They do think. It’s just that they’re bad at it. All the stuff they complain about is just in their heads.

I’m just glad I’m seeing the democrats start pushing back with the same vitriol republicans have used, and are finding out the other side is full of snowflakes who can’t take the heat. Good job, USians! One step in the right direction. Get down and dirty with it, it’s about damn time.

We are all manipulated to think a certain way by our garbage media diet and lackluster advertising regulations. It’s impossible to avoid the bs projected at us 24/7. I constantly have to drive by billboards with anti-abortion propaganda slogans on them…

This hurts, I got denied for a loan for a house a few years ago.

Seeing your reply out of context made me think “what did I do to get hatemail this time?”

I mean, it's not like we're the worst. Stromatolites completely fucked up the atmosphere and it's still full of poison billions of years later.

Same. It’s why I hate change. You know how much it hurts to regrow your brain? It hurts a lot!
brem@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
It really depends on the capacity for knowledge.
Most people (these days) can painlessly regrow a brain with just a few YouTube tutorials, viral videos & a couple of memes.

I’ve never seen an organic political stance before… that’s amazing.

Some of my colleagues fit the description. Been there for ages producing virtually nothing, and you can’t squeeze an ounce of thinkign out of them.

This is a great example in support of something I often think about. We see our consciousness as “me” and as “the thing in charge” of the body, but really it’s more of an ancillary subprocess that the body runs for its own benefit. It’s just a special subprocess that does its job best when it mistakenly thinks of itself as being the boss of the body.

Consciousness is 100% an emergent property.

Like why Reubens are so good. I don’t like salty protein, bread with caraway seeds, thousand island dressing or Swiss cheese, but fuck is a Reuben delicious.

I would be strongly emergent then. And strong emergence is basically magic.

I think that is a bit of a misleading way of putting it because the feeling being a “self” that is in charge of the body is an experience that is contained within consciousness rather than the essential nature of it; in principle, one could imagine having consciousness without any feeling of being a “self” at all.
If I had to define the nature of consciousness, I would say that it is essentially an internal simulation that the brain creates in order to aggregate information from various sources in order to facilitate processing and decision making. Just to be clear, this is not my own original idea, and more importantly I do not think that it is a particularly clever or deep way of thinking about consciousness, but rather the inevitable conclusion one reaches when one plays around with one’s own attention and awareness and sees what happens; the trick is just to do it like a scientist and be constantly challenging one’s own conclusions, rather than to invent one’s own version of chakras. I find it especially enlightening to watch what the mind does when one tries not to steer it into doing anything; with some practice, it is possible to watch the “self” pretend to be in charge while simultaneously realizing it is not, and this experience can be helpful (though frustratingly I have not found it to be as immediately life-changing as I might have hoped).
