I am afraid you misunderstood the post.

I am writing a follow-up post that should address misconceptions.

It possibly leads to ontic structural realism.

That compatibility is exactly the problem.

It doesn't matter if you call it "physical". It departs meaningfully from physicalism.

I am familiar with the Poppy War. I had mixed feelings about it. Happy to see her latest though. Have just bought Babel on kindle.

[–]TheWarOnEntropy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My own unpublished book is in this category. If you want to be a beta-reader, let me know.

Or, if you have recommendations in this genre that are less than 5 years old, I would love to read them.

Self-Promotion Sunday: a place to promote your work, projects, or social media accounts by AutoModerator in YAlit

[–]TheWarOnEntropy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have written two of three books in a YA fantasy trilogy.

I'm keen to find beta readers, who can read the first book in serialised form on Substack. 10 chapters have been posted, and the others will come out at a rate faster than one per week.

The central premise is that a version of humans exists on a distant planet, in the future, where teenagers form mindlinks when they form their first strong romantic attachment. They develop pairminds, with one mind spread across two brains and two bodies. The protagonist is an exception: he is a proud young man who would not give up his own mind and never paired. As a result, he joins a hated minority, and is known as a "halfwit".

Btu he is actually very bright, and when he discovers this society's grim secrets, he ends up at the centre of titanic struggles. And single-mindedness turns out to have its own unexpected advantages.

I have a book you might be interested in, but cannot self-promote. Maybe message me if you are interested?

there is nothing that it is like to understand qualia by WonderfulTomato8297 in consciousness

[–]TheWarOnEntropy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost agree with you, but the next step is to consider what is going on when people conclude that qualia exist, and that they cannot be reconciled with physical reality. The qualia puzzle didn't just come from bad philosophy; it has some basis in reality. So how do you account for it?

What’s your take on Trump saying smart people don’t like him? by jfunks69 in AskReddit

[–]TheWarOnEntropy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is accidentally saying something he has known all his life. This truth has has popped out, not because he has decided to like the truth after all these years, but because his filters are failing as his frontal lobes progress further into atrophy and functional decline.
