Fascinating (to me) how water (the H20 molecule, it's phases, mechanical
modes, radiative coupling, chemistry, aggregate thermodynamics, etc) is
central to such a widely distributed space-time regime of morpho and
teleodynamic phenomena spanning (sub)cellular to organism to
super-organism
I asked ChatGPT if it dreamed and it said that it didn't. However, is
adversarial training of neural networks much different than dreaming?
A new class from MITX showed up in my email today. It is called *Minds and
Machines: An introduction to philosophy of mind, exploring consciousness,
reality,
Great observations as usual Glen... I have lapsed into *listening* to
almost all long-form writing, whether fiction or non and it
definitely distorts (torts?) my perception/conception of the
material/subject/message. A corollary to McLuhan's Medium/Message
duality?
I find the
Anyone who needs to call "woke" to make a scientific argument has lost my
ear. An attention seeking proto-populist weatherman.
The electrostatics of individual water molecules, that the hydrogens have
some positive charge and the lone pairs of oxygen have some negative charge

Both keyboards and pencils are part of our extended phenotype and play
(multiple) roles in interoception, including the induction of
inter-subjectivity. I've forgotten who it is, but there's someone on this list
who *listens* to our posts, rather than reads them. I tried that with a blog

thanks Pieter for giving a hear. He almost certainly is a crack pot (he
has an "only I can fix it" thing going) but is he wrong about everything?
He makes a big deal about the special properties of water molecules. He
argues that these are created not by the geometric properties of the
molecule
