Nice to meet you Professor Nicholas Humphrey (with your 8 books on consciousness) in the [CamPhilEvents] Kinds of Intelligence reading group
Dear Nicholas,
Thank you!
Again:
1
These 1st and 3rd person experiences seem un-dovetail-able, irreconcilable, unmeetable and un-joinable - again scientifically, brain and cognitive science-wise. And how far down the phylogenetic tree does consciousness go - sea slugs? bats? What is it like to be that blue whale in a pod in the south seas as scientific and philosophical humans, in English, think about and study this idea of consciousness (post Darwin, and with science-STEM) to co-constitute with language an understanding about a biological process which many species seem to have in common.

Am appreciating at least 2 channels of communication with video conferencing - audio and text chat: what about a #FilmTo3D App at Street View with time slider, cellular and molecular levels focusing on language to brain modeling as further iterating on “higher -order theories” and “predictive processing theories and integrated information theory”?

Am curious how empirical iterative approaches to consciousness will eventually be added to our Physical-Digital Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records (see below for the Twitter #Hashtag) and not only at the Google Street View with time slider level, but also at the cellular, molecular and atomic levels (potentially in TensorStore) in iterating further theories regarding the brain, body mind and cognitive sciences - eg https://ocw.mit.edu/

Dear Scott
It’s good to hear from you. I saw your post on the zoom chat, and responded with a piece of my own which takes a rather different line about the distribution of sentience.
https://aeon.co/essays/how-
Between ourselves, I thought the discussion at today’s event was surprisingly shallow. Is the best Cambridge can do? I wasn’t sorry when the change of zoom login gave me an excuse to leave!

Scott, I can’t resist sending you this review of my new book, Sentience, on Amazon UK
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 
on 25 November 2022
Originator of the social intelligence theory of consciousness, philosopher and psychologist, Nicholas Humphrey's books have enthralled and inspired me ever since I saw his 'The Inner Eye' television series in the mid-1980s. Now, eleven years after his last book, comes a new work.
First of all, 'Sentience' is fascinating, beautifully written, thought-provoking and important. But more than that, to my mind it is true. Everything Humphrey writes here, which in some ways sum up his huge contribution to the field of the understanding of consciousness, has that feel of being fundamentally correct. The tale he is telling matches reality.
The book falls into three thirds, the first giving the background to Humphrey’s journey through life and the questions he asked himself as he pondered various unknowns: consciousness… why, and when? This summary is vital for the following two parts, one of which deals with our phenomenal experiences (the redness of a poppy, the sweetness of sugar, etc), and one of which sums it all up in a new perspective, drawing at all times from evolutionary reasoning.
It’s this latter third which I think is groundbreaking. The issue for the vast majority of philosophers dealing with qualia in the brain (that is, how the redness of red can be generated and experienced by “mere” neuron activity) is how to make the leap from neurons to private mental experience. There’s a couple of sentences in this book which I suspect may be the most important Humphrey has ever written. They read: "Remember how it emerged in the earlier discussion that when, for example, you project phenomenal redness onto a poppy, you are in effect making a bridge to other sentient beings. You’re seeing the poppy as being ‘rubropotent’ – as having the power to evoke red qualia in another like yourself."
Isn’t that extraordinary? Other philosophers look at one brain in isolation and try to pin down the mind/body relationship therein, but that’s their mistake. Conscious brains, human brains, never exist in isolation. They grow, develop and mature only in social groups. Personally, I think this cultural blind spot has a lot to do with men dominating such intellectual discussions, men who in comparison with women have little grasp of the true importance of relationships.
This, then, is the brilliance of Nicholas Humphrey. He grasps the fundamental role of social relations in the evolution of consciousness. He never loses sight of that evolutionary history, and indeed uses it to underpin the truth of his theory.
As he notes early on in the book, his intellectual and philosophical journey has been rather a lonely furrow. I hope this exceptional work changes all that. It certainly deserves to. It’s more than worthy of being added to his outstanding canon of work. Trailblazing, compelling and true.

[CamPhilEvents] Reminder for the Kinds of Intelligence reading group meeting
Hello everyone,
This is a reminder for tomorrow’s, i.e., 29th of November, Kinds of Int
The reading is as follows:
Anil K. Seth and Tim Bayne
Nature Reviews, Neuroscience, Volume 23, 2022, Pages 439-452
Abstract:
Recent years have seen a blossoming of theories about the biological and physical basis of consciousness. Good theories guide empirical research, allowing us to interpret data, develop new experimental techniques and expand our capacity to manipulate the phenomenon of interest. Indeed, it is only when couched in terms of a theory that empirical discoveries can ultimately deliver a satisfying understanding of a phenomenon. However, in the case of consciousness, it is unclear how current theories relate to each other, or whether they can be empirically distinguished. To clarify this complicated landscape, we review four prominent theoretical approaches to consciousness: higher- order theories, global workspace theories, re- entry and predictive processing theories and integrated information theory. We describe the key characteristics of each approach by identifying which aspects of consciousness they propose to explain, what their neurobiological commitments are and what empirical data are adduced in their support. We consider how some prominent empirical debates might distinguish among these theories, and we outline three ways in which theories need to be developed to deliver a mature regimen of theory- testing in the neuroscience of consciousness. There are good reasons to think that the iterative development, testing and comparison of theories of consciousness will lead to a deeper understanding of this most profound of mysteries.
If you cannot make it in-person and wish to attend online on zoom, please send me an email and I’ll send you the details for the same.
