Don't say that! I'm back down to eating meat once or twice per week. It's not
red meat to me, it's a nice warm bowl with some quinoa, sun-dried tomatoes,
black beans, maybe some olives and cilantro. Now *that* would make me vote for
you.

Subject: [FRIAM] grave of dualism (was much better than chatGPT)
Thanks for forwarding that paper. But figure 4 is, to me, WAY more interesting
than figures 1 or 3.
High-resolution image reconstruction with latent diffusion models from human
brain activity

And to understand why, consider taking a look at this:
Registration Pluralism and the Cartographic Approach to Data Aggregation across
Brains
https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1093/bjps/axz027
"Registration" is used in the same way we've been using it, perhaps more at the
cash register, play-doh, or cookie cutter extrusion than the logging/naming sense. But it
makes the point well that although within any 1 person, fMRI results can be fairly
stable, across individuals, not so much. Ward makes a compelling argument for pluralism.
Yes, I know, I'm equivocating on "dualism". Y'all consistently mean Cartesian mind-body
stuff. But pluralism really does extend to "mind" methods when they work best and body
methods when they work best, which is why JEHSmith's largely mental narrative is important to the
MoA for psychedelics.
Monism is a dead-end ... or worse, it's faith-based. Pluralism rules, dude.

That throws more dirt on the grave of dualism, it seems to me.

thanks for creeping me out (some more)!
I am askeered to imagine what kinds of images would be flashing around me if I
linked up via an EEG hairnet as I read this article!
