| | | | | [AI summary] The article discusses the intersection of science and philosophy, highlighting the importance of empirical evidence and the scientific method in advancing knowledge. It critiques postmodern science studies for lacking scientific rigor and credibility, referencing the Sokal hoax as a key example. The piece also touches on the contributions of non-Western societies to science and the need for diversity in the scientific community. Ultimately, it concludes that while philosophical reflection has value, it should not replace the empirical foundation of scientific research. | |

| | | | | My good friend Sean Carroll took a lot of flak recently for answering this year's Edge question, "What scientific idea is ready for retirement?," with "Falsifiability", and for using string theory and the multiverse as examples of why science needs to break out of its narrow Popperian cage. For more, seethis blog post of Sean's,... | |

| | | | | As I browse about the web, I constantly run into the infamous "hard" problem of consciousness of Chalmers in one form or another. Sometimes the problem comes from an unexpected source - people who are materialists who actually think they have the answer to the problem. Usually the problem is thrown up by idealists or... | |

| | | [AI summary] The article discusses the development of computational simulations to model meditative cessations and peak 5-MeO-DMT experiences. It introduces three key simulations: (1) Gestalt Detector, which explores how specific points of view interact with our ability to detect gestalts, modulating scene fabrication through the Near Miss parameter. (2) Standing Wave Pattern Across Multiple Fields, which allows comparison of emergent resonant modes in coupled oscillators using Coupling Kernels and switches between 3D and 2D distance functions, hypothesizing that cessations occur when waves travel identically regardless of distance function. (3) Fractal Recursive Coherence, which models recursive projections between sensory fields to create synesthetic const... | ||
