Our house is on fire. Join the resistance: Do no harm/take no shit. My idiosyncratic and confluent bricolage of progressive politics, the collaborative commons, next generation cognitive neuroscience, American pragmatism, de/reconstruction, dynamic systems, embodied realism, postmetaphysics, psychodynamics, aesthetics. It ain't much but it's not nothing.

More on free will
See this talk by Susan Blackmore on free will. We had a previous discussion on free will here.
Near the end of it was a link to Thompson's YouTube series on the topic
from his combined neuroscientific and Buddhist perspective. And here is the Thompson thread, where he uses Damasio's ideas to elucidate
top-down causation, which presupposes ipseity and will. I personally
prefer these approaches to Blackmore's more traditional Buddhist no-self
perspective. Blackmore mentioned Peter Tse's recent work, as did I on the previous
page for his new book. The New Scientist article Blackmore references
requires a subscription to access. I somewhere linked before to his 2
hour YouTube talk but have yet to listen to the whole thing.
