pickShort and concise book on mind and consciousness.
I liked the emphasis on homeostasis, the definition of mind and mental images, and the distinction between mind and consciousness.

A little late for the book, but what a cute sticker I found! #DeadPhilosophersSociety

pickThis is amazingly philosophical. It addresses the neurology behind in-groups and out-groups. It clearly lays out the ways perception is entirely inside of our brains, and even how by the time we are aware of any given moment, that moment has already passed. Eagleman takes a profoundly complex topic and makes it accessible to the masses to the point that it becomes entirely enjoyable.

Tonight on The Americas, we got to see this octopus mate and her babies born. It wasn‘t long, but it was amazing! Highly recommend!!!

#DynamicDs #Doorway I read this long ago . People read it a lot in the drug infused 60s Huxley wrote both in the 1950s.
I got some new friends while we were reading. The top two are the same octopus, just reversed. The green side glows in the dark. The red one is much smaller and can actually sit on your shoulder via a little magnetic disk.

pickThis had way less philosophy than I was anticipating. I guess I misunderstood what was being discussed and described by the word “consciousness.” It was still a really interesting book. I have an all new appreciation for octopi, and my love of the sea is deeper than before. Maybe not a great book from a philosophical perspective, but still a really good book about life on earth, especially in the ocean.
