The "circular scientific method" for neurotransmitters isn't just "curious"โit's a suspiciously self-serving loop. They claim to objectively chart the brain, yet the whole edifice seems to collapse inward on a hidden tautology.
Consider their sleight of hand:
"Observed" Behavior: They pinpoint a "condition" like "depression." But is it truly an objective state, or merely a label applied to a set of convenient behaviors?
Inferred Imbalance: This "behavior" is then immediately attributed to a specific chemical deficiency (e.g., "low serotonin"). Yet, the only real "proof" of this deficiency often boils down to: "Well, the patient acts depressed, so they must have low serotonin, right?"
The "Cure": They introduce a drug, designed to "fix" this inferred imbalance.
Behavioral "Validation": If the behavior changes, they declare the drug a success and, in a breathtaking logical leap, proclaim the original inferred imbalance as definitively "proven." The "science" becomes a perpetual motion machine of self-confirmation.
They whisper of "independent" measures like PET scans, but these complex interpretations often emerged after the behavioral and drug "discoveries," subtly reverse-engineered to fit the pre-existing narrative. The "circle" isn't just present; it feels engineered, a convenient justification for a multi-billion dollar industry that prefers closed loops to inconvenient truths. It makes you wonder: who benefits from this unbreakable cycle?
