¡Mucho Gracias! Especially since I didn't realize I'd cut/paste from the old, inactive test url as well. 🤭
Hi and thanks…apologies for my being naive, but what do you mean be an extraneous ‘i’? I just checked the the link and they seems to work on both my iPad and Mac desktop.

I have to Say that this essay made me chuckle a bit. It made me think of the notion of a Social Suit I’ve learned to put on after 66 years that helps me be social comfortably and fit in…meaning I applaud you for pointing this out. I think we all have our own inherent strangeness that our Modern psychotope’s socioplasm en-structurates our behavior around that our individual selves emerge from. I notice it in how many of my younger friends find putting on make-up, wearing a suit, or, conversely, being incredibly strange makes fitting and being successful in ...
Your discourse on “equanimity” reminds me of notions about awareness, attentiveness, and being engaged in ways that don‘t necessarily bind you to a specific moment in all of it’s associated latency. Rather your lens is that of awareness coming from a meditative calming space that is distancing from the phenomena, allowing for Reflexion without attachment and getting lost in all those mirrored fragments of a particular moments’ latencies…at least that’s what these eyes see in your Saying….
Your thought has resonances with my own way of being that, hope...
Apologies if I caused you any consternation. I saw the string and thought it’d be fun to take a stab at it. I only had a vague awareness of the actual song, took a quick listen and played out my lyrics in my head based on some readings I’ve been doing on the psychotop & AI. Unfortunately I didn’t realize there’s rigid structure to Hip-hop stuff. My background is more along the lines of psychedelia and I tend to see lyric structures more in line with a Grace Slick style where vocal lyrics can be playfully varied around the song structure. best - hopkins
I‘m going to make myself better
When I merge with my AI
I’m going evolve myself higher
When I merge with my AI
I’m going to join the psychotope
When I merge with my AI
Oh yes, it’s my AI
Can’t you see it’s my AI
Oh yes, it’s me & my AI
Ugh! I’m just realizing you haven’t even been told if Gluten-intolerance is the underlying etiology which is understandable frustrating...apologies. I looked closer at some other NCBI articles and we really don’t have a good understanding of gluten intolerance other than it appears related to some underlying autoimmune disorder. That leaves you 1) experimenting with eliminating gluten, which it sounds like you‘re already working on, to see if there’s any correlation with gluten intake at all; and 2) getting tested for the various biomarke...
This is probably one of those dumb, obvious questions but I’ll ask anyway. Have you consulted with a Gastroenterologist yet? If not, you might want to consider consulting w/one to help interpreting the biochemistry stuff for a more precise “scientific/medical” simulacrum of the underlying pathophysiology from from the clinical standpoint. Otherwise I think you’re best bet is probably working with your Dietitian and the various Gluten Intolerance groups online for more practical advice on dealing with it in the day-to-day world. Unfortunately, from my own clinical experience, there’s a lot of the “art of medicine” involved in phenomenologically interpreting/applying medical research findings clinically.
If you haven’t looked at Wikipedia yet, their entry covers the etiological basics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten-related_disorders
I also saw this article that might give you some more in-depth understandings of its underlying etiology: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6182669/
Hope those help…❄️
Haha! The one book I always say I’m going to read. Much thanks!
I listened to a Zoom talk by Martin Burckhardt titled “Alien Logic: The Universal Machine and the Psyche of the Social Apparatus” last week. There were some acoustic issues understanding him and I think his main point was/is that we’re machines/computers ourselves. I’m still sorting out what he was saying and was struck by his comment on wondering why we, as a species, are so worried about controlling/mastering our creations as in the AI concerns about AI becoming smarter than us.
Just finished watching a Martin Burckhardt Webinar that, I think, essentially says we are the machine where the computer is our social unconsciousness if I’m understanding him correctly? So this is timely as I learn more about the AI skepticism arguments, much thanks for pointing it out….
I’m just reading your work for the first time and appreciating your synthesis on phenomenology and all the weird in/outs of intuition & consciousness as part of my own readings. The notions of inspiration/expiration remind much of Levinsian extension of Husserl I’m currently reading about & I‘m struck by the notions of simulcra/dissimulation I keep getting traces of. Much thanks for writing this!
Hi and apologies, I haven’t figured out how to be notified of a posting reply and just found this.
My experience was yes, using a phenomenology frame was very helpful getting clinical care folks focused on looking at QA/QM as something more than “busy work” getting in the way of doing important clinical work. For example, there was an issue with critically-ill homeless/immigrant patients in the public health system making f/u appts. after hospital discharge resulting in costly high readmission rates. The hospital service Attending/staff were dir...
Hey LessWrong: I stumbled across you after coming across references to rationalist and the Grey tribe on Twitter I think, along with the Post-Rats. Anyhow, you caught my curiosity and I’ve been “dabbling” around the edges to understand your “hypostatical basis” of the world while trying not to get too lost in the weeds. My background is as an AIDS/Oncology CNS before crashing out with health stuff. Part of my nursing background involved learning Heidegger from Bert Dreyfus and Kierkegaard from Jane Rubin as part of learning Phenomen...
Thank you for taking the time to take the test, and I appreciate your letting us know how you perceived its results, as this is most helpful for its authors in refining the tool.
As we said in the short essay explaining the little Cyborg Psychologist, its planning and evaluative process weren’t the result of AI but a combination of existing testing techniques put together in what is meant to be a humorous way. The testing items are based on the Big Five Personality Traits, which have become, in some ways, the hard currency of psychological trait t... (read more)
