Ah, the intersection of psychological science, philosophy, and history. A good place to spend some time.

@Pergaminoart Happy Lovely Big Bush day!

I 100% agree with the meme...
ALSO... putting my pragmatist hat on...
Ah, that fits well, where was I...
As an old-school pragmatist, I can assure you that all existing things are cognizable. Hence, anything defined as un-cognizable is dismissible as word salad.

@Josh_Merfeld Oh, that's easy. It's about being able to relax your.... lower regions... It's a measure of how easily the aliens will be able to probe you when the time comes.

@KimptonNye "has conscious experience" or "has exactly as much, or as little, conscious experience as you would have, were you in its place"?

@JonathanLittle @PokerCoaching_ @dpeterspoker17 @ShannonShorr @Chris_D_Brewer @AdamHendrix10 The PLO course is a great start for non-NL content. Super helpful!

I branched out because I got in on a really splashy invite-only game at the MGM.

@Neuro_Skeptic Mine bitcoin 🤷
Early-career me had access to some killer computer labs.
Also, don't waste time believing NSF and NIH about high-risk high-reward grant programs. They don't actually want anything risky.

@ArrayManta @keithfrankish If someone is willing to argue that rocks are conscious... then no...

Anyone last minute holiday shopping?
My youngest just finished setting up an Etsy shop. Hand painted dragons, winged dogs, etc. Check it out:

@BurmanPhD @CaAl Seems likely that's some of it.... but... most of it... that seems to gloss a good chunk of the relevant research (in which introducing a placebo helps more than doing nothing)

I don't know what hindsight bias is, but it can't be that bad. Every time I remember being accused of it, turns out I was right.

@C_A_Bakker I think it's got something to say.... ;- )

[Realism_Inc @EPCharles]

@C_A_Bakker @PsychScientists do you think this kitten sees an affordance for which it does not yet have a capacity - Yes - , but that it “knows” that it may someday have? - "know" is a bad descriptor - Or is development less linear? - oh yes, it is not very linear at all -

These are the right questions.

@bitterkarella Matrix Reloaded had the potential to be the bridge movie in a super good trilogy. I enjoyed it. Once you get past the repetitive dialogs, you see that it added a lot of quirky depth to the world.
The third completely failed to deliver on anything it had set up.

[Realism_Inc @EPCharles]

This is hilarious, and accurate.
(If you are offended, I will note that pretty much all the campuses *already* open just fine without pragmatists, ecological psychologists, and comparative psychologists... so that's where I stand )

@C_A_Bakker Of interest, I'd imagine....

The paper takes a few pages to get warmed up, but is quite interesting after that.
