@TruthSandwich Not sure if you noticed but i added ActivityPub support to static page blogs.. so your blog posts will show on the fediverse... let me know if you are interested, only sharing because I noticed you share your blog alot, this way you can just reboost your blog.

@patrickgillam

income inequality shouldnt be seen as a "problem".. if there is a problem then it is simply the quality of life of those with little or no money, or the lack of opportunity for them.

@lxo Im not suggesting language or learning are what make us unique. I am suggesting have a subconscious mind does make us specialhowever.. and by that i dont mean "instincts" I mean a seperate compartmentalized brain capable of independent thought.

@AncientGood Me, but it was a joke post (I do like spice though)

@realcaseyrollins haha i left a few months ago thankfully :)

@realcaseyrollins I am not, but thank you.

Add a summary of blog posts as well as some simple formatting to the posts made.. I decided against adding the full content of the post mainly because it would loose most of the formatting and may render garbage in long format.

Either way ActivityPub for static websites is coming along nicely.

@Dogzilla

I am proposing as these two independent minds where one is the one that is in direct control of things like speech, its the one I am talking to right now... a second one only interacts with this "primary" mind. It acts by frantically coming up with countless ideas and the ones which it determines is most important it presses upon the primary mind and passes that information along to it.

Both of these minds are compartmentalized in that they think independently.

The hypothesis is not that animals have two minds, humans do.. Other animals may either have a very reduced primary mind, or may just have 1, or 0.. but the hypothesis is that it is effectively one less than humans.

@Dogzilla

Not sure why we need a definition for a word that doesnt play a role... Whether either of these two independent minds are conscious or not is not part of the discussion.. It is about if animal minds are compartmentalized or not.

@TruthSandwich I mean, they could have responded by ending apartheid on palestine, but instead they double down.. they really never will learn their lesson.

@Dogzilla

Assuming we dont bother trying to get a technical definition for a moment and just accept it as what you are expierncing as awareness.. I would argue both the conscious and subconscious mind has consciousness separately. In that my subconscious is only hidden from me, and I am likely hidden from it.

@mian yes octopussies ( :) ) certainly plan things before acting in some sense.

@mian Much of my internal land scape isnt limited to conditional logic either. For example much of it is a visual landscape which i manipulate (graphs are common)

@mian I dont use language in my conscious brain all the time... so im not sure I agree, my conscious brain is quite rich in non-verbal expression and the only time i use words is if i am trying to construct a conversation.

@Dogzilla

A definition of the conscious and subconscious mind **is** central... a definition of consciousness is not ..

whether the conscious or subconscious mind pocess consciousness is not relevant to identifying them.

@hugoledoux

Everyone: light themes are the worst, they burn my retinas

Tonsky: Hold my beer...

@john Right, and I guess i am saying I disagree... your motor functions dont have creative active thought that is then presented to the conscious mind for consideration.. the skills obviously can autonomously process but they wont actively go off and create complicated ideas on their own.

this can be seen

@john

I think we are talking about different types of subconscious and using the word different..

You are using subconscious to mean "everything we are unaware of". I am using it to mean "a seperate active thinking but compartmentalized entity in our head". It would likely have awareness much like the part that we call "us" is aware.
