What are"logical patterns?" npub10r2sk8n02psdx0nnjawlj7k8ln9nrfzzjcqu8eshms2r3rww7w7qg5ccza Peter Moleman "We now understand that the human mind is fundamentally not a logic engine but an analogy engine, a learning engine, a guessing engine, an esthetics-driven engine, a self-correcting engine." npub10r2sk8n02psdx0nnjawlj7k8ln9nrfzzjcqu8eshms2r3rww7w7qg5ccza Peter Moleman @npub1qzc…yetl If the question is not too private: why did you return to the US? npub10r2sk8n02psdx0nnjawlj7k8ln9nrfzzjcqu8eshms2r3rww7w7qg5ccza Peter Moleman @npub1skv…aky3 @npub1ary…md4c Which part of his text do you trust and which do you think is made up? npub10r2sk8n02psdx0nnjawlj7k8ln9nrfzzjcqu8eshms2r3rww7w7qg5ccza Peter Moleman @npub1skv…aky3 @npub1hq3…ugxy @npub1gez…kvl3 But how do they come together? Not by thinking seperately about them. Dualism...? npub10r2sk8n02psdx0nnjawlj7k8ln9nrfzzjcqu8eshms2r3rww7w7qg5ccza Peter Moleman @npub1skv…aky3 @npub1hq3…ugxy @npub1gez…kvl3 So we can simple ignore these psychologists or their arguments. npub10r2sk8n02psdx0nnjawlj7k8ln9nrfzzjcqu8eshms2r3rww7w7qg5ccza Peter Moleman @npub1skv…aky3 @npub1hq3…ugxy @npub1gez…kvl3 Do these psychologists study the brain and psychology? npub10r2sk8n02psdx0nnjawlj7k8ln9nrfzzjcqu8eshms2r3rww7w7qg5ccza Peter Moleman @npub19d9…f02p Well, it took me a couple of years reading to understand that. I do not imply that it would take you equally long, but I can not explain it in short. Read Solms M (2021): The hidden spring; a journey to the source of consciousness ISBN 978-1-78283-571-4. To start: why may be not the right question about consciousness being grounded in feelings.You first have to be convinced it is. #neuroscience npub10r2sk8n02psdx0nnjawlj7k8ln9nrfzzjcqu8eshms2r3rww7w7qg5ccza Peter Moleman @npub19d9…f02p The reason is consciousness is (grounded in) feelings about the body in order to maintain homeostasis. This is not a cortical process. This is about basic consciousness, not (yet) selfconsciousness. Any followers to comment on my explanation (or correct it)? npub10r2sk8n02psdx0nnjawlj7k8ln9nrfzzjcqu8eshms2r3rww7w7qg5ccza Peter Moleman @npub19d9…f02p As I understand it, you are talking about the content of consciousness. Some think there is a basic consciousness "before", or without content. Watch the discussion between Metzinger and Friston, the philosopher and neuroscientist resp.: Phenomenology of Pure Consciousness with Thomas Metzinger and Karl Friston (2023): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlPHGnChhI4 npub10r2sk8n02psdx0nnjawlj7k8ln9nrfzzjcqu8eshms2r3rww7w7qg5ccza Peter Moleman @npub1skv…aky3 @npub1w6d…ytvx @npub1gt5…g9em I am with you npub10r2sk8n02psdx0nnjawlj7k8ln9nrfzzjcqu8eshms2r3rww7w7qg5ccza Peter Moleman @npub1skv…aky3 Congratiolations, looking forward to it (also an ebook I hope) npub10r2sk8n02psdx0nnjawlj7k8ln9nrfzzjcqu8eshms2r3rww7w7qg5ccza Peter Moleman @npub1skv…aky3 @npub13ey…kkr5 Perhaps this is of interest to you in relation to the brain and chaos theory: npub10r2sk8n02psdx0nnjawlj7k8ln9nrfzzjcqu8eshms2r3rww7w7qg5ccza Peter Moleman @npub1skv…aky3 I sense a certain amount of moral laziness in the article and answers to your question. I am concerned about that in the same way as I am concerned about moral laziness in my country, see reactions to the results of the recent elections. Do I see a general trend in some (western?) societies? npub10r2sk8n02psdx0nnjawlj7k8ln9nrfzzjcqu8eshms2r3rww7w7qg5ccza Peter Moleman @npub18kf…npv5 @npub10ad…tvms Why would "One of the downsides of the ruling is that a company can exclude users with an activated adblocker from accessing its website." be a downside? Its just a consequence of your refusal. Or are you anxious to miss something from a website that wants to force feed? npub10r2sk8n02psdx0nnjawlj7k8ln9nrfzzjcqu8eshms2r3rww7w7qg5ccza Peter Moleman @npub1skv…aky3 That is an interesting question!

Perhaps I am able to come up with some sort of an answer. npub10r2sk8n02psdx0nnjawlj7k8ln9nrfzzjcqu8eshms2r3rww7w7qg5ccza Peter Moleman @npub1skv…aky3 @npub15sw…x855 @npub1t64…u4j0 @npub1zll…lhfq npub10r2sk8n02psdx0nnjawlj7k8ln9nrfzzjcqu8eshms2r3rww7w7qg5ccza Peter Moleman What does not sound as reductionistic is that social and developmental factors can exert actions on the brain. This sounds as two way causality. But then comes in the primacy of genes and neurons. "These changes ... are responsible for initiating and maintaining abnormalities of behavior that are induced by social contingencies." Especially "initiating" is the problem here. npub10r2sk8n02psdx0nnjawlj7k8ln9nrfzzjcqu8eshms2r3rww7w7qg5ccza Peter Moleman @npub1skv…aky3 Yes, but the explanation is different in different cases. The example in the article, the woman cured with sugar, may have been caused by spontaneous recovery, or expectation or..... Whatever it may be, the explanation does not need to be called placebo. That is even misleading. If you reserve the placebo effect to expectation, the woman was not cured by placebo if the cause was spontaneous recovery. What the inconsistency is when ascribing causal power to placebo is all in my blog. So what is called placebo is an unexpected or unintended effect. Our ignorance is hidden under the word placebo. npub10r2sk8n02psdx0nnjawlj7k8ln9nrfzzjcqu8eshms2r3rww7w7qg5ccza Peter Moleman @npub1skv…aky3 But what is the cause of these huge effects? Placebo? npub10r2sk8n02psdx0nnjawlj7k8ln9nrfzzjcqu8eshms2r3rww7w7qg5ccza Peter Moleman @npub1skv…aky3 Nicole, have you read my blog https://breininactie.com/the-placebo-effect-doesnt-exist/?
