Back in the day, when the blogs were young, one of
the gods
decided to travel the world incognito as an incoherent mumbler. A certain
phonologist regarded this as an
imposition, and devised
a scheme
whereby mortals would never have to
worship incomprehensibilities.
This angered the gods, who cursed the professor to spend
eternity rolling a stone uphill only to keep having it fall back
down patiently debunking reactionary appropriations of neuroscience as
carefully as though they were actual attempts to advance human knowledge, and
not meretricious myth-making. (An incomplete sampling of episodes, in no
particular order except for the first being the most recent:

But one
must imagine Liberman happy; the alternative is too terrible to
contemplate.
