At long last, a new episode of Deconstructing Yourself: the brilliant @shamilch on Meditation and the Bayesian Brain. Predictive Processing, AI, the phenomenal self model, and more. Time to reset your top level priors. :)

Happy to announce that my (very overdue) Deconstructing Yourself interview with @vervaeke_john is in the final stages of production. Should be done by the end of the week, at the latest.
Very excited and happy to announce that we'll be having a Death Sangha at The Alembic on the Saturday before Halloween. It's special because this is the first IN PERSON ONLY Death Sangha since the pandemic began.
