• 1) Meditation 104: Brain Training -- RE: What an excellent Introduction to the philosophical understanding of our Mind and Emotion (ME) interaction -- or else, adversely Depression! (TalkingPhilosophyUK; November 4) [where my comment was soon removed -- obviously the readers of general philosophy there, were not quite ready for scientifically deeper issues, such as, psychology or psychiatry -- since it's short, let me just post a file copy of which en masse herein under for readers' convenience and scrutiny:

[RE: What an excellent Introduction to the philosophical understanding of our Mind and Emotion (ME) interaction -- or else, adversely Depression!

I thought Jeff Mason has accurately concluded above that "Perhaps integrating an awareness of brain chemistry and function into our self-understanding will contribute to the philosophical goal of self-knowledge." -- Or else, currently, prevalently, modernity-induced or self-inflicted and self-confused Depression (distresses mental, spiritual, or otherwise)!?

This is exactly a very hot topic in psychiatry today, that I have recently engaged in debating in the Psychiatric Times, here: “Coyne Battles Darwin, Many Other Evolutionary Biologists -- And Himself -- RE: What an excellent Rebuttal to Coyne's neo-Darwinist mis-calculus of Depression!” (PsychiatricTimesUSA; October 11).

Best wishes, Mong 11/4/10usct4:05p; practical science-philosophy critic; author "Decoding Scientism" and "Consciousness & the Subconscious" (works in progress since July 2007), Gods, Genes, Conscience (iUniverse; 2006) and Gods, Genes, Conscience: Global Dialogues Now (blogging avidly since 2006).]

• 1) Let's begin the Dialogue and Reconciliation of Science and Religion Now! -- RE: More on The folly of neo-Darwinism & Dawkinsism (or Darwinism as atheism fallacy)! (PhysForumEU; October 3) [where my post was obliterated on November 9; so said the Moderator (rpenner) who reasons that "Inappropriate use of fonts and colors and pre-formatted posts. Suspended 10 days. Post obliterated." -- Well, I would beg to differ: since fronts & colors are there for the formatting or editing for emphasis & clarity of the article. Indeed, it's a complex (research working paper) post (which classifies that mostly today's "evolutionary biologists" especially "armchair evolutionists" who have had trained & adopted unequivocally the Modern Synthesis of neo-Darwinism since the 1940s, have had suffered from a neo-Darwinist-bias syndrome, worldwide); and a lengthy article that may represent a breakthrough analysis on our current reading & thinking on and of the subject matter of the "neo-Darwinists vs neo-(ID)-creationists" fallacies (since the 1990s) that they (in each fallacy) have had defined & confined themselves so as to be in their each own mutually anti-social, anti-personal & pseudoscientific "intellectual vs spiritual" conflicts, in perpetuity & mentality (since the publication of Charles Darwin's 1859 evolutionary masterpiece "The Origin of Species"). So, let me just repost that recent & acute analysis en masse herein with the same title here: "More on The folly of neo-Darwinism & Dawkinsism (or Darwinism as atheism fallacy)!" (GodsGenesConscience:GlobalDialoguesNowUSA; December 5) for readers' convenience and scrutiny therein & thereof.]
