RE: On Being an Angry Tranny
Where in my post did I say that my anger is directed only at injustice experienced by a select few? Millions if not billions are affected by sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, capitalism…

RE: It's All About The Trending Page
I think you're absolutely right about the quality of comments on steemit. I am new to steemit but am used to the sorts of high quality discussions you see in niche internet communities where people…

RE: "I'm going to work until the day I die" - Is working until the day you die the new reality in America?
I would love to retire early but I have a strong desire to remain intellectually active until I die. For me, my real "work" is my writing and my thinking, something that I hope to eventually turn…

RE: Why I am Optimistic About the Science of Consciousness (Contra @rachelsmantra)
I don't know - I would contest that whether or not medium-sized animals are conscious depends entirely on how we define consciousness. If we define it to be higher-order self-reflection that it's…

RE: The Survival Instinct - Does it Exist?
Super interesting post. What are your thoughts on autopoiesis as a theory of the biological "life world". All the talk of value reminds of also of ecological psychology and "affordances".…

RE: The seat of intelligence and the misery of memory.
I agree with you in the broad respect: rote memorization is not very impressive in terms of education. Teaching kids to memorize the dates of when the Aztecs ruled is pointless when we all have…

RE: Why I am Optimistic About the Science of Consciousness (Contra @rachelsmantra)
Nice response! I still don't think you have gotten yourself out of the difficulty though. You say that a theory of consciousness must match our intuitions about consciousness. Whose intuitions…

RE: Is the Ketogenic Diet a Fad?
That's interesting! I am definitely a big believer in intermittent fasting so I'll have to look more into the snake diet.

How many calories do you eat for your one meal? How long have you been doing that?

RE: Evolutionary Upgrades, The Power Of Perception, And Magic Of Wealth Dynamics... (Part ONE)
Interesting perspective but I am skeptical. You suggest that evolution might "might lead us in a far more harmonious, successful direction" than culture. I dunno. All evolution cares about is…

RE: Governments concerned about money laundering are banning ICOs
If governments are concerned about money laundering I feel like it is a smokescreen: the bigger issue is the ideological war against the authority of the state to regulate currencies. Cryptocurrency…

RE: Why I Am Skeptical About the Science of Consciousness
In a nutshell, the problem is that consciousness is not directly measurable so we have to measure something else, a "proxie" for consciousness. But we don't know how well that proxy actually…

RE: Protesters at Berkely are literally insane. Just watch this video. It's 100% madness.
For someone complaining that nobody is "making an argument" the only "argument" you made in this post is calling your opponents "insane". It'd be awfully easy to find videos of people from the right…

Most actual scientists I know are very humble about the limitations of scientific knowledge given what we still don't know about how reality works. I'd wager that most of the people who dimisss…
