@beneuroscience@neuromatch.social I've spent a whole life engaging reductionists & computationalists with curiosity. So now I can call them out in good faith for the utter bullshit they are heaping on humanity. Computationalism is an existential threat. I'm really tired playing Mr. Nice Guy with people who literally live in their model of the world, while screwing up the real world in the process. It may be unpleasant, but certainly not bad faith. Deal with it.

@beneuroscience@neuromatch.social One more thing: it'd be nice if at least some AI nerds & computationalist neuroscience people would engage with the kinds of criticisms they get from me (and others with similar arguments) in good faith and with an open mind. They are the mainstream in power, after all, so should be comfortable with a bit of critique. All I get is a wall of silence (see @tyrell_turing@fediscience.org's cop-out above, for example) & some dismissive slogans. And yet, you won't see me crying in a corner.
