Indian scientists ‘see red’ over a reincarnation discussion at the IIT Mandi conference on Mind, Brain and Consciousness at which I spoke last week (see below).

There was a breakout session on reincarnation, near death and out-of-body experiences which I didn’t attend. But I do believe reincarnation, NDE and OOBs are possible. Consciousness in the Orch OR theory occurs at the level of spacetime geometry, normally between the ears. But when the brain and body fail it is conceivable the quantum information dissipates but remains entangled as a ‘Quantum soul’. https://t.co/rSadYTaiQq There’s a fair amount of evidence from pediatric psychiatry. Kids recount details of past lives which sometimes correspond with birthmarks related to the cause of death.

I’m offering to debate any of the incensed Indian scientists, possibly at The Science of Consciousness conference in San Diego in October.
https://t.co/nmDUsktZvx on whether reincarnation is scientifically possible.
Let’s see if they chicken out like @davidchalmers42 @anilkseth and Christof Koch have.

Looks like the options thing is happening already!

See also: various people thinking through and building different versions of the idea in the thread: https://t.co/gFNEvCbHct

Though I do strongly urge that if any of these get on mainnet quickly, we formally verify it first. I hope @vyperlang and/or https://t.co/OMFlWRqJda folks ( @Fricoben) can help!

(Also, now is a good time to be thinking about robustness-optimized oracles)

用好 Claude Design 的一些经验：

1. 加上 Design System 可以有效避免设计 AI 味

比如我偏好用 Adobe Spectrum 2 Design System https://t.co/yc8wM0zSY8

设置为默认设计系统，后续就会默认使用这个设计系统，你就可以把重点放在界面布局和交互上。

2. 不要指望一次性做个完美的版本

一开始少做一点功能，把架子搭好，然后通过左侧的聊天框，一点点调整，一点点添加功能

3. 多用 Markup 功能去局部修改

Markup 功能可以框选特定的位置，然后评论，缺点是不能添加附件、截图

Edit 功能是给你手动调整的，选中元素左侧可以修改树形，比如调整一下字体大小

4. 注意上下文管理
左侧的对话框不是无限聊天的，也要做上下文管理，当新的任务就创建新的会话

5. 用 Tweaks 去尝试不同风格、导航
Tweaks 是一个设置面板，你可以通过它来调整应用属性，比如theme、布局、加载状态等等

另外如果你界面多，也可以通过 Tweak 添加导航，快速进入相应的界面而不必一步步点击

What if the very foundations of our cosmic theories are fundamentally flawed? To all the Physics lovers and curious minds, you have to check out this elegant discussion between Brian Cox and Nobel Laureate Roger Penrose.
From the true nature of the Big Bang and spacetime to Penrose’s mind-bending theories on how quantum mechanics shapes human consciousness, they question how radically our view of reality might need to change. https://t.co/tmlMehA6fH

More people should know about the Interfold.

It's basically what I've been yelling at people to build with the MACI ideas ( https://t.co/mlDy84zXQo ) for almost a decade, and now it exists, in a generalized form.

The idea is: a privacy protocol optimized for things like voting (and other use cases eg. secret-ballot auctions). The mechanism generates a threshold encryption key, and people send in their votes onchain, using a ZKP to prove eligibility. An arbitrary computation on the votes gets run inside FHE, and then threshold-decrypted.

From what I can tell (the docs are good https://t.co/adzwK6ezMN ), it gets pretty optimal security guarantees:

* Voter anonymity can be made unconditional if eligibility is proven with ZK-SNARKs
* Censorship resistance is guaranteed by ethereum (votes can be posted directly onchain, and there's a proof that all posted votes are taking into account)
* The correctness of the outputted result can be ensured via ZK over FHE
* Liveness and coercion resistance depend on M-of-N honesty; unavoidable given present-day technology

The main limitation is that today "ZK over FHE" is only properly available for additive vote tallying, as it's too expensive for computations that involve multiplication or other more complicated manipulation at the moment. There's work in progress on slashing-based / optimistic computation for such situations.

(And of course ideally in the long term we'd figure out obfuscation so you can get rid of the M-of-N committees😃)

Can we model Buddhist awakening with mathematical physics?

Our latest paper proposes such a model, using the quantum formulation of the free energy principle to formalise the stable recognition of emptiness.

Brains seem to be wired so that signals are “just right”. This paper argues that there is a special “sweet spot” in how the brain is organized that keeps activity balanced.

@StuartHameroff Neural activity seems to be coordinated and constrained by the electric field arising from all charged structures in the cytoskeleton, including microtubules , and processes like mechanotransduction, resulting from cytoelectric coupling https://t.co/yH4UXWbpgT

[Stuart Hameroff @StuartHameroff]

Carlo Rovelli correctly pushes back against the notion that consciousness is ‘above and beyond’ normal brain activities. Actually, consciousness is
‘below and inside’ what are considered the normal membrane and synaptic activities of neurons and glia, occurring in faster, deeper quantum nonlocal processes in microtubules. And qualia, according to Carlo’s colleague in
quantum gravity, Nobel laureate Sir Roger Penrose, occur precisely there, at the level of loop quantum gravity at the Planck scale.

That’s within the realm of science but still quite a hard problem. Carlo do you have a problem with our Orch OR theory ?
