What we are learning about neuroscience, human cognition, language development and brain structures is some of the best work in the history of science. That emotional recognition is tied into deep brain structures or learned easily and early, rather than being a developmental thing tells us a lot about evolution and the human condition.
The kind of anti-intellectual anti-science bent you are on is the kind of thing that conservatives need to remove from amongst them root and branch if we are ever to escape from the liberal disease, because this kind of stubborn pride in being ignorant scares a lot of people. It scares the hell out of me for one.
I agree 100% in that we need to pursue science.
Where the money for the research comes from however is a perfectly valid question.
Wow relax. I actually thought it was fascinating work being I have a 16 month old myself. I can relate to the story. My statement was pretty tongue and cheek.
I’m not some thumper who doesn’t believe in scientific research, I went to college in that environment just a few years ago. It’s just for every one of these studies you have 20 useless ones eating up grant money and state tax dollars.
