#Zoomposium with Professor Dr. #Daniel #Dennett: “A #naturalistic #view on #consciousness

The #philosophical #concept of supposed #naturalistic #monism is currently the basis of most approaches to elucidating the phenomenon of #consciousness in the research field of #cognitive #neuroscience, which attempt to #reduce #mental states to #physical #states.

Ugh. Just had a nightmare where I was in a busy open-plan office block and so was a very angry Darth Vader and his entourage, and he kept nearly running into me. My #mental issues are now taking on physical form in my dreams …

I wanted to briefly interject into the childish sandbox dispute between #Mastodon and #Bluesky: Nothing is better for one's #mental #wellBeing than the ability to disable any #commenting option under a post.
Thanks to this, I was able to post a political article about a hot potato in complete peace yesterday. Disabling #comments *and* quote-posts.

I won't post that here because I can't stand the comments that are caught like a glue trap by certain topics. Here I just boost direct media links.

Continued thread

The peace that comes with this #mental clarity is profound. It’s a #peace that is difficult to describe, but it is deeply felt. It is the peace of being completely in the moment, fully present in #Nature, & at one with myself. It is a peace that transcends the worries & stresses of everyday life, allowing me to reconnect with my inner being in a way that is truly healing. (3/3)

Continued thread

In this state of clarity, I find it easier to process my emotions, to understand my thoughts, & to gain perspective on my life. The problems that once seemed insurmountable suddenly become manageable, & I am able to approach them with a renewed sense of calm & focus. This #mental clarity is not just a temporary relief — it has a lasting impact on my overall well-being, helping me to navigate the challenges of life with greater ease & resilience. (2/3)

One of the most profound benefits of practicing #Naturism in #Nature is the #mental clarity that it brings. When I’m #Naked, away from the distractions of electronics & the demands of work or study, my mind becomes remarkably clear. The endless stream of thoughts, worries, & anxieties that usually cloud my consciousness begins to dissipate, replaced by a deep sense of #calm. (1/3)

"Daydreaming is normal. It is a fantasy break from our daily slog. But when daydreaming becomes obsessive to the point of impairing daily life, it is maladaptive. For example, a person may replace unsatisfactory real relationships with imaginary ones, only to find themselves terribly alone."

"Trump's entire administration is defined by madness–rewriting history to blame all of our current problems, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, on Joe Biden, boasting about being a king and claiming the EU "was formed for the sole purpose of taking advantage of the United States.”

The New Republic · There Is No Method to Trump’s Madness. He’s Simply Insane.His defenders try to apply reason to his erratic, nonsensical decisions. That’s a fool’s errand—but fools abound in this administration.
