The good news is that we’re in a golden age of mind and brain research. Many scientists are now on a path forged by the data, rather than ideology, to understand emotion and ourselves. This new, data-driven understanding leads to innovative ideas about how to live a fulfilling and healthful life.
The idea that science can be completely free of ideology is scientism. I get what you're trying to say about past research being based on unfalsifiable assumptions, but science is not immune to reliance on unfalsifiable assumptions. Science *requires* some unfalsifiable assumptions (like causality) in order to be done at all.
