I'm teaching phenomenological psychology this Fall, complementing the brain, behavior and cognition course I thought this spring. After 15 years in the gov-industry desert, on a steady diet of minimally viable low-hanging fruit, it is an intellectual oasis. Reading suggestions?

Snapshots from the River of Consciousness. Along with rowing this Fall, I'll be teaching again at Duquesne. This time it will be the phenomenological side of psychology and consciousness - a complement to the natural science focused brain, behavior and cognition I taught in the

Hey DeSci, how decentralized is your community of researchers?.
Scientific claims that are published multiple times are more likely to replicate than if published only once. And this is especially so if the multiple publications are from *independent* teams

Science is in a death spiral, but the fixes are short-sighted and one-dimensional. Who is offering the best ideas to fix science at this point?.
Another indirect effect created by (paper mill) frauds. Cleaning up now leads to 'all science' is bad. You can never win as a sleuth, never. And the frauds, they happily continue. Publishers need to wake up! They are the ones to stop it but. hardly act.

In Jan 1947 The Atlantic republished this response letter from Norbert Wiener titled, "A Scientist Rebels". It went badly for him.

Outstanding discussion of blockchain, healthcare and DeSci hosted by @Brit_blockchain - where they have been putting science on chain since 2018. Glad to be part of it!

Hey DeSci, what's your change management strategy to increase adoption and scale?. You need more than hopes and memes

Looking forward to joining my friends across the pond at @Brit_blockchain for this discussion next week. BBA has been putting science onchain at their journal since 2018. They have also driven the blockchian roadmap for the UK and now many other countries, including the US.

Before AI there was cybernetics, before that teleology, and before that cerebral inhibition. While the first teleology conference took place in Jan 1945, this event almost 3 years earlier hosted the first public discussions of McCulloch and Pitts' first artificial neural net
