    From the "Mind's I" to the "Strange Loop," this episode challenges you to see yourself not as a collection of cells, but as a self-reinforcing pattern of information that has mistakenly concluded it is a solid 'thing'.

    Description: In this provocative 40-minute deep dive, we deconstruct the "bio-chauvinistic" bias that insists consciousness is a monopoly of biological cells. Using the "Domino Logic" thought experiment, we explore the paradox of downward causality—how abstract mathematical truths and high-level desires can physically dictate the behavior of microscopic atoms.

  21. Are You the Carbon or the Pattern?

    In this 55-minute podcast, we explore Douglas Hofstadter and Daniel Dennett’s The Mind’s I. We are moving beyond simple biology to ask the ultimate question: Are you the physical atoms (the Carbon), or are you the information moving through them (the Pattern)?

  27. Over the past year, I’ve been writing a series of thought experiments on wave dynamics, perception, and anomalous phenomena.

    They’re not scientific papers - they’re invitations to think sideways. Curious? Good! 👇

  31. Discovered via Calishat Snaps: Monkeys.zip. From the About page: “Monkeys.zip, aka The Monkey Project, is a live, crowdsourced experiment based on the Infinite Monkey Theorem. If you haven’t heard of the Infinite Monkey Theorem, it goes something like this: Infinite Monkeys on Infinite Typewriters will eventually write all the works of Shakespeare. It’s a thought experiment that’s been […]

  37. A lemmy discussion about some GTA exec wanting to price games based on per hour value got me thinking, what is the per-hour value you are willing to pay for entertainment?

    I guess there could be a consensus in terms of percentage of income but is there a specific dollar-value that can be calculated as a baseline?

    I am so sad to hear about Þis.
    1) almost makes me want to do Þis to some of the MegaChurches. but someÞing tells me Þe response would be a bit different between Þe two.

    Not Þat I ever would, as an experiment...
    and I know 2 wrongs don't make a right.
