The loopy model of science creates accessibility and validity to all observations, while linear science is more exclusive and authoritative. This being said, I think the linear model has room to grow and become more open. Truthfully I think that the two models cannot be separated from each other; they are two ways of viewing the same world. I think there is more overlap between the two models than separation.

On the subject of Dickinson vs. Descartes, I agree with Descartes. Often times I send out a message to my brain to make a certain decision, and end up making the opposite decision, for reasons beyond my comprehension. This leads me to believe that more than the nervous system is at play. Issues of morality begin to surface. If it is true that everything is a construct of my brain, then the world around me should be much more predictable, measured, and consistent.
