Yeah.
Um look, uh I I I have uh read your stuff since the nineties, uh the developmental neuroscience papers, uh especially the cross uh species neural transplants and things like that.
Uh I thought it was incredibly interesting.
Since then, I mean, there's been some amazing uh developments uh that the that you've uh that you've led.
Um the you know, incomplete nature and the the focus on the origin of uh and the importance of semiosis, I think is absolutely critical.
And uh, you know, um all your ideas about the the the tearing down the binary kind of Cartesian dichotomies, I mean I'm all I'm all all uh all on board with that for sure.
Um the flows between form and function.
I mean, there's you know, I could go on and on, but but all of this, this, this, this, this merger of these deep ideas between um philosophy, evolutionary biology, developmental biology, I find um cr absolutely critical for progress.
So yeah, so thank you for doing all that.
Yeah, yeah.
And d and Dan talked about your work a lot, you know.
Um yeah, for for me, uh there's a few things.
Um
He was he was always uh
to to to to me he was he was an incredible example of um somebody who wanted to uh understand things in a in a fundamental way that um was you know the the the the the things he said about uh that there is no philosophy free science there's only what do you say there's only side with science where you smuggle in the you know philosophical assumptions without examination right so so that I think is very was was very critical and his
His his commitment both to really clear, uh uh concise, um rigorous philosophy and the the the data, you know, the the experimental work that that is necessary to revise your philosophical outlook is is very important because I I find, you know, in our field, um
I find a lot of the times uh when when when I you know I give these talks that are partially this kind of philosophical stuff and partially data.
And and some people some people say, okay, the data are great, the experiments very good.
Don't talk like all this philosophy stuff.
You don't need it.
