[!@#$%!]

oh, the generative grammar thing dates all the way back to the 60s, maybe even earlier-- by the 90s he had moved on to politics-- east timor, manufacturing consent, that sort of thing.

but yes it is a cognitive neuroscience at this point-- which i why i linked you that lab. i met david poeppel when he was in maryland. he was already saying then what his 2015 study showed-- there are neural correlates to a generative grammar. see: https://www.nyu.edu/about/news-publi...-our-head.html

beyond that, looks like the brain is more or less kantian with his apriori categories. i.e., tabula rasa is utter shit. even though skinner taught pigeons to play ping-pong.

we're more hard-wired than we like to think and that is exactly why marxism failed-- you can't really indoctrinate the "new man" of the revolution into existence. we're hardwired hierarchical beasts and it's the same old shit always with us-- which is why you can read sumerian tablets and totally relate to their pursuits.

same as it ever was

okay, enough free-association from me for today
