Default Re: Best brains composed of conflicting modules.

You've now written several posts while not following up on a previous post where you committed to a clearer statement of your thoughts about discrimination.
This is because I can quickly write responses in this thread, while it will take a while longer to sit and think about my next post on discrimination (I'm delaying my response out of consideration, rather than neglect - am bogged down with work at the moment and will be free again in less than 2 weeks).

I'm not trying to turn this into a competition - only asking you to flesh out some of your one-off comments. Judging from the language below . . .

. . . it seemed to me that you at least partially disagreed with the perspective or approach of the L&P paper (I understand that you don't think they're wrong, but the language suggested a concrete objection). I saw a potential point of discussion, and so asked for more justification.

I doubt I will be as composed or as erudite as Todd anytime in the near future (or ever), but I am very much interested in the issues at hand here.
