@8599d6ab @14e9d346 I only read the section on pseudoscience so far. I wasn't overly impressed, but I also had my priors adjusted with regards to the reliability of the main authors by reading this line-by-line, source-by-source dissection of the original letter from Erik Hoel:
https://www.theintrinsicperspective.com/p/ambitious-theories-of-consciousness

I may have a look at the rest of Hau's paper later, but once things get to a stage where I'm not even sure whose intentions are genuinely for good, as opposed to "being right", it's saddening. 

 @359dd83b @14e9d346 

Absolutely saddening and maddening that it's so problematic! But I'm also really thankful that we have the type of ethos in our little corner that we can discuss all this (with genuine intentions to just figure.it.out.).

Given that you found some value in the Hoel piece, I'll have a look (otherwise I wouldn't).
