Have to go to Perth tomorrow to see some crappy band play in some crappy sand quarry.
I hate Perth.
I used to be take-it-or-leave-it, now I just hate it.
And I hate outdoor “festival” gigs. I always have.

A mild 16 and a bit in Melbourne atm. Will heat up a bit over the next few days.

At least that Andrews carnt has gone. But still suffering that Jacinta carnt.

Suffered 3 months of it so far. At least the local serves schooners for $8

ChatGPT

Isn’t it true that philosophers who haven’t kept themselves updated with developments in neuroscience continue to believe in existence of mind as an entity?

Yes, many philosophers who have not engaged with contemporary neuroscience might maintain traditional or dualistic views of the mind as an independent, non-physical entity. This perspective, often associated with Cartesian dualism, posits that the mind and body are fundamentally distinct.

However, developments in neuroscience challenge this view by increasingly demonstrating that mental processes correlate with and depend on brain activity. These findings have led to the growing influence of physicalist and materialist perspectives, which argue that the mind arises from and is inseparable from the physical brain.

Skiting alert: My artwork has been recognised! Libs of TikTok used an image that was created by me.
I feel sooooooooo important.

This isn’t as high up the totem pole as, say, the shoeshine boy who shined Trump’s shoes before the inaugural ball, but us nobodies take small wins when we get them!

  1. ChatGPT Isn’t it true that philosophers who haven’t kept themselves updated with developments in neuroscience continue to believe in existence…

  2. Barely intelligible. Don’t hang shit on stuff you obviously haven’t experienced. You are a ‘tard in my mind.
