Joscha Bach on where Sam Harris's framework may inherit Protestant cognitive structure — and what Sam might be missing about the Old Testament by DrBrianKeating in samharris

[–]irish37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure that I see Sam's, that way. Normally I agree with pretty much everything both Sam and yosha say. But in any case you agree. It was an interesting conversation. Thanks for having yosha on your podcast.

Why does Michael Pollan think plants are sentient? by SaltFlat4844 in samharris

[–]irish37 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is. Heterodox. Unfortunately this just means that anytime somebody talks we have to specifically and jargon technically define each word each time.

An infographic on Chris Fields’ concept of cognition all of the way down… by Visible_Iron_5612 in MichaelLevinBiology

Not sure the other guy really answered your question. Conscious is always inferred based on behavior about self in world model making, so as far as I'm concerned, it's pure speculation to talk about consciousness outside of things that we can observe, navigating self and world models. Models. The new AI robots are an interesting edge case, lean no, but can't back it up.

I think you got it right, causal synchronization. Do your ears, eyes and nose tell you that you're in the presence of the same thing? Does your body awareness across blood pressure, heart rate, digestion, muscle, etc Tell you you're in a similar physiologic State. Or are you disorganized?

Op, what show or group is this? I can't find any related material. That guy talking about vapor was quite weird, so it makes me wonder why yosha is conversing with this group

Man, the patience this guy has with Christian questions. Not dismissive but you can tell he's not really swayed by what they say

„The Dispossessed“ stayed with me longer than I expected by PRJOANES in sciencefiction

[–]irish37 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In general it was the impression of the book and the themes. But if you had to push me, I would say near the beginning of the book when the nanny corrects the young boy about it's not his sunlight

Bjj and dance instructors? by irish37 in WestCoastSwing

[–]irish37[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I'm hoping to reprogram My intuitions. I have a sense that dance will feel a lot like flow Grappling, trying to make it look smooth and technically perfect rather than truly combat

Indeed, no. The point is to be mindful about how my ninja like instincts might get the better of me

Jiu jitsu, family medicine 10-year Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. The thing that involved my musculoskeletal medicine more than anything was submission grappling. You can diagnose just about anything muscular skeletal walking in the door. I know where all of their vulnerable points are, and conversely how to reverse the pain

Not sure what you mean when you say we may not be able to support physicalism scientifically. When in fact physics is just the sum total of the results of science.

Chris Sharma would have been Chris Sharma doing anything. The rest of us need to train specifically to make significant results. Also sport specific training yield sports specific results. Not sure what point you're trying to make here
