Is this true, though? Is it true that irregular behavior “automatically implies an irregularity in the brain”? What does “an irregularity in the brain” even mean, if anything?
For example, Ron Paul is a libertarian, which you might call “irregular.” But, he’s also Christian, heterosexual, married with kids, gainfully employed, a Buick owner…in other words, a great deal of his behavior is “regular.” So how could one meaningfully speak of an “irregularity in (his) brain”?
What about this hypothetical:
Suppose that, in twenty years, libertarianism becomes so widely adopted that it constitutes the dominant ideology. Would it make any sense to say that “irregularities in the brain” just disappear once enough brains become “irregular”?
