A. "Reflexes" alone doesn't account for the measured data. Cognitive neuroscience indicates there's more going on there. B. Thanks for considering proof. I chose not to go into academia because of the exact kind of emotional reactions new ideas get in places like that. At least some naysayer on Reddit can't cut my funding because he's arbitrarily decided everything I said was bullshit. This is exactly why I posed it as I did. I used the colloquial term theory (if it was capitalized then it would be "scientific theory" and if it was capitalized that was an error) to indicate it was my own hypothesis. That being said, I've had enough confirmation from great minds over the years I'm not too banged up if you think I'm the next L Ron. His ideas got him rich after all. C. "Measurable thoughts" is a dicey term. There are several conventions for measuring electromagnetic signals and neurotransmission in the brain. We can also measure alpha, beta, delta, theta waves through EEG. These fall squarely within the realm of neuroscience. ...which I have an interdisplinary degree in. D. I don't need it. E. Who says I'm not recognized?
