LOST_SCIENCE_OF_ART

                                          January 28, 2012

Jonah Lehrer has compiled a list
of cases where the arts may have           JONAHS_COOKIE
beaten the sciences to The Truth.

Even if you grant his general thesis,
there's still another question:

Is this something that still happens?

   If you were a Proust with an interest
   in how human memory functions, would
   you go off on a years long journey of
   introspection, or would you simply         And start blogging
   begin reading some scientific works        about them?
   on the subject?
           
        Would a modern Proust really    
        be a neuroscientist, but    
        perhaps not a writer?
