Psychology, ADHD, genes, dogmatism.

Psychologists have made a brain-related discovery that could revolutionize doctors’ perception and treatment of attention-deficit disorders (ADHD). This discovery opens up the possibility that environmental and/or genetic factors may hinder or suppress a specific brain activity that the researchers have identified as helping us prevent distraction.

Free will sacrificed for the sake of gene-based determinism.

We are becoming slaves to our fate.

But maybe it is not our fault.
Maybe it is in our genes to be stupid.

Psychology without the “Psycho”.
Psychology without the “Logos”.

How convenient.
The path of stupidity is always the easiest one…
And, by the way, has a lots of money.

I call it Intelligence Deficit Disorder.
And I hereby order all psychiatrists into specific treatment for it.

Repeat after me:
“Humans are not their genes”
“Humans are not their genes”
“Humans are not their genes”
“Humans are not their gen…

    Interesting. So what is your stance on psychology? Should it involve something beyond brain chemistry and the genes then? Or: What’s your opinion on the mind/body problem?

      Many questions there! 🙂

      Regarding psychology, yes I believe it should steer itself towards a new viewpoint, where our Self is more evident as the immaterial existence it seems to be rather than a simple expression of “complicated matter”.

      And regarding the mind/ body problem I stand with the solution Chomsky proposed. “Mind/ body problem? But there is no body!” 🙂 Everything is the result of our thought, matter included…

      What do you believe?

        I’m not sure. I think we don’t really understand consciousness, but I think the number one fact we have to take into account is that there *is* consciousness which is hard to explain by reductive materialism or eliminative materialism. Personally I think that the authors of ‘irreducible mind’ (emily kelly et.al.) raise some rather important points during this book even if one might not agree with everything in it.
