I love hearing this from a researcher. Good science is not dead.

from https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html:

> If the title includes the name of the site, please take it out, because the site name will be displayed after the link.

> If the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."

> Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.

This was a big torpedo of GWT and IIT back in 2017. And it adds a big ? to Julian Jaynes. Something integrates this without the corpus callosom.
