I’m trying to keep the entrance requirements reasonably low so that someone without a background in neuroscience and philosophy can still easily understand. But I most likely won’t be able to achieve that. There’s a lot of technical language, especially on the neuroscience part. Some of it I don’t fully understand. There’s much that I am still learning. From my experience, understanding the applications of neuroscience (such as that in Luke’s “Crash Course Human Motivation”) gets a lot easier with understanding the fundamentals. It lessens the “hazzy fog” experience.
I’m seriously considering your second suggestion. If it makes it easier for y’all to read, I’m happy to make the switch. I personally like the footnotes. But I’m writing this to help others, not for my pleasure.
I have loads of examples and stories for the neuroscience part. This post was just to give a lay of the land, so you can see where I’m headed. Whenever possible, I try to break down my work into smaller, more manageable parts. I’ve tried writing long essays before, and they just become a time sink.
