Great comments. My short version: Watching yet another neuroscientist driving boldly off a 3 meter board into an empty pool. The most impressive SPLAT was that of Sir John Eccles—-with his incredible idea of “critically poised neurons” that were sensitive detectors to quantum signals from the spirit world. The original post does a great job of dissecting the many problems of Sapolsky’s arguments and his lack of dealing with definitions of words he would like to debunk. Read Daniel Dennett instead of Sapolsky. Thanks, I love the Chomsky meta-critique above. Sapolsky’s book cover should include be a DALL-E rendering of Alfred E. Neuman and Napoleon discussing “their” battle plans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_E._Neuman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_E._Neuman
