Yeah, the issue with phrenology was the idea that you could read skull bumps. But you're right, atrophy of the brain often has some serious consequences, but by no means have we "mapped" the brain to traits. But the future is full of opportunity!

As for Socrates, it's more just that the dialectic method is a big contributor to the scientific method. Aristotle definitely developed it far beyond that.

Thanks for watching! :)
