from a Nature interview…he’s not giving enough credit to neuroscientists, of course, but still makes a good point:

Nature: Why are you skeptical about genetic explanations for human behaviour?

Wolfe: So many neuroscientists have become gnostics — convinced they see things the rest of us can’t see because they’ve had a revelation. They have a secret: what we call ’soul’, ‘mind’ and even ’self’ must go into quotation marks. There’s no ‘me’ inside of me. We are machines programmed at birth; we think we have free choice but we don’t. But none of this has any scientific basis. As Delgado’s son has said, we are not two miles down the long road of understanding the brain, we are two millimetres, and all the rest is literature.
