5·3 months agoI believe your questions would be better directed at the topics of free will and inner monologue than sentience.
The mention of a “conscious” decision to loose an arrow leans more toward those than basic sentience.
Feelings are feelings; they’re a brain chemical response that assists with instinct development/control and reinforcing patterns of behavior. All evolutionary effects are, kinda, side effects, and the ones that help or don’t hurt too too much get kept.
Actual commentary on the topic
But, flipping back to the “you gotta learn when to loose the arrow”–not really? Like, that’s not exactly a conscious thing. You consciously analyze it after the fact, and (until you’re totally awesome at it) make a plan for what to do going into it, but done right it’s mostly a zen/muscle memory thing. Anecdata, sure, but I’m speaking as a decent amateur archer and highly adept firearm user.
I don’t know if my cats have a true train of thought, but I know they got better at pouncing with practice. There’s no inner monologue, but they’re conscious and sentient.
I’ve also been high enough to notice that my body just kind of does stuff without me prompting it, including real useful stuff like grabbing water and food–this goes back to the action potential thing in the neuroscience of free will article. We’re extremely complex systems that continue to exist and survive even when significant chunks of “the norm” are missing. Aphantasics can still create. Anendophasics can still put together stories and design intricate systems. We’re thoroughly redundant systems thanks to the sheer screwiness of evolution.
Nah, this was in a basement, far from windows
Not remotely. I had an indoor vented heated dryer and needed a huge dehumidifier running all the time. It actually just evaporated the water inside too, and made it even more humid. It DID catch the lint though, and I feel like the water helped with that.
I would recommend against one that was permanently mounted to the wall, like the one that was linked. Wall mounting is fine, but you’re gonna need to give it a good clean every few loads. It’s gonna get nasty.
Correct and anyone who feels otherwise is not to be trusted
Crazy how some people’s necks just do that
No, AAAs test against actual hardware.
Nah mutual aid and burning shit and deeding the propaganda are all pretty neat
I thought BadEmpanada had made it to the shit list for some reason or other
We puzzle demons want that too
Ooh, and are you dehydrated? Overhydrated? How are your salt levels? Salt is important. How about a daily multivitamin?
Actually, reading this again, your inner ear is probably going a bit off-program. I’d mention the symptoms to a doctor without accusing your neighbor, possibly an ENT or headache specialist. Maybe grab a motion sickness med (meclizine) and give it a try, it’ll call those signals a little.
Seriously get yourself checked out and see if the feelings persist in a hotel or in a friend’s place nearby. It’s entirely possible you’re getting blood pressure shifts on lying down that are causing other symptoms. Barometric pressure shifts can trigger all of these symptoms too, and the climate is getting pretty active lately. How are your sinuses? Could be sinus headaches. Take some decongestants.
The closest to an actual resolvable external cause for these symptoms is low frequency noise from data centers or unbalanced industrial cooling fans. Turn off any ac/heater you have, see if it persists. Check any exhaust fans. Maybe grab a decibel meter?
Havana couple of beers, eh?
Congrats you’re a communist now. Go buy a gun.
Can I ask why anyone doesn’t use, like, a browser? What’s the benefit?
