    What? Neuroscience has a lot to do with Mitchell’s argument.

          Are you unaware that confirmation bias in science is real?

            I am aware it’s real, but I’m not aware why it specifically applies to Mitchell.

            Do you not like his conclusions? Because that would be confirmation bias - on your part.

              Indeed it would be! Delighted! Perhaps you’re correct.

              ETA: Some religious institutions don’t interfere in research. I think I’ma but gunshy in the states with “Bob Jones” graduates and the ilk.

                LOL, fair enough!

                And don’t worry. Trinity College, aka the University of Dublin, is the top research university in Ireland. It is the Irish counterpart to Oxford and Cambridge, and it was founded by Queen Elizabeth I, not the church.

                  Tbf, the Ivy League schools were in the admissions bribery scandals. I’ve nothing against Trinity, ( but I’m leaving my comment for transparency). I’m probably just skeptical having been ruled by the Talibangicals since Gingrich.

                    Yes, I deleted my comparison to Harvard. Its most relevant peers are Oxford, Cambridge, and a few other schools in the UK. There is even a program for reciprocal granting of degrees.
