Speaking as one, a drummer must have something called limb independence, which means the right leg might be playing one pattern on the kick drum, left leg a different pattern on the hihat (or a double pedal etc), who knows what's going

The problem with this is it's easy to say "we can't ignore our problems", and everyone will agree, but for most meaningful purposes that is exactly what is happening. We've been ignoring the problems and saying thin

Among the other answers here, there is some evidence micro/nanoplastics measurably change behavior (and by implication cognition) in crustaceans[0] though it's unclear what this reveals w.r.t humans it does seem to suggest we ough

Note that this article is from 2007, and today there are signs that though quantum coherence does play a role in photosynthetic energy transfer it is not a long lived one and a "hybrid" quantum/classical model is needed http

> When people say something "is a game", often what they are implying is that "all legal moves are fair play" Good point, I guess the concept is constantly negotiated by this sort of conversation too

Bike lanes in the US can be pretty haphazard, in many cases they're sprinkled discontinuously around the area like a tease it almost feels more dangerous to merge into and out of motor traffic at every other intersection

Fair enough- and agreed. I hope so too.

Agreed. Science itself has nothing to say about that though, and I fear castigating everyone to "believe the science" and censoring antiscientific opinions are two deeply counterproductive activities, in that they give people the

Humans in general may be prone to all sorts of erroneous mathematical reasoning but the speed and consistency with which mathematical concepts reproduce in the minds of mathematicians can justifiably be called mysterious imo, at least until

how in particular do you think this sort of work might inform interpretations of personal identity? what uses do you anticipate for a more [fluid? porous? plural?] self-regard?
