    The field of interest is wider than just mentation. I think we need to treat high-performance as virgin territory, describing all facets of the subject from the sociological to the downtight freaky, preferably with eyewitnesses. I mean, what I've handled just ain't normal, and I'm not alone in...

    I got iinto the heavy stuff by listening. The young Samuel. Cut out the gabble, drop into meditation, and listen.

    What I'd like to do first is define the wider area so we're not flailing around at crossed purposes. Indeed, if you'd like to take the lead, please do so. I'm a pathfinder by nature, and above all else don't want to frighten people off by my attitude. Don't forget some folk have complex/multiple...

    Does Neuroscience Obviate Free Will?

    Whenever I see a relative like over or under, or comparatives, I ask myself whether the person doing the judging isn't being a tad egotistic. You can call me what you like, but you'd better be able to back your accusation up with evidence and the psychological profession has been unable to do...

    Does Neuroscience Obviate Free Will?

    Just so. I'm not doing it to sound big, but you can guess my opinion of most social media. Soma.

    Does Neuroscience Obviate Free Will?

    No. If you're to lazy to think, don't follow me. I say what I mean, as precisely as I can, and I mean what I say. It can be like living with A Short History of Time, but that's life. You may be a demigod, but I deal with the real thing on occasion, so I'm not impressed. I simplify as far as...

    Hardware and Software

    Carlo Rovelli's Helgoland is on the subject right now. I'm waiting for one of our number to settle to inderterminate state and start to hack the things. For the layman, it's all to do with ideas on ignorance. We're no longer in a binary true/false dichotomy, but one where divide-by-zero...

    Nice to come across someone who beat me by a year! You must have been military, though. One big problem is that object orientation got hung up with object hybridisation and has never really got past that. As a result, the modularity you talk about is compromised if concept upgrades change the...

    Nobody's ventured any ideas on how they think yet, though. I can only speak for myself, does it ring any kind of bell? The fact we make any kind of sense at all to an NT and conform to some kind of logic gives me hope. Imagine what a fully-telepathic group might do to linear communications like...

    Does Neuroscience Obviate Free Will?

    A lot of it's because most of the population get by on a vocabulary of about 400 words. I can't help having a bigger one, I was born that way and spent my childhood stuffing me head full of data and keep up to date as far as possible. It's not done to impress, but for precision: if you don't...

    Weekend University A Day on Neurodiversity 30 May 2021

    In fact, we had a new concept to me land, neurotheology! Right up my creek, given my track record. Dr Andrew Newberg, technically handling what I'd already sussed, it's in the limbic system. I wonder whether animals meditate?

    Fear often is the fruit of ignorance. These aren't bad men, just experts. As in ex=has been, spurt=drip under pressure. The recent history's been one of reaction, self-justification. Over-excitability? By comparison with dull milquetoast teachers. Give them some insight - and we're the real...

    I'm sniffing at a possible Uni affiliation after comments on the edge of a NeuroTheology seminar went well. I'll see what happens

    Exactly. My anger is at the misrepresentation of our traits, and I'm ONLY talking about what I know about, personally. However, there's a lot more others can add, and I must certainly don't want to do a Temple Gradin on you. A lot of what's said is cop-out, "I think differently", for example. In...
