Family first, understanding reality at its most fundamental second. Also sports and good food.
In my day job I study the structure of brains in beings, and the structure of beings with brains.

I wrote a short story about this in 2017. 8 years ago.
It was a sci-fi horror story. It feels like a Torment Nexus thing all over again.

"just release the hostages, silly, and the war stops immediately" was the obvious solution for a year and a half. Now that we know it was false, naive, and a lie, what is the new obvious solution we are supposed to believe so as to not be antisemitic nazi shills?

In #consci we commonly use altered states as contrasting cases to understand how changes in consciousness relate to changes in brain properties. But far too little is known about what exactly differentiates them... Both in phenomenology and in the brain.

It is common among my peers to support sending billons worth of weapons to Ukraine.
While I agree with the cause, sending weapons and fighting proxy wars is something I can't support. Anyone who actually supports them should send men (and women) to the front line. We need real skin in the game.

Now that there is some promise of peace for Gaza, can we have the arrest warrants enacted ASAP, please? I think Hamas leaders and the Netanyahu cabinet must be tried for terrorism and warcrimes by an independent international court. They can't get away with this.

Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?'
President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."
