R. Feynman: I’m an explorer? I get curious about everything, and I want to investigate all kinds of stuff.
I have been a psychopharmacologist and professor of Biological Aspects of Psychopathology until my retirement in 2013. Now I study the brain and write short assays, see my website. I am also writing a book (provisional title: Our Brain, the Body of the Mind). I use mastodon to keep up with developments in the field. Please post your publications with #neuroscience. I endorse Tootfinder which is an Opt-in global Mastodon full text search.

"We now understand that the human mind is fundamentally not a logic engine but an analogy engine, a learning engine, a guessing engine, an esthetics-driven engine, a self-correcting engine."
Hofstadter, Foreword to the New Edition

@npub18kf…npv5 @npub10ad…tvms Why would "One of the downsides of the ruling is that a company can exclude users with an activated adblocker from accessing its website." be a downside? Its just a consequence of your refusal. Or are you anxious to miss something from a website that wants to force feed?

You know, of course:
This book will argue that because interactional types generated by constraints are multiply realizable, a novel form of mereological causation emerges: top-down causation as distributed control coded in analog form.
