Thank you for sharing it. Can I use it for my references?

Edward O. Wilson in 2009: “The real problem of humanity is the following: we have paleolithic emotions; medieval institutions; and god-like technology. And it is terrifically dangerous, and it is now approaching a point of crisis overall.” (thank you @kottke.org)

ISTP 2026 Conference – “Theorizing in Dark Times - Art, Narrative, Politics” Deadline Extended: Submit Your Proposal by December 10, 2025! The International Society for Theoretical Psychology (ISTP), will host its 2026 conference at Pratt Institute’s Brooklyn Campus, which […]

Pleased to share that my proposal “Consciousness Under Constraint: Rethinking Identity Through the Lived Experience of Intersex Migrants” has been accepted for ISTP 2026 International at @pratt.edu (June 8–12).

21 century eugenics, scientific racism and the role of academia in promoting political ideology by Rebecca Sear

“eugenics” appeared to waive in popularity after the SWW?

Why is eugenic ideology still thriving in academia?

The scientific consensus on race

Grateful to @wiringthebrain.bsky.social for the opportunity to attend @rebeccasear.bsky.social’s compelling talk on how #eugenic and scientific-racist ideas persist in academia. It raised urgent questions for me about embryo genetic editing, and the curent Western immigration policy.

I remember how challenging it was to apply for a work permit every 6 months. The cost alone was difficult, but the bureaucratic delays made it even worse. You could end up waiting longer than the permit’s validity, putting your employment at risk. It was an incredibly stressful system to navigate 😔

Fascinating PNAS study on bodily self-perception: how the awareness connects with embodied action, and how embodiment is foundational to selfhood. A biologically grounded account that can enrich my phenomenological & enactive approach. #consci #embodiment #enactivism

Sounds very interesting! Thank you for sharing

Happy to announce that I’ve been accepted to participate online in the Paradigms in Consciousness Science Workshop (Dec 10–12, 2025). Looking forward to the conversations and insights this gathering will bring. #consciousness

If our thinking is shaped by the whole body, not just the brain, then imagine what it means to grow up with a body that’s different from birth, as #intersex people do. How does a different morphology shape embodied self-experience & embodied cognition, perception, and the sense of “being me”? #4E

Cool! There is a virtual option too! #consci

On the weekend I visited the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, MA. Every time I go to this local museum, I’m struck by the compelling work on display. This time the exhibition explored both the history of the 19th Amendment and the contemporary women’s rights movement. #art #womenrights

Consciousness is not a single thing

Interdisciplinarity

All sort of implications of Consciousness

The #FrontiersForum webinar on “Consciousness Science: Where Are We Going?” affirmed that my work on embodied #consciousness, micro-phenomenology, & the lived experience of #intersex migrants aligns with the interdisciplinary expansion the field now calls for.

The Strange things 5

I’m really impressed. I just finished the incredible episode 4 of #StrangerThings season 5, and I didn’t expect such a powerful queer-acceptance storyline at the very center of the plot. It feels so relevant to my own experience as an intersex queer child. #QueerRepresentation #lgbtqia

I’m actually starting to work on coding interview data myself, so I can’t give an answer yet.
And like you, I am worried that even if AI increases consistency, without a solid methodological framework it could replace human bias with a less visible, but more structural one.

Neuro anthropology

Yes, I love it :) and I had a short but very interesting conversation with one of the authors: Greg Downey

I completely agree - pluralism only becomes meaningful when the perspectives can actually engage one another, where phenomenological insights inform neuroscientific interpretation, and neuroscientific findings help refine phenomenological distinctions.

Or maybe develop special AI translator between different epistemological systems of knowledge 😉

Cactus

I was invited to attend the American family of my partner. The tradition of Thanksgiving is still very new to me

The day of gratitude from my winter cactus:)

Yes, I understand it very well. As an LGBTQI activist, I had to escape from Russia in 2014 to the USA. And since that time, I know that if I get back, I can be arrested. So what is happening with these people it is a disaster. They came to this country to look for protection and now … 😞

Also, even though micro-pheno captures the micro-dynamics of experience, it doesn’t address the broader contextual layers. Approaches like neuroanthropology can complement it on that level. This is exactly why a non-hierarchical, pluralistic framework makes sense.

2/2 First- and third-person methods address different layers of the same phenomenon, so neither can replace the other. What we need is a non-hierarchical, framework where both approaches mutually inform one another in their own languages, ideally with a conceptual mediator that can bridge them.

1/2 I’d also add that micro-phenomenology shouldn’t be treated as something supplementary to neuroscience or something that needs to be “updated” under neuroscientific standards

I think the real issue is that we rarely consider a partnership in studying consciousness - epistemic pluralism

Study by Petitmengin show seizure and migraine precursors that standard measures can’t detect (2007; 2017). Micro-pheno also captures fine-grained dynamics in meditation (Valenzuela-Moguillansky & Petitmengin 2019). Plus this ongoing clinical project: ⬇️

Thank you for your answer. It matches what I’ve been observing as well. I hope that interdisciplinarity, such as mathematical consciousness, science, or enactive/4E approaches, might offer new pathways for integrating methods at this stage. In this context, open dialogue is essential.
