I have a hard time understanding how you could call the processes which dictate our consciousness consciousness itself.

How? Doing otherwise would be self contradiction lol

When they correlate pretty directly with subjective experience, it's weird to suggest that they aren't.

I've never denied the existence of subjective experience, only that it can be explained more appropriately without invoking an additional construct like consciousness. That "consciousness" is, in fact, well on its way to being understood under such other more valid cognitive neuroscience constructs such as "visual processing", "attention", "working memory".

I'm not too sure you are understanding what I'm saying.

Again, without any proper definition, you're just elevating subjective sense because it feels profound, not because it is. "Consciousness" can be fully explained in reference to other better defined neuroscience constructs, but you don't feel like it answers the question of consciousness only because they are mechanistic, physical and not metaphysical.

If you can explain any unique contribution of the concept consciousness to brain function, I'll revoke my statement. However, as it currently stands, consciousness is just a poorly defined unfalsifiable construct that lays vestigial on top of actually well defined constructs within cognitive neuroscience.

that is an overly verbose way of saying that dudes with egos seem to glorify thought.

Thought is profound, subjective experience of thought is not.

I've never noticed any lag when playing games and using Vsync. Like, it's smooth as hell. Ya'll trippin'.

Are you playing with a controller or a mouse? It might be harder to notice with a controller, but it should be super obvious with a mouse.

Xbox One controller.

Vsync keeps your game at a stable 60 fps, so if you have a 60 hz monitor, this is an amazing option. What is there to hate? Since we have a powerful GPU and can run games well over 60, we need to use Vsync to keep the game capped at 60, because going over it would cause screen tearing. This is how I see it.

I think Alex Jones is joking. Even if he isn't he's still hilarious and is definitely a troll.

John Oliver is an unfunny loser.

Of course the slimy Oliver attacks him.

Was it your first or second time?
Didn't feel anything the first time and for like 40 minutes I didn't feel anything the second time, so I went on campus to study with a friend then BAM, I was higher than a kite

The resulting fallout of the 1st US President actually being impeached

What you mean is the first US president to actually be found guilty after impeachment.

Yeah but Impeachment is a process - Andrew Johnson beat Impeachment by 1 vote and Nixon resigned beforehand.

No one has been impeached

Stardew is more of a Harvest Moon kind of game.

imagine unironically liking Selena Gomez' music

You're comparing deviancy to the natural order of things. What's the matter with you, boy.

Rape is never acceptable

cannibalism does not apply to every animal.

Already you are being a militant vegan, jumping stereotypes left and right.

Solely because animals eating other animals is part of nature.
