help me make my point without actually exposing it to substantial criticism
>Reading philosophy makes the universe as a whole more boring, and as such does not contribute to maximizing well-being

He thinks he solved the is-ought distinction, but of course he didn't, instead he made a very basic error in logic. It's very embarrassing. That comes from someone who enjoys his podcasts, as his selection of guests and topics is very solid. He just shouldn't try to tackle any grandiose projects, like solving ethics.

Holy shit. Even if the methodology and results were valid (it wasn't and they probably weren't) it's not a huge fucking surprise that religious people will have a more emotional reaction to religious statements and drawing any conclusions about reasoning from it is inane. This must be the single worst article I've ever seen published in PLOS ONE.

"Neuroscientists" are just failed Neurologists or Psychiatrists.

Also, most of them (and definitely this dude from what I've read there) don't understand the basics of phenomenology and so most of their reasearch is just a collection of correlations with little practical insight or value.

[Anonymous No.16295629]

>>16295599
Neuroscientists never start out trying to become doctors, because it's a completely different educational path. Neither do they need to know any phenomenology, because it's not relevant to their methodology. Most of their research is crap though, but because most of everything is crap. Don't shit on an entire field because of one clown.
