Hard disagree. Yes, there are WL vibes, but even in its second season, Beef *seriously* outperforms WL (which is just getting progressively hollow).

While hitting the submit button on my report to a journal, another invitation popped into my inbox at that very second.

Wonderful! And I wonder what happened to the same program in Czechia...

Thanks for your interest, Johannes. This is an on-site and a bit informal gathering - but why don't you hop on a train and come to Prague to debate with us? We'd love to have you!

I look forward to participating in the Magdeburg-Prague Colloquium on Structuralism in Consciousness Science, scheduled for March 12, and at which @tmarvan.bsky.social and I will ask the question whether 'neurophenomenal structuralism' could serve as a general theory of consciousness.

One week left, send your abstracts!

Can there be multiple distinct mechanisms of consciousness, as some authors have recently suggested? And what would be the implications for consciousness research as a unified scientific endeavour? With Lukas Kob, we adress these questions in this freshly minted preprint

#consci

I expect many scientists still on X think the moral question of whether it's the right thing to support a cooked racist is irrelevant/doesn't personally apply, or believe they are somehow making a stand for science by staying. I don't understand either position, personally

Yes! You have to work twice as hard to get the same start as in the "Western" Europe.
