The origins of this article are in my partial transcript of the live June 2011 debate between Robin Hanson and Eliezer Yudkowsky. While I still feel like I don't entirely understand his arguments, a few of his comments about neuroscience made me strongly go, "no, that's not right."

The "his" in this paragraph is very ambiguous. Which of the two does the lack of neuroscience knowledge apply to?
