Bone apple tea!

This dude got me.

This is so dumb it's almost brilliant. If you go to a job, you're working class. If you make rules, you're the ruling class.

People represent it origins as far older. And by doing so, claim a more authentic mode of being in the world.

Sadly it's been a week. I've read this several times as closely as I could and tried to understand where my apprehension lies. I spent some time with the wiki link to counterfactuals and wanted to really dedicate more time doing so, but wasn't able to dedicate the time to it.

So, again, to restart the conversation, I wonder if, I have two separate confusions. The first, if consciousness is a property that is weakly emergent in brains, what is a brain?

I think I have a hard time buying that consciousness is a property of a brain and not mind. And I get that you are not trying to prove that it does. I'm far more interested in why, in the face of minimal support, we would align ourselves with weak emergence over strong emergence.

I have a lingering second problem. What is a model? In that wiki link, it has a three layer model: association, intervention, and counterfactuals. I would be hard pressed to consider the first two layers as sufficient for bing considered a model. But I think the three layer model doesn't, as far as I've read, address intention, causal connection, or first order simulation. I think I'm hard pressed to see a collection of cells, neuron or otherwise, doing more than creating a response to a condition.

After last years was cancelled, I wasn't sure if was happening this year. Apparently, a split in the org means there will be two this year.

How do you split that baby?

American malls were inspired by the town square, if I remember correctly

Do you not get the meme... It's funny because it's true.

Instead of measuring out your pasta, have you considered switching to Linux?
