What does that have to do with insects not generally having REM sleep?

by tsol 4y ago
From a biological perspective, what's interesting about this is that REM sleep hasn't been observed in insects before. Insects sleep, but the REM phase only occurs in mammals and birds. I think some people are reading too much int

But what does "greater depth of consciousness" really mean? What are the metrics one uses to compare counciousnesses? I think we're trying to discuss things we don't even have the language for. Whether or not we can repl

If you're trying to block sound, IEMs are usually the way to go. A bit more expensive for comparable sound quality, but it's worth it for the increase in portability

So basically no one is modern to you except secular Europe? You write off 70% of the world so easily.

I somewhat follow news, but try to just stick to science and medical news. I was in cancun recently and a employee at the hotel said she was sad to hear about the shooting. I didn't even know there was a shooting-- there are too many t

How is that cost effective? To me, it seems like something is wrong with our economy if it's cost effective to waste so many resources. I'm sure the cost to an individual to extract and refine those resources are low-- but the cos

My argument against minimally effective action is that it can make people feel like they did something significant, and therefore discourage further change. Those plastic straws effective function in our society isn't that it removes p

These types of situations make me think some externalities should be priced in, perhaps through taxes. It's ridiculous that these devices make litter of rare metals that also have a risk of fires. If we're gonna allow it, it ought

>Love of ones fellow man Hmm interesting. I wonder is love really a motivator? It's more of a reason, right? "I give charity because I love my fellow man". I feel like that's not inclusive. Like what about people who

>There is a marketplace for virtues, and people need role models. Good luck convincing people of this. One of the primary purposes of religion was to provide that role model figure, but society has thrown out that concept altogether. Now

So what is the motivator for people to give charity if there is no reward from God? I would have thought there were some sort of reward for charity in Christianity.

Practicing virtue in public, even if you don't intend it that way, is signaling virtue. What is strange is how in our society virtue has to be justified. Is it virtue signaling that people dislike, or being fake?

That's because Latin America is nowhere near China or Russia. They aren't going to go half way around the world to harass Latin Americans. But if Latin America was in the place of Hong Kong, Laos, or Ukraine they wouldn't enj
