@dasnielsenson I’m providing a personal account of how the brain is neurological, not a microbial information network
And your immediate response is to accuse me of being a sellout?

Don't anticipate anything clever, although I might retweet clever things. Has opinions. Likes video games, discusses politics. Don’t be an idiot.

@LetsConsider language isn't objective, you just respect the standards of an authoritarian state more than your father's experience
why would you bring up you being a soulless sell out as if it disproves anything I'm saying?
English
Also, it should terrify everyone that adults in the 21st century believe in demons.
Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D@RVAwonk
Why is everything bad a “demon” or “satanic” all of a sudden? Everywhere I look, someone is describing something in those terms (“evil,” etc) and I don’t understand where it’s coming from or why everyone decided to start speaking like that.
English
@dasnielsenson My dad literally had a brain bleed that caused pressure on the language center of his brain. I know how his vocabulary changed over time, and how it improved after. Your mindless disbelief is not critical thinking, it’s adversarial reasoning, wanting to be special.
English
@LetsConsider statistical correlation isn't causation, just people who can't admit they don't understand the mind from within it
but if we're tossing out arbitrary research, I like one showing that brain activity is on a response delay
and nearly all seratonin/dopamine comes from the gut
English
@dasnielsenson … please explain how the Allegory of the Cave is intended to justify a ruling class? Like, I understand it could be read in that light, but it is about education, correct? Something which no ruling class wants the masses to have?
English
@LetsConsider someone read Allegory of the Cave and bought Plato's propaganda about technocratic leadership designed to justify a ruling class
have you tried Blind Men & the Elephant instead?
English
@dasnielsenson Riiiiight
That’s why we can map things like the language center onto specific parts of the brain
Because it’s not actually the brain, it’s microbial
When is your research paper coming out, by the way?
English
@LetsConsider Brain surgeons are more engineers than SMEs
these MFs still think the subjective experience is neural and not from microbial information networks
English
@floryyn_ And if you think providing context as to why your point is somewhat tangential to the original topic is irrelevant, I’m not sure what to tell you other than get a more robust understanding of the discussion before jumping in with an opinion.
English
@LetsConsider if you think any twitter discussion sticks to its original source and doesn't evolve usually into a more broader discussion then idk
English
kink discourse on this app will never not drive me crazy bc it's always from such a oddly puritanical standpoint that removes agency from the women who are willingly participating & also ignores the nuance of queer dynamics , more importantly sapphic ones .
English
@DunningKitten @YugoEnjoyer Portal is a puzzle game.
You don’t need the wiki for true end. Secrets aren’t necessary for the game.
TF2 is a game intended to be played with others. You should be able to learn from how others play.
English
@LetsConsider @YugoEnjoyer Portal is literally a linear story game.
Hollow knight is wikislop for secrets and the ending.
You did catch me on one though, Arcade games don’t need wikis, some of them at least.
TF2 is wikislop because how the hell are you going to learn rocket jumping without guides?
English
Minecraft is also a part of this image, it's just so popular that people forget that not everyone knows the exact Y levels you can find diamonds at or how to access the end or how to build a piston door

@dasnielsenson I don’t have to know exactly what a brain surgeon does to understand they are the subject matter expert. You have an inflated sense of self worth, and believe your personal lack of faith in reality translates to anything meaningful. It doesn’t.
English
@LetsConsider so you don't actually know or understand and are insecure about it, so you're relying on appeal to authority, got it
English
@dasnielsenson It isn’t absolute truth. But you’re not actually criticizing it. You’re simply avoiding it. I don’t feel the need to justify the existence of observable phenomena being real to you, because your argument is kinda dumb, and fails to account for the people who already disproved it.
English
@LetsConsider I think you know either don't know the reasoning or understanding it fails scrutiny
that's why you invoke old philosophy as absolute truth
your mind isn't remotely close to capable of understanding this discussion, but your ego can't let you admit how dumb you are
English
@artjinni08 @FucksuInTheAss Uh huh. So when being pedantic, you’re meant to have some purpose to it. This is just attempting to redefine commonly used words to meaninglessness. Do you want to try again?
English
@LetsConsider @FucksuInTheAss Sex can also be used for emotional regulation. Hell, lust is also an emotion so sex is emotional regulation. In the first place, there's really no such thing as sexual. It's just a category that we made up, as such something being sexual or non-sexual doesn't mean anything.

