A hip replacement, a 1950s flatworm memory experiment, and a 1957 quantum physics paper keep landing on the same question. Cells turn over at wildly different rates, no clean seven-year cycle, so what stays the same across a lifetime that keeps replacing itself?
Three unrelated fields agree: it isn't the material.

🧠⚙️ #Brain vs. #Computer – Why the #Analogy Falls Short
Is the human brain really just a biological supercomputer? A metaphor that, upon closer inspection, falls short by a wide margin!

A drum with no myth attached and a metronome in a rehabilitation clinic can produce the same physiological event. My new piece for Materia looks at what ritual drumming, trance research, and zazen agree on once belief gets subtracted from the equation: the form does the work, not the story wrapped around it.

The Witness
Once, I went searching for ghosts. Now, I search for something quieter. The places where humanity still whispers. There is a difference. Ghosts ask us to wonder. Whispers ask us to listen. I have found them beneath weathered stones, inside forgotten prisons, among ancient earthworks, and where the tide quietly returns what the sea is finally willing to surrender.

The Junkyard -sivustolla mainio Angelica Kaufmannin kirjoitus länsimaisten tehokkaiden ihmisten vieroksumasta tavoitetilasta eli tyhjämielisyydestä,
https://junkyardofthemind.com/blog/2026/6/7/when-the-mind-goes-blank
"Mind blanking... is a window into the lower boundary of reportable experience - the point at which consciousness becomes thin enough to look like nothing at all, and that may not be bad at all".
Kuten nimikin vihjaa, tuo on kaukana mielitäytisyydestä (mindfullness), mutta kytkentä esimerkiksi todelliseen lepoon voisi olla ilmeinen, https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/japp.70003?campaign=wolearlyview. Tuossakin lepo on suorittamisen antiteesi.

The Self
A bicycle isn't its wheels. It isn't the frame, the chain, the person pedaling, or the road. Take any one away and you don't have a broken bicycle but something that was never a bicycle to begin with. We point at things and say that's 'it'. That's the self. That's what's real. But every time you reach for the thing itself, you find it's made entirely of other things, which are made of other things and somewhere in that regression you either panic or you start to find it funny. The self […]https://ridiculousbharath.wordpress.com/2026/05/12/the-self/

💻 #Functionalism – Why it doesn’t explain #subjectiveExperience 🤕
In the #Zoomposium with #ThomasFuchs, it becomes clear why alternative approaches such as the concept of #embodiedconsciousness are gaining increasing importance. Instead of reducing the #mind to mere #informationprocessing, the focus here shifts to the interplay between #body, #environment, and #experience.

#Meta researchers find more support for #BoundedReflectivism: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/meta.12534
A "slow" transformer model (reasoning chain + solution) outperforms a "fast" (solution only) model, but a dual-minded model that automatically switches between fast and slow modes performs as well as the slow mode, but with fewer reasoning steps — i.e., reflective reasoning was beneficial, but sometimes not worth it: https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2410.09918
