“Elon, go back in the pool”

“Go in the pool”

furiously clicks pool

“Elon, it’s pool time hehe”

I think it’s important to point out that the bicameral mind is one theory, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true. One of its major criticisms is that it suggests consciousness only arose in humans around the time we started writing about it, and that it didn’t exist in humans before then. It’s also entirely possible that humans were conscious way before that, but when we started writing about it was just when we developed the cultural concept of what consciousness is.

The theory also seems to imply there is something special about human metacognitive processes compared to other animals, which would therefore imply that animals are not conscious. That seems weirdly reductive when various non-human animals show some evidence of self-awareness (mirror spot test, Alex the grey parrot).

It’s a nice theory which ties lots of things together, but it’s no more true than any other theory of consciousness at the moment.

Might be a dumb question, but if it’s blue-shifting surely we wouldn’t know it’s far away in the first place? I thought the amount of redshift is broadly how we determine cosmic distances?

Yup. The elderly generally do not do well with:

1. Major surgery
2. Immunosuppression

And they’re asking for repeated episodes of 1 and possibly 75 years of 2. I’d be all for letting them slowly kill themselves this way if it weren’t for the fact that every organ they use is an organ that could’ve been given to someone who actually needs it.

Hello wise one,

I find the Earth’s gravity of 9.80665m/s² a bit much. Sometimes my back hurts from standing too long, and the general weight of existence sits heavy on my shoulders.

Can you make it a bit more comfortable please. Maybe 9.80664?

I’m not in the US, but here in the UK I made the switch too.

I went from Windows PC + Windows laptop ~2 years ago to now having a Linux PC (ZorinOS), Samsung tablet and a home server running Proxmox with an Ubuntu VM for Docker.

Never been happier with my setup. The grass truly is greener over here.

Thanks! 🙏

Patreon is a good idea. Do you mind me asking what kind of extras someone like me might provide for subscribers?

I’d been thinking offering higher quality image versions, .blend files if people want to open and mess with the scenes themselves, models I’ve made, etc?

I have a linktree with options for tips and places to buy my work, but no premium content or anything yet. Just relying mostly on goodwill if people like my stuff 😊

Thank you so much!

Not currently. I’ve made an ArtStation account but not uploaded anything there yet. Currently I just post my work to Instagram, Lemmy, Reddit (ugh) and Mastodon 🙂

It’s on my to-do list though for sure

As someone who works in psychiatry and frequently administers cognitive tests, his comments are hilarious.

The hardest question on the ACE-III is getting someone to remember a name and address for about 15-20 minutes whilst you get them to do the other tasks - mostly repeating sentences after you, naming objects, following simple two-step commands and other things which anyone without dementia should be able to do just fine.

“Aceing” the test is just doing things that pretty much anyone without cognitive impairment should already be able to do.

The best time to enjoy the flavour is during the two 5 minute advert breaks, which will occur at 5 and 10 seconds into your fluoride wall-licking experience.

Our father… great guy. The best guy really. And he says the same about me. I hear it from people close to him all the time, he says ‘Donald Trump, great guy, not like Biden’… And he lives in the sky, can you believe that? Right up there, with the planes… The great American planes… Boeing. And you know where they’re made? I’ll tell you where they’re not made… China

Or something like that anyway

With great power comes great corruption and tyranny. So begins the dark era of Terahertz

And a maximum of 2g/day if you weigh under 50kg (which not a lot of people know).

And this rising potency is a direct consequence of cannabis being illegal. Producers are breeding stronger and stronger strains with higher THC content and lower CBD to get the most bang for their buck. This is true for all illicit drugs, as they tend towards becoming more potent when they need to be smuggled (e.g. why fentanyl is often added to heroin, as it delivers more potency per gram).

If you legalise and regulate it, suddenly that pressure is taken away. Cannabis is produced in consistent and known strengths, distributed in packaging that clearly states the potency so people can make informed choices about what they take.

Makes sense, thanks for clarifying!

Surely if presidents are able to appoint supreme court justices, there has never been separation of powers? And is that not a big part of why we’re in this mess now?

I have an infinite number of rooms, so I’m putting two monkeys in each room with two typewriters.

Now I can do it in half the time.
