Coming on nearly a century ago, Wittgenstein tried to reduce all
philosophy to linguistics (aka word games) and anything else couldn't be
spoken about.

Today philosophy, psychology, and religion are trying to be reduced to
mere neurology. Neurology as philosophy is truly suffocating and
oppressive. There can be no free will and no moral agency. We are all
diminished to being monkeys who hit each other with bigger sticks. There
can also be no hope.

People like Paul Churchland claim that "folk psychology" will eventually
be replaced by a future neurology.
That includes more than just free will; it includes thoughts, feelings,
love and hate.

Thank God I won't live to see that. It sounds like the world where
Terminators get sent back to eliminate opposition.

the belief in the ignorance of experts" (The Pleasure of Finding Things Out,
p.187). published in The Physics Teacher, volume 7, issue 6 (1969),

As to psych, I have tried to synthesise in

Further you have to understand the incentives. It behooves politicians to
hijack religion, psychiatry, economics, just about anything. Math may
provide fewer incentives, but they try there, too. You should not use this to
ignore that there are genuine truth seekers in each of those fields brave
enough to hold on. Newton, Darwin, Einstein would all freak out how
politicians try to infer conclusions they never intended.
