this is humanities phd level math
It's actually not that complicated
How do the impossible geometry DMT shapes come into play in the big picture of reducing suffering at scale? I know they're implicated. It's a long story. I'd need five hours to get to the bottom of it. But they matter. That much I can tell you.
Consciousness is a biophysics problem, not a computational one.
Today is Guru Rinpoche day, the 10th of the Tibetan lunar month. "On the 10th day of the month of the Mouse, Guru Padmasambhava assumed the divine form of Vajrakumara at Yanglesho (Pharphing) in Nepal and subdued all the local deities and negative forces. He performed the…
Phakchok Rinpoche shares and explains three key points, on the importance of understanding, which are essential to everyone's Dharma practice. samyeinstitute.org/grd/on-the-imp…
As an undergraduate, I switched tracks from Physics to Buddhist Studies precisely because Buddhist epistemology has a precise and fine-grained vocabulary for discussing "observables" (meya, jñeya, viṣaya, artha, etc.), "observer" (grāhakākāra, svābhāsa, etc.), and so on.
Well, is the "observable" the thing the observer measures, or not?
The appropriate credence for illusionism about consciousness is 0. If you notice that it’s like anything at all to be you, then you know that consciousness is not an illusion; case closed.
I think @davidchalmers42 has a higher credence in illusionism since then, as have I, mainly due to conversations with @keithfrankish . Still very confidence it's false though!
In response to criticisms that academia has been ideologically captured, some seek argumentative refuge in the sciences. Unlike the humanities, science has been spared activist intrusion, we are told. Such people are either lying or haven't been paying attention. The Nature…
Every time I read a paper by an Italian physicist, I fondly remember that it was them that gave us this wonderful formalism for field theory
Agree with Luke (former grad student at Harvard) - This feeds the most damaging anti-science narratives.
Anyone who wish to know the realm of Buddha should make their minds clean as space, Getting rid of false notions and graspings, Making the mind unhindered wherever it turns. ~Avataṃsaka Sūtra

"Ghost"
Vector potentials (spin 1) yield a force that repels like charges and attracts unlike charges; so not what Newton had in mind Technically that can be changed by switching the sign of the kinetic term, but then the Hamiltonian is unbounded from below (no ground state)
