    Psychology exists somewhere on the boundary of language and biology, and is thus not entirely penetrable to biologic investigation.

Ah, makes sense, and a bit different from what I was saying. I don't completely agree, but that's because my current attitude towards the brain is still: "we hardly understand any of it!" Who knows, maybe the things we refer to as thought loops will actually turn out to be giant interconnected loops of neurons signaling each other. Maybe emotions may turn out to have a purely and predictably physical basis. But it's still all maybes in my mind.