Sexualization of bdsm
DIGI@DiGi__Official
honestly the sexualization of bdsm is problematic asf

@The_Right_Ryder What makes the word a “buzzword”? What, precisely, is wrong about using it to accurately describe a person?
English
@LetsConsider @QueenMab87 Except I was referring to cisgender obviously. Sorry If I needed to dumb that down for you.
huffpost.com/entry/what-cis…
English
I really hate that y’all are making me defend cis men but I’m just really not going to sit here and listen to you tell me that all the men in my life actually just want to violently dehumanize and degrade me
English
@dasnielsenson For the same reason I don’t feel the need to prove why 2 πr is the circumference of a circle. Your questions aren’t radical or new, and if you’re struggling with them you should consult the people who studied them for decades and shaped modern philosophy.
English
@LetsConsider if you understand objective reality well enough, why can't you provide your own reasoning besides stating assumptions and backing it with appeal to authority?
English
@dasnielsenson “I think therefore I am”
If you want someone to prove the concept of existence, and being able to observe your surroundings, check Descartes. It takes a little more than 280 characters.
English
@LetsConsider we infer what objectivity might be, but the neutral observer assumption is an easily disproven axiom, collapsing the idea that science is objective/infallible
and in a technocratic society with textbooks from Robert Maxwell and Epstein controlling research, who is independent?
English
@jane_plainly Okay. I’ll bite. Do you think you can be a leftist, or a feminist, without also being pro-trans rights?
English
@year_ofthesnake @themarinadove you are not a leftist if you are not a feminist.
Happy to help.
You are some form of online fascist cult probalby influenced by the CIA.
English
kinda have to laugh at the ironic misogyny yall are doing. radical feminism should not be treated as some kind of flippant phase for 19-22 year olds. It is a fringe political theory of Liberal politics that targets vulnerable women to radicalize them into bigoted SW/TERFs
English
@DunningKitten @YugoEnjoyer Ah yes, my favorite wikislop game, Portal
The most Wikislop game is actually Team Fortress
Hades is really such a Wikislop game, I can’t play it without the wiki
Hollow Knight? Oh man, I require that Wiki to use my ears to find the map
Tetris? Wikislop. All the way.
English
@YugoEnjoyer The only thing that this does not apply to are linear story games.
Any game beyond a certain depth cannot intuitively scaffold the gameplay experience.
Noita is on that image, but you could conceivably naturally discover every secret in the game.
English
@dasnielsenson … there’s a lot of leaps of logic
We can objectively measure and analyze reality, even when our senses are insufficient. These can be independently verified.
You’re behind on “I think, therefore I am” discourse, try to catch up
Actually just read enlightenment theory
English
@LetsConsider if humans are imperfect biological computers that came into existence by chance, then there's no logical reason to expect our senses and logic to accurately represent reality
if that's true, then logic and proof is entirely subjective even if objective reality exists
English
@undericio @NEO_SLACKER @NotChronicSonic Why is it misogyny to use generic names that fit the group you are talking to when talking to that group? Note, the names used do not have a negative sentiment/association in the way Karen does.
English
@NEO_SLACKER @NotChronicSonic @GWAMtweets if that’s true then that would be the misogyny OP is referring to. people have been saying that referring to random women as a “karen” is misogynistic, this would be the same sentiment
English
Never misses a chance to be a fucking misogynist, does he

@AkpCharles @JenResistedAGN Believe in God. That’s not the same as believing in demons. They’re actually very different things.
English
@JenResistedAGN Why’re you shoving your atheism on everyone ?
English
@dasnielsenson What are you talking about dude
Did you think this was a good point? Or were you trying to write pseudo intellectual nonsense?
English
@JenResistedAGN what terrifies me the most is that people act like we know anything
how can people simultaneously claim that humans are monkeys who think they're too good for the trees AND that we can be certain about anything our monkey minds perceive?
does that logic not collapse on itself?
English
@UptownDonkey02 Why would that mean demons exist?
English
@JenResistedAGN Bacteria wasn't discovered until the late 1600s. It's very possible, almost certain, there are things in the universe we simply cannot see or detect yet.
English
@FascismIsBack @JenResistedAGN Aliens don’t give you permission for unilateral violence against anyone who disagrees with you. Being in a stimulation isn’t exactly common, I think that’d be more along the lines of being schizophrenic.
English
@JenResistedAGN Ppl believe in aliens and that we live in a simulation, whats the difference? Ppl believe anything.
