I'm loving this philosophical and neuroscientific exploration of play, uncertainty, learning and more.
@jdkiverstein.bsky.social backs up my conclusion that the surprise-minimisation principle in the predictive processing approach is useful, but a little off: we often enjoy *just enough* surprise!

Misleading framing in the headline, trying to minimise COVID-19 deaths. They carefully picked the first and only month since 2023 where that was true.

le soudan est clairement un exemple de neo colonisation , l'une des plus violente d'ailleurs
mais la minimisation des acteurs de ce neocolonialisme en l'occurence les emirats est incomprehensible , meme si le soft power des UAE est tres presente .

Clear evidence of the minimisation of racially motivated terrorism. And people will still say it isn't an issue.
Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story.
Ahh look, he’s just a ‘nerdy’ guy. No harm done.

In reading this paper, I get the distinct impression that the researchers are trying to frame all of the PCC issues as "caused by lockdown" or "caused by anxiety". Weirdly, I am reading this study as minimizing COVID *the virus*. Lots of focus on mental health and anxiety. Do you see any of that?

Many good studies show physiological and SARS-CoV-2-strengthened immunity after C19. Antibodies last long, T cells persist, and vaccines work. But that doesn’t fit the doom narrative, so those results are ignored, or worse, smeared as “minimisation.”
