Jonah Branding is a Dual PhD Candidate in Philosophy and Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior at Michigan State University. He specializes in the history and philosophy of biology and is currently focused on publishing research regarding Freud's perspective on human nature. He challenges the notion that Freud, as a Viennese Lamarckian, should view human nature as malleable. Additionally, he is collaborating on a review paper in Bordeaux about cellular taxonomy and the implications of single-cell RNA sequencing. His current reading list includes a philosophical work and a French novel.
Sigmund Freud, as an early 20th-century Viennese Lamarckian, should take human nature to be highly malleable, leading to a paradox in his views against this idea.
While working at the University of Bordeaux, I am developing a review paper that clarifies points of disagreement in debates over single-cell RNA sequencing and cellular taxonomy.
Currently, I recommend reading Occam's Razors by Elliot Sober for its thought-provoking ideas and insights into philosophical discussions around simplicity in explanations.
