@beneuroscience@neuromatch.social ... fundamental philosophical issues that scientists really *should* be thinking about today.
This kind of discussion would reveal just how shaky much of contemporary research in the life & neurosciences is, not to mention AI research (which is the most metaphysically confused of all) ...
Being nice just leads to deadly silence. That's the standard discussion suppression mechanism. I try to break through it by being a pain in the ass. It's not pleasant, but it often works.

@yoginho@spore.social Welp I can't say I agree with the approach, but thanks for explaining so I understand where it comes from. Nice to know it's a persona and that you're not actually a jerk :)

@yoginho@spore.social @beneuroscience@neuromatch.social “being nice leads to deadly silence”?? 100% disagree. BUT I have to work so I will not engage in a debate about it with someone whose aim is to make themselves heard by not being nice… might come back to this later though :)
