I'm more interested in whether the uninformed intuitions have changed, whether someone who used an LLM before graduating from school and entering university has a more forgiving stance than an "ignorant" college entrant from

I don’t disagree with the general point here but the attraction of that argument has surely drifted much in ~5y. I’d be REALLY curious to see a survey of philosophy 2015 vs 2025 UG entrants on mind-brain connection intuitions

We can’t meaningfully deny humans have qualia, there would be too much baby and not enough bathwater.

I intended to explore it more as to say, this is my ideal, it used to be a lot more like it, now it is not, and further is less and less so. I think overall, the pull and fun of the internet was in the content delivered; now the attractive

I really long for a new kind of web browser with a search that only links to pages that are built for the browser. Static pages, which can hyperlink to other sites but must be self-resourced in the media they show, and which are if not high

As I said in another thread, visual hallucinations (without intoxication) are certainly a thing, but they are quite rarely associated with schizophrenia. There is far, far more to the condition than hallucinations or even psychosis more gen

It’s not good for a doctor to be your best friend. It doesn’t seem any LLM is capable of that emotional distance.

WhatsApp is the “best” Meta app by far. It does just offer an easy, secure way of contacting people using their phone number, through text, voice, images, video. None of their other apps come close. It doesn’t even look like a Meta product

The acts of the government being wrong in an upsetting amount of cases would be a big reason.

Great point. I forgot about that one. It’s a very interesting observation and I’ve never been able to square it with my other reading into SCZ

The overall field of visual paraperception is very interesting. You have Charles Bonnet Syndrome as described, and other really interesting phenomena like blindsight and complex visual agnosias, and then Anton-Babinski anosognosia where a p

For my two cents, I asked what my friend was seeing and he said “tin foil”. No elves - quite disappointing - but he enjoyed it

The mind and body are always in sync somewhat, even when under great stress like that. Anticholinergics at high doses act almost mechanistically on the PNS to create the parasthesia/formication on/under one’s skin. I think the vis

I think the most important part of being antisocial is the ulterior motive for their hostility and refusal to situate themselves in an equitable or respectful social framework, which is invariably benefit to oneself. The type of benefit tha

I think it’s actually incredibly similar to Washington’s situation, since DC residents have pretty much nothing to do with the federal government residing there, just like the Bruxellois in Brussels

It's usually used in place of a person/active participant in something. So ‘Brussels suffered a deadly fire’ will always refer to the city. ‘Brussels decides on new aircraft regulations’ will almost always refer to either the city

Yep - Apple have worked through to becoming a luxury, upscale brand and there is no reason for them right now to change from that perception with their current market upper hand

I’m not sure you realise that this is a far more generic rhetorical phenomenon that encompasses all kinds of situations. Like referring to the FBI as Quantico.

It’s very common throughout English. The Russian government is refered to as Moscow, US as Washington. It’s the same and doesn’t refer to residents. It’s known as synecdoche. In other words, sorry but it’s here to stay.
