Cool article, also sad I think I read that Asimov press is going on hiatus of some kind.

Interesting, ill go down a rabbit hole on this, ACR to detect commercials and activate mute? Or play some spa music, then back to main audio when commercials are over, that would be pretty cool use of ACR

Egan has some pretty awesome books, I've read Permutation City and Axiomatic both pretty great.

This is really amazing, I was daydreaming recently and thought how cool it would be to create something like that. I am glad that you've taken the initiative to get it going. Looks awesome will check it out, love Greg Bear too, just recommended Blood Music to a good friend.

There is this from Max - https://journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevE.61.41...

Yup, even the Dioso-Penrose limit has two sides. https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.13490

Paraphrasing here: The paper above was looking for energy given off during collapse, (which they did not find) on the Diosi side, where Penrose' idea is more in the retro-causal, you wouldn't find an energy signature. I am sure someone can call out a better representation, but similar to your response that Roger has these ideas and looks for collaborators, but still has his own ideas on things that may differ.

Interesting seeing this conversation going on, Roger / Stuarts work has been trashed over the years, Max Tegmark did the maths and said brain is too wet/warm for any quantum stuff, but we've been finding this in tubulin* and other places, never retracted the paper.

Either way, consciousness is amazing, and a mystery, anyone interested should come to Tucson in April for Towards a science of Consciousness, good conversations, interesting people, usually more questions than answers.

Sweet, will have to play around with this. It's incredible to watch the people who know how to actually play.

Yeah, Terry is a rockstar, and pumping out tons of papers. Maybe they google scholared, list by citations?

Greetings! I pinged you on an old thread, what kind of research are you working on? Saw your old Penrose comment, and organoid research.

Can do! What is your research field?
