Probably in his psychedelic dreams he is. I think the more important question here is not about his happiness, but about the asker, and the reason for their interest in this subject.:)
No I don’t know; I think it is better to ask her directly about an online version. The lecture was not recorded, and she mentioned that it is her first public lecture about this topic.

Event poster for a lecture titled “On Loving the World: Revisiting the Scientific Image with Arendt and Haraway” by Ann-Sophie Barwich at Boston University, hosted by the Center for Philosophy and History of Science and the Department of Anthropology.
Attended a talk by Ann-Sophie Barwich @smellosopher.bsky.social on science, embodiment, amor mundi (Arendt).
It raised an interesting question for me: how does love for the world relate to analyses of embodied consciousness in institutional contexts?

Check out the ENSO Seminar Series if you are interested in embodied and enactive approaches to cognitive science...

There are many wonderful ideas to be explored on the ENSO website: www.ensoseminars.com/people
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing
I don't think science can explain consciousness but it's crucial for helping us to understand it.
Klinefelter syndrome 47, xxy
Hypogonadism, adipose tissue inflammation, and adipose tissue circadian clock disruption promote metabolic dysfunction in Klinefelter syndrome” (Feb 13, 2026)
What if metabolic rhythm is part of cognitive architecture?
Recent research on Klinefelter (47,XXY) #intersex variation suggests persistent systemic dysregulation beyond hormones.
In this context, self-regulation and bodily sensitivity may be constitutive of #embodiedcognition and consciousness.
It's a great pleasure to announce a second workshop on questions of measurement!
While our first workshop was dedicated to questions of measurement in #ConSci, this workshop focuses on the foundations of measurement across the sciences.
This Essay interrogates the work of Walter Mignolo, a significant theorist of decoloniality, and asks: Is it enough to be a theoretician when it comes to decolonisation, or does it require an active engagement in politics?

Thank you for your article! That’s why in my research, I am focusing on the phenomenological structure of embodied lived experiences and consciousness among intersex migrants.
Intersex human rights: a double-edged sword by Mireia Garces de Marcilla
A central argument of the article is that human-rights frameworks translate lived suffering into juridical categories, risking a misdescription of its phenomenological texture.
In my research on #intersex migration, I use #micro-phenomenology to rethink autonomy, agency beyond procedural models.

On Feb 23-24, I participated in the BAMΞ workshop “Towards a Measurement Theory for Consciousness Science”
Great discussions on how to relate phenomenology, measurement theory, and embodied experience in #consci research.
I shared some reflections here www.linkedin.com/posts/aleksa...
Transmission theory of #consciousness: the idea that the brain does not produce consciousness but rather modulates or channels it?
As I understand it, the TV series Westworld can serve as a loose illustrative metaphor for this theory?
A new preprint, co-authored with @johnwkrakauer.bsky.social:
The Deliberation Taboo
Cognitive science is, nominally, the science of thinking. We argue that the field has no theory of what thinking is and, even worse, that the topic has largely dropped out of focus. 1/

I think it is good advice for writing any essay, especially if English is your second language

Snow storm
I have never seen so much snow in my entire life, even in the South of Siberia, where I am originally from. I cannot even open the front door! I am currently in Greenport, NY. And snow is still going… at least I am lucky I still have light and heat

Memory
Saw Maybe Happy Ending for my birthday, a beautiful story about love, memory, and what it means to be human in the age of AI.
A musical about humanoid helper-bots that gently explores agency, subjectivity, memory erasure, and post-human ethics.

In this case, he faces a difficult choice between cynicism and transparency with his voters.
It looks like a sad example of progressive populism. When fiscal design is weak, social promises, including trans rights, lack durable funding. Equity requires not just rhetoric, but stable, financing that actually sustains care and protection.
Thank you :)
Birthday today. Another year around the sun. Grateful for the journey, the questions that guide my research, and the communities that make this work possible. Celebrate my day with my partner in NYC 🎉🥳 #birthday

My first day in NYC began with a new exhibition “Gainsborough: The Fashion of Portraiture” at The Frick Collection and followed by a walk through Central Park and along the High Line. This time, the city feels like a city of young lovers, couples of all kinds. 🥰🙂 #NYC #vacation #art
The claim is not that consciousness is a fundamental property alongside spin and charge. The claim is that spin and charge are themselves forms of consciousness.
Boston Camerata
John Dowland 1563-1626
Today I attended a #Renaissance & Baroque #music ensemble Boston Camerata. It felt almost magical to hear the works of English lutenist John Dowland (1563–1626) performed live. Afterwards, I even got to speak with one of the musicians about how they discover and prepare early music.
