Dr. Mazviita Chirimuuta is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy in the School of Philosophy, Psychology & Language Sciences at the University of Edinburgh. She has focused on philosophical issues around vision, mind-brain and consciousness, and in the last few years she has mostly been writing about the problem of color, and how ideas from neuroscience can bring fresh light on the realism vs. anti-realism debate. She is the author of Outside Color: Perceptual Science and the Puzzle of Color in Philosophy, and The Brain Abstracted: Simplification in the History and Philosophy of Neuroscience.
In this episode, we focus on The Brain Abstracted. We talk about the thesis of the book, and the challenges of studying the brain. We discuss simplifying strategies in neuroscience, and why scientists seek simplicity. We talk about a pluralist approach to neuroscience. We explore the illustrative example of reflex theory. We discuss computational approaches, the limits of modeling, and representations. We compare computational-representational approaches to dynamical systems approaches to the motor cortex. We talk about machine learning approaches, whether AI can be conscious, and embodied cognition. Finally, we discuss the relation between philosophy and science.

the tic tac ships are Cargo alien space ships, they bring cargoes from other planetary systems to their nests (underground basements on planet earth), the highly advanced technology that their spacecrafts show is the result of deep understanding of gravity (they connected the both levels “subatomic and cosmological levels “), who deciphered Gravity doesn’t need wings !

[@aminam9201]

They will need this too (very important): they have to understand that human logic is universal but the concepts of good and evil are just just human concepts (specific to humans and some other living entities on planet earth but they are not universal concepts).

[@aminam9201]

My Vehicle has been almost completely destroyed. They have studied human race thoroughly (as a result of experiments on humans that have lasted for thousands of years).

[@aminam9201]

I sent to the authorities of one country four cases (semi-humans being used as slaves or “hunting tools”), which are 100% confirmed cases. Specific types are being targeted (very weak psychologically and mentally to be used as hunting tools), and I mentioned to them how to monitor them, in case what I wrote on them was taken. Seriously, these authorities will be able to obtain samples of Substance X, And how serious and dangerous it is, they hunt humans (human sacrifices), including children, and more details have been mentioned about that. This is not for publication, but if there are authorities who might read this, they can confirm that (there is no such opportunity to study confirmed cases). . This is not new at all, it has happened throughout thousands of years of human history.
