 This week I found it interesting that many people did not agree with the idea of loopy science as real science. I realized that if I never worked in a lab, I would likely think of the linear science as the definition of science. It comes down to the way science is taught to people in comparison to the way science actually produces the knowledge. If students were forced to look at a microscope slide of cells instead of read about cells in a book, what difference in their view of science would occur, if any?

Furthermore, I find it strange that we use our brains to question the way the brain works, it seems counterproductive.

All humans have brains. Most of our brains are anatomically the same. The neuronal connections are most likely the same.  If we think of our brains as the physical matter, then why/how are we different from one another? Is it really just differences in the firing of the neurons that distinguishes me from the rest of you? To me this fact suggests the thing that makes us have different personalities, and individuality is the idea of a mind(soul) separate from the brain. On the contrary, one could argue individuality in personalities arises from the environment.
