  • What do you not like talking about?

  • And what we're doing right now is good science. We're operationalising our variables and making testable predictions, deciding what the possible results could mean before we conduct the experiment and see them.

    Saying "Neuron activity before a decision is made disproves free will" is bad science, because "free will" is being implicitly operationalised in a very opinionated way, and it's not exactly clear what the experimenter thinks a null hypothesis result would look like.

    I don't think neuroscience can tell us whether free will exists, because "free will" is too difficult to operationalise in a way everyone would agree with. For example, many people think if our actions are predetermined based on our environment, it means no free will. But I think if our actions are random, that's not free will, and predetermined actions would make Me feel much freer. I want to know that My mind behaves consistently, that makes Me feel in control. Many disagree. This disagreement can't be resolved with science.

  • Now what I want to see is if M1 neurons begin to show increased activity before someone thinks about getting up to go pee, but decides to hold it in. Because if so, it's pretty clear that the decision making process simply involves motor neurons readying themselves in case they're needed. But if they don't, then it means the motor cortex is contributing to the decision making process, and that's an actually informative result.

  • I'm convinced the methodology on that decision study is flawed. Decision making isn't an instantaneous process, it takes time for the mind to settle on an option. That neurological ramping up is the decision making.

  • What if it's actually pronounced "Arstralia," and we never realized because of the accent?

    Jump

  • It literally is. No idea why Americans always call it Ostralia.

  • Spore drive?

    Jump

  • Much of the plant life on Earth is connected by a network of fungal mycelium that helps share resources. In Star Trek, that network of mycelium extends through the multiverse, connecting every planet in every universe. The spore drive allows the ship to travel along the network across all of spacetime instantly.

    Current scientific theories do not support the existence of multiversal fungi.

  • MULTIVERSE has defederated fedinsfw.app for hosting child pornography

    Jump

  • I agree that there's a big difference between natural pedophiles (pedophilia as a sexuality) and Epstein pedophiles (pedophilia as a kink).

    The research that I've read on the subject suggests that Epstein pedophiles are opportunistic - they offend when there is an opportunity to do so. That could be having a martini on Epstein's island, or it could be browsing Reddit and seeing a post from r/jailbait. During that first encounter, if the person has enough excuses to be able to say it's not that bad, it's not illegal, it's not actually harming anyone, then they are likely to seek out more "content" and re-offend in worse ways.

    In other words, if we make cruelty free imitation child porn available to natural pedophiles, we're going to create more Epstein pedophiles. We're not actually helping by doing that. It's counterproductive.

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribalism

    Tribalism is the state of being organized by, or advocating for, tribes or tribal lifestyles

    I think tribes are good and tribalism is good. I'm a tribalist. We have some great tribes here in Australia and I respect their ancient practices.

  • It would be so interesting if humans didn't have a gender assigned at birth and could choose who they want to be.

    Jump

  • Developmentally, babies don't even have gender yet. Gender develops in the brain between the ages of 2 and 4 (and keeps developing until the end of puberty). I don't think it's developmentally appropriate to gender babies. All babies are nonbinary, and we should encourage children to choose a gender and pronouns as a rite of passage on their fourth birthday.

  • Adult Obesity Rates Across U.S. (2026)

    Jump

  • Obesity is about 200lb for men and about 180lb for women, on average. Keep in mind it doesn't distinguish between muscle and fat, so John Cena is classified as obese.

    Jump

  • I'm being a bit sneaky and defining tribalism differently than you without telling you. See, we live in a very racist society with some very negative views of tribes. Many people think tribes are primitive and warlike, and that's where the definition of tribalism you're using comes from. I think using that definition is thoughtlessly callous, because I have a positive view of tribes, so I'm defining tribalism much more positively, as the view that tribes are a better way to organise a society than western civilisation. Hence My above point that white supremacists are very unlikely to be tribalists under My definition. White supremacists are only tribalists when we use white supremacist language.

  • many have been saying this

    Jump

  • I've never met a white supremacist who was tribalist. All the white supremacists I know are civilisationalists. And by that I mean, they uncritically accept the western idea of civilisation as consisting of domination and exploitation of the natural world and one's fellow human beings. Everyone I know who subscribes to tribal knowledge systems is very anti-racist, so I have a very positive view of tribalism.

  • I believe that for a person to have unshakeable faith in objective reality, even despite all of the scientific and philosophical evidence and logic against it, speaks to an unnaturally feeble state of mind which has been cultivated in our society by the rich and powerful as a means of control. Human beings are not naturally so willfully ignorant; it must be trained from a young age.

  • Actually, homosexuality is a social construct and is not objective. In Ancient Greece and Rome, there was no homosexuality. Men having sex with men was considered quite normal, personal preference or attraction didn't come into it. But for a man to take it in the butt from his social inferior was taboo in the same way homosexuality has been in much of the modern age. It was considered a deviant and unusual preference, much like being gay.
