Q. Why was the tree a minimalist?
A. Because it was sycamore
I'm SO tired of people looking for "the neuroscience of X" (meaning uninformative neuroimaging pictures) when *the psychology of X* is right there, doing a perfectly good job...

Same here! Have you tried Nurtec? Insurance hates paying for it but it works and is not a triptan
The process has always been the core of what matters. Somehow, many academics seem to have forgot that we are not purveyors of content or sellers of ideas. I feel like some Greek and Aramaic philosophers might have made points like that. But you don’t have to buy their arguments to get the point…
Sorry you are disturbed but none of my colleagues spend their time sea lioning anti-scientific views (like that physicalism is incoherent or a category mistake)
well, you may agree with it but it is neither bland nor widely held to be so anti-scientific, though maybe we have a different definition of trolling?
must not feed the trolls...must not feed the trolls...
Physical science is all about what stuff does. But when we're trying to explain why a system feels, we're not trying to explain its behaviour or the behaviour of its parts. The idea of a physical explanation of consciousness is a category mistake.
Unless one of the successes of science is explaining consciousness...why not give science a chance before dismissing it altogether?

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
Surprised (not surprised) in a Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy search for Hypatia (philosopher/mathematician) in the 14 pages of results there is only one result on page 10 for the actual person (not journal/book titles refs). And that’s to use her murder as context of an ancient bloke’s plight.
