What it is
The account sifu.tweety.fish wrote a short reply that quotes a post by Ed Gibney. Gibney's post asks about plant sentience and about a recent paper called Damasio's latest. The linked paper is titled The physiology of interoception and its adaptive role in consciousness.
What it says
- The post says the author likes the paper a lot. Full agreement is undecided.
- The author calls the paper an important piece of the puzzle. It may not be the whole story.
- A follow-up says the author is meh on connecting the paper to consciousness.
- The follow-up says the paper points to a vast, often ignored substrate of interoceptive circuitry.
What evidence it gives
The posts offer opinion only. They give no argument or data. The paper itself was not read for this page.
Interests and limits
The source is two short posts. The paper they discuss was not read, and the quoted post's claims were not checked. The posts do not say which parts of the paper the author agrees with.
