@michaelpollan "Nagel...famously summarized the problem: Why is it “like” something to be alive? Why are we here, aware, rather than nowhere, being nothing? .. . .we are not one iota closer to a definitive solution than the cavemen were." Not 1 iota?! What do Nagel himself or @Mark_Solms think?

Michael Pollan says the origin of consciousness is with feelings, not thoughts. Not the cortex where reasoning happens, but the brainstem where a living body regulates itself against the world. Consciousness may arise from friction with reality. Today’s AI processes information. It does not regulate a vulnerable body with metabolic needs. If feeling is foundational, computation alone may never be enough.

@sektundselters @BecomingCritter There is a science that bridges all science, but it is not secret! Also: it is a method, a method which leads to the discovery of multiple laws, all of which are reconcilable with each other, although they are not reducible to one law. They are merely the products of one method.

Over the past few days, I have been recording the audio version of a new book, to appear on the shelves in February (in the UK) and June (in the US). Title: 'The Only Cure'.

A review of my about-to-be-published book. I hope there is no pay wall. This book is not going to win me many friends. But it says what I truly believe needs to be said ... theguardian.com/books/2026/jan…

@Mark_Solms Do you address Freud’s rejection of the seduction theory and the reality of childhood sexual abuse?
