The late philosopher Daniel Dennett, in his book Consciousness Explained, wrote about his “multiple drafts model” of consciousness which includes the idea that our perceptions are driven partly by what we expect based on past experiences. I may have experienced this today.

The first photo, below, is a screenshot of an article I saw this morning. The second photo is one that I saw on social media a few months ago. When I saw the article associated with the first photo, I misread the caption as “Smartest otter…” instead of “Smallest otter….” I think it happened because of my memory of the smart otter in a second photo.

Photo of an otter in a muddy bog and a caption reading, “Smallest otter….”
Photo of a group of armed men with a sign that reads, “lotters will be shoot on sight” which was intended to read, “looters will be shot on sight.” Below is a photo of an otter wearing a French beret with the satirical caption, “l’Otters are not afraid.”

📰 Rich False Memories of Autobiographical Events Can Be Reversed (A free, 8-page article from 2021)

The Open Buddhist University · Rich False Memories of Autobiographical Events Can Be ReversedOver three repeated interviews, participants developed false memories of the suggested events under minimally suggestive conditions (27%) and even more so using massive suggestion (56%). We then used two techniques to reduce false memory endorsement, source sensitization and false memory sensitization. This reversed the false memory build-up over the first three interviews, returning false memory rates in both suggestion conditions to the baseline levels of the first interview.

"It is proposed that when these #autaxys -generated systems achieve a certain threshold of organizational sophistication—particularly involving recursive self-modeling, highly integrated informational processing, and coherent dynamic stability—new phenomenal properties, i.e., subjective experience, can and do emerge as an intrinsic aspect of that specific mode of autaxic patterning."

#Perception the key to #cognition, ie #body first not #mind.

'The findings imply that while the prefrontal cortex is essential for reasoning and planning, conscious experience may depend more heavily on sensory processing and visual perception. In simple terms, intelligence is about doing, but consciousness is about being.

The researchers also found that the back of the brain plays a critical role in holding detailed visual information, such as the orientation of an object. The frontal areas contribute too, but more in terms of identifying general categories, like recognizing an object as a face or a chair.

This challenges the long-standing idea that the front of the brain contains the full, detailed content of our visual experiences. Instead, the brain’s rear sensory regions may be more central to the richness of what we see.'

”[Friedrich] Schelling—and I—find it implausible that nature was ever entirely mindless. Instead, nature must have been seeded with proto-mentality from the outset… That realization forces us to revise our picture of nature before scientific investigation even begins.”

“In Plato’s Timaeus you begin to see what we would now call dualism… Aristotle systematizes this… Even so, radical dualism has not yet appeared. Leap to the 1600s. René Descartes codifies mind–body dualism… All subsequent modern philosophy wrestles with that divide—some thinkers tilt toward mind (idealism), others toward matter (materialism)… Contemporary cognitive science debates—“the hard problem” of consciousness—are variations on those early-modern dilemmas. For tens of thousands of years animism was humanity’s baseline; the last few centuries are the anomaly.”

“…primal cultures held animistic worldviews. They never separated mind and body; what we call “mind” permeated all things. …life was not mysterious—death was. Human societies built elaborate rituals around death because the disappearance of living presence was baffling. … Fast-forward to early-modern Europe. With the rise of mechanistic science, the polarity flips: death becomes the rule and life the anomaly that needs explaining. Something clearly shifted in humanity’s self-understanding.”

Poet's Dream, Odilon Redon

Odilon Redon is a favorite, the colors are so interesting, I wonder how color works in his mind, how he makes the decisions he makes about it.

People's strange minds are always a source of fascination. I keep falling asleep at night on the couch before I achieve my goal of doing a mastodon post before bed every night. wtf? Subconscious resistance? or just tired. Or possessed by a demon. It's a mystery.

mostly abstract painting with indication of sky and a hill and a face in orange. The androgynous face is looking up slightly in a dreamy way and before them are swirling colors
