Just started In the Woods, by Tana French, recommended by a friend in a #mystery reading group. First in a series. A detective in a Dublin murder squad gets a new case: a young girl’s been murdered. It happened where 2 friends of his had disappeared & never found 20 years before when he was a kid. Never solved, that case appears to him in flashbacks as he works on the new one. Are they connected?🤷🏽 We’ll see. Riveting. #recommended #bookstodon

Another area in the study of #consciousness that has been almost entirely ignored by #science is the #unconscious. Partly because it’s difficult to study, but also due to a political bias against the unconscious because it’s not productive. Psychology’s left it to the realm of psychiatry and therapeutic methodologies. Yet it’s always there, plugging along behind the curtain. I’ve found meditation and drawing to be useful in diving into my subconscious. Haven’t done either in years, alas.

“A World Appears”, by Michael Pollan, is a tour de force recounting of the current state of our millennia-long attempts to define and explain #consciousness. Since Plato’s cave (and likely before that) thru #Descartes’ misguided duality, to today’s attempts at #AGI, we’ve made some progress, but really there is still no consensus on what it is and how it happens. Pollan covers it all clearly and concisely. #recommended #bookstodon

If an #AGI were to emerge from one of the labs working on such things, and it claimed to be conscious, on what #legal standing might it plead for protection against being turned off? Would it necessarily have any right to do so under current law? #askingForAFriend

“#Consciousness is a labyrinth from which there is no exit.” —Michael Pollan, A World Awakens, A journey into consciousness.
#bookstodon #whatImReadingNow
An exploration of the current state of research into the Hard Problem: what is consciousness, how does it happen, why does it happen? The main reason it’s so hard is that our only tool for exploration is our own consciousness. -
I’ve never watched the show but for no good reason I’ve been binging #AGT clips on YouTube for about 3 hours. This is the most amazing 13-year-old I’ve ever seen anywhere. https://youtu.be/2nphaUTFcuM?si=iSkuZnMoEOhlMeRE

I’m watching the Australian #WILTY and just heard a linguistic tidbit: American booger = Australian goober. That’s all. Carry on.

#muddledMaunderings of a doddering fool. Caveat Emptor. In which an old dog teaches himself a new trick. Mrs Joe and I grew up with gas stoves in our homes, and cooked for 40+ years on our own gas stove. Nine years ago we bought this house and an electric stove with a glass top. I’ve been cleaning the stovetop 4-5 times a week, depending on how splashy whatever we’ve been making was, so, give or take, 2300 times since we moved in. (1/6)

Here’s another one for the #oldPeopleOfMastodon. It’s a clip of #PeteTownsend doing the #ColbertQuestionnaire on the #LateShow. Commenters were calling it the best CQ of all. Dunno about that—I don’t watch it regularly—but I thought it was good. There’s one bit where Stephen pulls a nono on Pete. He’s an old man, don’t be putting him on the spot to remember a lyric to a song of his you’ve just recited. He couldn’t come up with it. Stephen cued him. Just don’t do that.

Her I was, thinking Putin’s abortive war against #Ukraine might be the trigger to WWIII, but it seems to be not working out lately. And now ol’ Donnie boy is trying to pull off a copycat job at #Iran with the same 2 day, I mean 4-5 week, I mean 3-4 month oops multi-year “plan” that’s blowing up (heh) into another #foreverWar. Maybe between the two of em they can pull it off and get the whole world into it. #Eisenhower knew what he was talking about 70 years ago.

There’s a lab in Buenos Aires where they #clone #horses for polo. A typical mare will play for 5 years & then retire to breed, producing 1 foal a year for maybe a few years. With cloning and surrogate bearers way more horses can be bred from a single dam that has desirable physical and mental traits.
