If petition gets 10k signatures, government would have no choice but to respond. www.stopkillinggames.com/countries/un... got 189k signatures in UK.

I will write to the chancellor to support LVT.

Thanks for the website. This is a great idea. Maybe start a petition so this has a chance of reaching parliament?

During psychosis my visual system broke down systematically as if some 'software program' was generating what I see and it was malfunctioning. I don't remember everything that happened but immediately after I recovered I wrote down whatever I could remember.

You ever wonder why I keep posting about free-energy/predictive processing research. I had a full blown psychosis years ago, I will be honest it was a traumatic experience and fucked me up real good for couple of weeks.

'Every evening apparently before our eyes the sun goes down behind the stationary horizon, although we are well aware that the sun is fixed and the horizon moves.'

But last time, I did something I never done before, I dumped all my drugs in toilet. Cause fuck this I'm done living like this. The conversation between my unconscious brain and rational brain reminds me of this quote from Helmholtz

Unconscious interface: You home is about to get raided by cops

Rational brain: I'm on psychoactive substances and probably experiencing psychosis so I can't trust the my feelings. And even if my home is about to be raided, how can I know that before it happens. So this must be false

usually it's a conflict between my rational part of my brain and unconscious interface which goes like this

I was re-watching breaking bad and from the dialogues I felt like cops are about to break-in to find drugs in my home. Calling it feeling might be understatement, it was as if my brain was 200% confident it was about to happen in minutes. This was not first time I had experienced something like this

Good resource to learn about bayesian optimization.

Your explanation is meant for readers who may not have full background for the theory.

So I'm looking for different types of theory of minds. Free-energy theory looks really promising to me and the math checks out, I wanted to know what other theories neuroscience community considers as promising before i spend even more of time learning about predictive processing.

using this for data collection was not my intention at all. I'm a programmer who believes understanding biological intelligence is one the most viable ways to achieve AGI.

Thanks for the feedback. This is very helpful. I don't professionally work in academia so i made a bad assumption.

> That is a spectacularly useless measure of whether a theory is a good theory.

what metrics would you use to know if a theory is well accepted by the research community?

Surfing Uncertainty: Prediction, Action, and the Embodied Mind by Andy Clark. This is good introductory book.

Active Inference: The Free Energy Principle in Mind, Brain, and Behavior by Thomas Parr, Giovanni Pezzulo, Karl J. Friston. Bit advanced book.
