@KiraPoskanzer @VincentTse Gonna be wild as the field figures out apparatus to watch ever closer to the heart of astrocytes’ computations, and it turns out that all neuronal activity is just ms-scale epiphenomena of astro decision-making happening at the minutes-hours scale 🤪

@KiraPoskanzer Perhaps the glue computes!

@SamAdlerBell Participation in a certain shared reality has an enlarged moral salience, and that reality’s fragility is terrifying and can’t be acknowledged. Non-comprehension then is a moral failing, rather than a reflection of a fundamental human experience.

@lisa_gunaydin I had an MCAT practice question that asked “What part of the brain does a person use when looking for their car in a crowded parking lot?” The answer, apparently, was “Left parietal lobe”. 🤦‍♂️

Access to psychedelics is limited. Should we act as a society to change structures, train providers, finance therapy, paid leave, etc in order to get people these transformative treatments? Er, no, let’s just make the med more convenient for capitalism 🙄 https://t.co/YzAFXe5pgx
