@Seeker3CO Is it you?

@Seeker3CO Would you like to meet sometime?

@Seeker3CO Read what you wrote and put it into a testable hypothesis. Can't be done.

@Seeker3CO I can't. Nor can anyone else absent rigorous term definition that stands up to analysis.Psychology uses scientific methods but is not a science.

@Seeker3CO I will defer to another time. No disrespect intended, and I applaud your effort to add value, Perhaps I don't get it.

I had the same question. Although there is a lot of existential philosophy and psychology which describes it, the latest research suggests we are not individuals but "dividuals" - made up of competing subsystems, rather than a unified self.

@ejbman Have you been reading or listing to Sam Harris?

@Seeker3CO I'm getting addicted to Robert Wright and Sam Harris.

It's really hard to know how much we're fooling ourselves, fun trying to figure it out but still a tough slog

@Seeker3CO I listened to Evolution of God on audio and am slowly going through the Moral Animal.

There's at least two public discussions between Harris and Wright on youtube also, the first discussion over 10 years ago wasn't great but the one a few years ago was ok.

Hey, you're in CO. I think I'm there in October, I could drop off or just mail you Moral Animal?

recovering from hand surgery btw, typing is a pain...well in the thumb

@educatedredneck Yes, I've followed quite a bit of Sam Harris' work: books and podcasts. However, in this case, I was thinking of Harari's book Homo Deus, and his section describing (among others) Kahneman's work (such as that summarized in Thinking Fast and Thinking Slow).
