Thanks for sharing and re insights #3 how do we organize and structure communities and society to support mothers, those actively primary parenting so that all families & children are successful and #4 early days = situationally defined, could be years if sensory, physical, and/or learning differences. Side note breastfeeding is a fulltime job, energy wise to produce and feed milk for atleast first 9mos.

Let me know how Mistborn is! I think I’ll dive into Sanderson once I finish the Dune series. Which if you haven’t read the Dune series, I highly recommend it. Lots of hidden wisdoms and just an exhilarating read.

I'm liking it so far. I've read Dune 1 a couple times but haven't done the full series, I know I need to, I've heard 4 is amazing.

This is lovely, thank you so very much for the shout-out. I thoroughly look forward to reading your (spontaneously inspired) essay on AI consciousness/computation.

It’s a philosophical premise, by no means certain, that consciousness is “fundamental, not emergent”

For sure, I was steel-manning Hoffman's perspective, but it's one I align with, along with Kastrup's analytical idealism - though I see this primordial consciousness as itself participating in dependent origination rather than standing outside it (and hold it all very lightly)
