If you are the conservative type, it is likely that you were lulled to believe all sorts of things about Donald Trump just because ”he was on your team”.

If you are the techie nerd type, it is likely that you were lulled to believe all sorts of things about Elon Musk just because ”he was on your team”.

I posted an #introduction but then moved to fediscience.org, so let me introduce myself again.

I'm a #computational neuroscientist at Boston University. I make circuit models of cognitive-emotional interaction in the #limbic system. I shifted to #Julia from Matlab recently (and I love it!).

On the birdsite I tend to post a mix of neuroscience, philosophy, history, math, literature and... not-quite-serious musings.

I'm interested in public scientific communication and education too.

@xkt334 We need to overcome our survival-first wiring of the #limbic system and the prisoner's dilemma in order to address the root causes of the overarching problem-complex of global equity/democracy and global economy/climate.
Since the French #revolution we are failing with the first. Now because of the stage of the second it is getting urgent to solve the first.
