Martians and the Gruesome

by JS

This is an interesting read. I can’t pretend to have parsed the entire argument. I will note that the author subtly assumes a kind of elevated status for psychological explanations.

Unless you accept some kind of divine influence, say a soul, the psychology of a situation is merely a computational relationship we simply don’t understand yet. My intuition is that this view renders the point of the whole article moot.
