I just bought and read some Lovecraft stories, coincidentally. The Rats in the Walls is also a great one.
I was actually reminded to read his work because of the Vaselines song called Lovecraft, although I have no idea if it has any relation to the writer really

ok maybe you should read a couple of stories just because he's a cultural milestone [i hope this makes sense in english] but i dont expect your life will change after that. "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward" was a good one in my opinion.

@batlord me i would 100/100 times prefer poe or guy de maupassan over lovecraft.

I wonder what it's like to be Mindfulness' teacher and be forced to read all about mindfulness for a semester?

That doesn't mean he doesn't pour himself a bourbon before reading one of your papers.

Quote:
What panpsychism offers us is a simple, elegant way of integrating consciousness into our scientific worldview. Strictly speaking, it cannot be tested; the unobservable nature of consciousness entails that any theory of consciousness that goes beyond mere correlations is not strictly speaking testable. But I believe it can be justified by a form of inference to the best explanation: Panpsychism is the simplest theory of how consciousness fits in to our scientific story.

While our current scientific approach offers no theory at all — only correlations — the traditional alternative of claiming that consciousness is in the soul leads to a profligate picture of nature in which mind and body are distinct. Panpsychism avoids both of these extremes, and this is why some of our leading neuroscientists are now embracing it as the best framework for building a science of consciousness.

This is what happens when you play in boxes as a kid.

Boxes are a gateway to tree forts. It's really sad.
