i mean, yes, you can go further. in fact, there's good reason to go further! (see "The Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are" - Alan Watts)

what i'm referring to is the obviously-false intersection of the two
e.g. believing in neurochemistry, but nonetheless inadvertently borrowing language and assumptions that don't work with it

it's always fascinating how many obviously-false-under-inspection dualistic assumptions are baked into everyday language and culture

there is no "thinker" -- only thoughts! nobody thinks the thoughts! the thinking is the thoughts.
there is no "watcher" -- only seeing! what is seen is not the "output" of vision, it is vision itself.
these may seem obvious, but are ridiculously prevalent category errors

there's this whole idea that "X is caused by a physical/chemical thing, not a psychological thing", as if the two are separable, as if they aren't literally manifestations of each other

you are your neurochemistry.
you are your thoughts and feelings (all of them, every last one of them, not just the ones you label as "I")
even your state of mind right now isn't merely "determined by" the chemical state of your brain, it *is* the chemical state of your brain

it's really weird how some people think their psychology and their neurochemistry are different things. like, your psychology IS your neurochemistry. that's how it works

they're apparently a very interesting possible NS creation pathway, with possible implications for pulsar populations (ex: millisecond pulsar formation).

models suggest that under the right conditions, carbon flares will occur but not large enough to actually cause mass loss, allowing the WD to burn accreted helium while continuing to grow arxiv.org/pdf/1706.03843…

one hypothesis is that an oxygen-neon white dwarf won't accrete fast enough to reach explosive oxygen ignition temperature because of rapid neutrino cooling arxiv.org/pdf/1710.04417…

they are almost definitely cardiotoxic if overused due to 5-HT2B agonism, but so is MDMA, and studies suggest the lifetime dose of MDMA required to even get the *start* of a problem is probably >100g
