A Great Blog on the Mind
DrSteve writes a great blog called The Top Two Inches. (I don’t know what he is a doctor of, sorry.)
He covers a wide range of areas about the mind:
“In alphabetical order: neuorology, philosophy, psychiatry, psychology, psychotherapy, social psychology, social theory, and so on.”
He covers these things not as separate areas but by dealing with [...]T.I.N.A. is dumb
