A starter pack for empirical aesthetics and neuroaesthetics! A small start, but I’m sure it will grow. I will add more folks as I find them. Ping me with your additions. #neuroaesthetics #empiricalaesthetics go.bsky.app/HKuJYiw

Intriguing post. I don't agree with everything Munger says, nor want to discuss specific points that seem to be of personal nature. But some of his observations about #metasci are on point, such as the distinction btw wanting to persuade colleagues vs imposing how everyone needs to do science. >

It’s so hard not to screenshot all of Doppleganger by Naomi Klein but this point is so crucial.

I can’t type out this entire page but Klein is making the critical point that liberalism, as an ideology of capitalism, is the thinnest guardrail against fascism because its atomized exaltation of the individual is bound to fail the faithful when they encounter structural exploitations, deprivations and repressions that undergird capitalism. It really is socialism or barbarism

As Karl Weick explained, “how do I know what I think, until I see what I say?” And in writing, this is where we’re finally forced to make hard decisions about structure and to articulate concrete relationships between ideas. We may lose that when AI fills in those thoughts for us.

Insight is not some 'special' process studied only on the fringes of experimental psychology. Having an "Aha!" leaves a mark on the person's mental world and thus has real consequences for behavior. Great paper!
