IIT is like the string theory of Neuroscience.
Lots of people putting weight behind it, but also with a degree of hubris similar to the string theory guys of the late 90's. But just like string theory, it also has a lot of fair criticism and is mostly still in the hypothesis phase.
- axblount 2y agoThe key similarity between IIT (integrated information theory, for the uninitiated) and string theory is that both are unfalsifiable. Hubris can be forgiven. Unfalsifiability can not.
