Octopus, Seahorse, Jellyfish | David Liittschwager

Thanks to @Eggs & @TheSpineView for the #WondrousWednesday tags.🤗

1. Currently I‘m pet-less. It was 2 years ago in Feb that I lost my Max🐱💔after 19 years. He had a tough last year & my heart hasn‘t been ready for another yet. I feel I‘ll know when the time is right.

2. I read & enjoy both F & NF as long as they aren‘t sad. I just can‘t do sad animal books.😭

3. The tagged is a fave NF & Remarkably Bright Creatures is a fave fiction.💙🐙💙

JenReadsAlot Oh Max ❤️ 2mo

quietlycuriouskate Oh, lovely Max! I totally get what you mean about your heart not being ready. 2mo

CBee Sad animal books are not for me, either. If I don‘t know about it beforehand and something happens to an animal, I‘ve been known to stop reading. 2mo

Mimi28 Sorry to hear about Max 😢😿 I know what you mean about getting another pet 2mo

Other Minds: The Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness | Peter Godfrey-Smith

We‘ve officially reached the end of the book… or at least the post for the last discussion. Final thoughts? Any snide remarks? I‘m here for whatever you‘ve got. lol

CatLass007 Thank you for the tag. I‘m sorry I missed the group discussions. I hope I get to participate in the discussions for the next book. 3mo

AlaSkaat I expected more philosophy, and I think if I had started the book with only cephalopods and biology in mind, I would have enjoyed it more. I kept waiting for the philosophy to begin and felt like something was missing. 🤷‍♀️ 3mo

AlaSkaat That said, I still found it fascinating. I knew very little about octopuses before so their behavior and intelligence was new to me.
It‘s a shame they only live for a few years. They don‘t get to pass down their knowledge with each generation like us. Wonder how it‘d be if they could communicate And lived longer 3mo

AlaSkaat I‘m confused about what consciousness or intelligence is now. Is it just an awareness of our surroundings or ability to communicate that awareness? Do they have consciousness or just intelligence? (edited) 3mo

GingerAntics @AlaSkaat consciousness, as its most basic level is the subjective experience of being. So basically, you know you exist. It‘s been a discussion in philosophy for millennia, pretty much from the beginning of philosophy. Biology discussing consciousness is fairly new. I wish he had defined his terms, because I feel like maybe he is using it interchangeably with intelligence. 3mo

GingerAntics @AlaSkaat Of course, without being able to talk with a cephalopod, you cannot know if they have consciousness or not. I don‘t think communication is necessarily limited to creatures with consciousness and to claim such is simply short sighted (and small sighted if that‘s a thing). 3mo

GingerAntics @AlaSkaat this book was definitely more science than philosophy, and I think consciousness is used slightly different between science and philosophy. I believe the definition is slightly different, but the actually differences in what is means when a scientist vs a philosopher talk about and does research with consciousness is quite remarkably different. 3mo

Octopi are high fiving each other. Hm.
#PeterGodfreySmith #OtherMinds #Philosophy #AdventuresInPhilosophy #DeadPhilosophersSociety

CatLass007 I bought this book because your group is reading it and because I love Remarkably Bright Creatures. I haven‘t read it yet but I look forward to doing so. Who hosts your philosophy group? I‘d like to be added to the tag list. I know everyone is taking their time with this book but I‘m interested in this book in particular and the group in general. 3mo

GingerAntics @CatLass007 I do, actually. I can definitely add you to the tags. 3mo

CatLass007 Excellent! Thank you so much! Could you please explain to me how the buddy read works? And exactly what is the name of the buddy read? I noticed you had a couple of hashtags that included the word “philosophy.“ 3mo

GingerAntics @CatLass007 we are the dead philosophers society… and we have adventures in philosophy. lol We usually take about 4-6 weeks off between books to let things process and let people catch up. This is the first book I didn‘t post discussion questions, so we may go back to that. I‘m not sure. We‘ll pick another book in the next week or so, and then I‘ll post the reading schedule. We usually do a chapter a week. 3mo

CatLass007 Thank you.😊 3mo

Well, this was an interesting chapter. I did not need to know about that one guy‘s funeral plans. I can‘t help wondering if he actually got his wish, though.

TheBookHippie This chapter seemed weird. Or it‘s me 😮‍💨😵‍💫🥴😂 3mo

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie then I‘m weird, too. It was weird. “This is how cephalopods and weird scientists die!” 3mo

AlaSkaat Spoilers, spoilers, I‘m almost there!! 😂 I‘ve had a very bad past 2 weeks, I‘m just starting this chapter. I‘ll be back 🫡 3mo

GingerAntics @AlaSkaat you‘re good… no spoilers 3mo

Welcome to the philosophy section of the book. I would have liked to see more of the book touch on these things, but at least we got some genuine philosophy going on here.

@TheBookHippie @ravenlee @JaclynW @RavenLovelyReads @AlaSkaat @bnp

GingerAntics This chapter took me back, emotionally speaking. I remember as a fairly young child, thinking about thinking, and wondering if anyone else thought about thinking. When I tried asking my parents, they asked me what was wrong with me, and told me I was weird. It took until I got to college to discover that I was just a natural born philosopher. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Go figure. 3mo

TheBookHippie It‘s interesting right? Although I‘ve enjoyed it all it needs a focus point 😂 3mo

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie same! I felt like it wasn‘t sure where it was going. It has all been very interesting to read, but it has felt very much like we‘re just sort of flowing with the tide as it were. 3mo

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics yes!!!! 🐙🌊 3mo

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics She thinks too deeply was written on all my report cards 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3mo

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ sometimes, I think these notes should lead to teachers being removed from the profession. You literally just don‘t want to deal with a thinking human being, while having a hissy fit when said thinking human being out thinks you. 3mo

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics not in a parochial school… 😅 3mo

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie so true 3mo

Octopus's Garden: with audio recording | Ringo Starr

pick

3 ⭐ This isn‘t a book so much as a song with pictures added. The original Octopus‘s Garden came out in 1969. This is a little funny, but when you hear the music, it makes so much more sense. This book is really about the illustration. The illustrations are done well, and I think if it was done correctly, this could be a lot of fun at story time.

lil1inblue My sister used this book for her music program at the preschool she worked at. The kids loved it when paired with some music education! 3mo

LibrarianRyan @lil1inblue nice! 3mo

How is everyone‘s reading experience going? I greatly enjoyed the part discussing seeing without experiencing sight. I wonder what that is like.

kspenmoll I am contemplating bailing only because I have to return the book to the library . I am also soooo far behind because I was so sick most of February. 3mo

GingerAntics @kspenmoll that‘s fair… I‘m struggling with it not being all that philosophical. It‘s in there in pieces, but it‘s mostly about marine biology, to me. 3mo
