Previous generations fought fascism in nearly every corner of the earth. Today it’s on our streets, silencing opposition and attempting to control the airwaves.

The GOP has declared all out war on free speech. It’s up to us to fight for it.

Syntax matters though, for instance with embeddedness-you can ‘butt dial your booty call’, but not ‘booty call your butt dial’.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk:

"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

My favorite conference too! (Although the new Society for Philosophy and Neuroscience —SPAN— is up there too)

even use the term to predict anything about another time and another context? Moreover, we don’t even know when the neural correlate ends and the context begins. Plus, what’s a context? So many questions :-)

When there is so much context-dependency, one worries that the classifications we end up with are not going to be projectible, in the sense of aiding with predictions and explanations. If “attention network” is really just “attention network at time x, under contextual conditions y”, can we (1/n)

It’s the question of cognitive ontologies. When we say “x function/does y”, both the “x” and the “y” are unclear. Even if we replace “x” from region to functionally connected network, we still have to discuss the “y”.

But then we face another difficult question: what are the right labels for each localized functionally connected correlate?

Btw, years ago I also wrote about the fact that we don’t have a unique lexicographic equivalent of “aware”, which features prominently in several philosophical account if consciousness.
