    I think it’s important to point out that the bicameral mind is one theory, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true. One of its major criticisms is that it suggests consciousness only arose in humans around the time we started writing about it, and that it didn’t exist in humans before then. It’s also entirely possible that humans were conscious way before that, but when we started writing about it was just when we developed the cultural concept of what consciousness is.

    The theory also seems to imply there is something special about human metacognitive processes compared to other animals, which would therefore imply that animals are not conscious. That seems weirdly reductive when various non-human animals show some evidence of self-awareness (mirror spot test, Alex the grey parrot).

    It’s a nice theory which ties lots of things together, but it’s no more true than any other theory of consciousness at the moment.

    As someone watching with immense disappointment overseas, I’m not sure your midterms will save you.

    I fully expect ICE to be policing outside your polling booths and illegally detaining anyone who looks foreign before they can vote. That’ll disproportionately reduce your democratic voters for sure. And that’s before you even consider whether Elon’s magical polling machines are still in action.

    Probably a lot of voters will be too scared to even go and vote if the ICE presence is heavy enough.

    Patreon is a good idea. Do you mind me asking what kind of extras someone like me might provide for subscribers?

    I’d been thinking offering higher quality image versions, .blend files if people want to open and mess with the scenes themselves, models I’ve made, etc?

    As someone who works in psychiatry and frequently administers cognitive tests, his comments are hilarious.

    The hardest question on the ACE-III is getting someone to remember a name and address for about 15-20 minutes whilst you get them to do the other tasks - mostly repeating sentences after you, naming objects, following simple two-step commands and other things which anyone without dementia should be able to do just fine.

    “Aceing” the test is just doing things that pretty much anyone without cognitive impairment should already be able to do.
