Never trust someone who wants to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge or tell you how neuroscience explains it all.  Both are scams, though in the latter case someone might actually be sincere.  That doesn’t make them any less wrong, though:  some of the most dangerous ideas in history have been very, very, sincere.

Today’s lesson in bad brain comparisons is taken from the New York Times op-ed (April 12,2013) “What the Brain Can Tell Us About Art.”
