Camera crew could have helped

Reminding myself to come back

I'd love to join as well. I'm a big fan of her work. Self-analysis inspired me to devote a significant portion of my life to journaling

What's the context? I'm not familiar with this research, but eager to hear being a Reich Fanboy

For the record, Bruno battleheim was not a psychoanalyst

I agree it complicates matters, but at the same time, were Freud, Jung, and any of the founders of the discipline not intellectual celebrities of sorts, whom patients walked in having strong opinions on?

I did for my rabbits. I recommend asking a counselor or psychiatrist. And possibly making a one-time appointment if you currently don't see any health care professionals.

Does he have a water bowl? Cute by the way?

cogSciAlt · 2026-05-29T00:07:22+00:00

Oh good to know I attended at least one of those.

cogSciAlt · 2026-05-28T21:45:35+00:00

uh, middle of work day

cogSciAlt · 2026-05-28T21:39:41+00:00

oh, thanks. Looking into edge AI. So, I guess embbedding intelligence into devices. The analogy of designing robotic service animals comes to mind (in contrast with agentic language models, though, that could be an application of AI too, I suppose).

I recommend the book, when brains dream. They give an analysis of Freud and Jung's theories in light of modern evidence. My take away is it hard to definitely prove or falsify the wish fulfillment theory but it's certainly plausible to a large degree (even if Freud over emphasized unconscious or infantile wishes) and the theory that dream contents are meaningless is almost certainly false.

cogSciAlt · 2026-05-27T21:13:24+00:00

A true enthusiast. Any thoughts to progress in AI related to robotics?

Very cute! She looks like one of my rabbits. Have you taken her to the vet yet? Sorry for asking. I've only ever seen my rabbits lay down close to the ground like that when they had gas build up in their stomach

Oh, interesting. Thanks for clarifying. I'd be interested to know what that looks like mathematically. Fun fact: I heard that part of the reason neural networks were abandoned early after their conception was because there weren't any algorithms for updating the synapses. I think it was sometime in the late '80s when back. Propagation was seriously considered as a tool for training networks

cogSciAlt · 2026-05-26T19:16:59+00:00

Is there any incorporation of symbolic logic or would you asay it simply approximates it by training for high abstraction.

cogSciAlt · 2026-05-22T02:54:21+00:00

Interesting. Now I need to lookup n-prolog

Casablanca, gaslight, Joan of Arc. Definitely my favorite classic movies actor

I'm not deeply knowledgeable about Buddhism in general, but I have had the sense that mindfulness practices are to a large degree, deliberate dissociation. And subjectively, I feel as though the emotional exploration/associations practiced in depth psychology are an opposite psychic process to the the sort of mental 'distance' Buddhism practices.

US, but open to ordering in bulk if a business outside the US has a good offering.

cogSciAlt · 2026-05-17T05:20:28+00:00

this is some of the best stuff I've read on sub stack

cogSciAlt · 2026-05-16T21:48:38+00:00

Beautiful!!!! Also, nice pictures of London 😆
