And if it is 2AFC -- then is it phenomenologically just the same as blindsight, and the question for both is what that phenomenon means? Or is there something phenomenlogy distinct from blindsight?

So they say they did not see anything, but they can explicitly report where it was, what color it was? What does explicitly mean -- was it a two (or multi) alternative forced choice, as in blindsight? Or you just asked them and they told you??
Thanks --

I'm completely ignorant about this line of research so forgive what is probably a dumb question but: how is this different from other phenomena, like priming, or blindsight, in which a stimulus that does not enter consciousness nonetheless influences subsequent choices?

Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing what comes out of the group --

A $ doesn't go very far, unfortunately: money has to first go through money changers who take a significant %, then it has to buy food on the market at wildly inflated prices. But it seems to be the only way to help other than pushing gov'ts to change. I attach a FAQ from the baby formula group.

My understanding is Dem state legislators are afraid to leave the state for 30 days to prevent redistricting because they will incur $15K fines. A wealthy person could offer a gift of $21K ($15K after taxes) to everyone who is fined at a cost, for 50 people, of ~$1M. Is there such a wealthy Dem?

notice: unusual activity, need to change pwd. But w/o account's email, I can't change my pwd, so can't login. Attempts to get xitter support to do something thus far utterly fruitless. I'll keep trying, but not hopeful. I made an account @zzkmzzkm just to read, but no followers so not posting.

Abundant aid is sitting on the border, if IL would let it in. After complete blockade for months they now are allowing in only a trickle. That combination is creating the current, rapidly worsening situation. How many people must die of starvation before the world will pressure IL to open the gates?
