Everybody wants science to cure cancer, but the moment someone does foundational research they lose their fuckin minds.
Guys, the alternative is cutting up mice and pigs.
All I want science to cure is billionaires, we'll take it from there. Concentrations of wealth that enable making brains grow eyes are a bug, not feature. Ever read "Whitey's on the Moon"?
That problem is very much one that's beyond the domain of scientists. That's like saying "All I want literature to do is decipher the genetic basis of cancer". Trust me, if science were able to cure billionaires, it would.
Science gave us the guillotine, I choose to hold out hope. Pinpointing and publishing where all the wealth's being concentrated would be an excellent Science Task
Science didn't give us the guillotine, no matter which scientific method or forbear you're using to determine scientific nature. At best, engineering gave us the guillotine, but I rather doubt there was any actual engineering design going on when they first made the Halifax Gibbet, except insofar as "I need a simpler and more consistent way to lazily kill petty criminals" was "defining a need".
Iam not sspecifically talking about this example and I am not trying to imply this tissue has any sort of consciousness but if "foundational research" means "man made horrors beyond my comprehension" maybe we need to find another way, and if we cannot, maybe we just shouldn't torture conscious beings in the name of science and progress.
Nature is full of horrors beyond your comprehension. If you want to make that less so, manmade horrors are the only way to do it.
This is by no means torture, quite the opposite in fact. Neurons are little prediction machines, and if you don't give them stimuli, they either make their own of degrade. Particularly in small clumps of cells like this, you can't be sure of whether they're conscious, but if they are, they're having an amazing time learning about the light signals.
That touches upon the actual issue here. We dont know if they're conscious. We don't have a solid idea of what consciousness is, where it comes from, what it consists of, or where the line is drawn. That's the sort of knowledge you only get by performing these sorts of experiments.
Science isn't about WHY. It's about WHY NOT. Why is so much of our science dangerous? Why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you on the butt on the way out, because you are fired.
Unless you go for Cartesian dualist theories about immaterial souls, consciousness of the sort we experience is an artefact of the structure of our brains and nervous systems, which are large in scale and complex. A small blob of human-derived brain tissue is not going to have consciousness, let alone self-awareness and a sense of horror at its predicament, any more than a 555 timer is capable of playing DOOM by virtue of being made of silicon.
That's just resistor-diode logic with a 555 instead of a transistor. That means the timer only does buffering/inverting but not the actual computation.
If you follow an integrated information theory derivation, consciousness is emergent from integrating and partitioning information, and with no immaterial soul the possible capability of awareness remains, even if not directly comparable to our own.
Give that brain some morphine as a treat to be on the safe side, most brains find that one relaxing.
I don't think we can say that about consciousness for sure, but I agree with your broader point that it doesn't have self-awareness or a sense of horror at its predicament.
This could actually host a very interesting rudimentary form of consciousness that is theorized by some theories of consciousness, especially idealist models like panpsychism or analytic idealism (though I do admit that analytic idealism would phrase it in terms of having a mental state instead of being conscious).
There's also the question of why would it experience horror? It's not exactly in pain, and they way they make the eyes grow is just to add the hormone signal that makes eyes grow when developing.
So from its perspective, it just got told to make eyes, so it has rudimentary eyes now. Hardly the most horrifying existence.
At what point do brain cells develop the complexity for consciousness? Is there a specific number of brain cells which produces self-awareness?
I have a difficult time believing that consciousness is some artifact that arises from material “complexity and structure”, and tend towards the nondual view of reality.
But that is just my opinion, and what makes consciousness such a fascinating subject imo.
I don't think it's the number of cells inasmuch it's the connectedness. A baby has as many, if not more than you, and yet they're dumb. They're learning.
I think it's safer to go by when childhood amnesia disappears, and that's when the pruning process of removing unnecessary connections and adding other ones, has sufficently advanced. To the point that it slows down, and memories can stay for much longer.
That's generally around 3 to 6 years of age, or 36-72 months after birth. On average, 56 months (4.7 years).
I'm really curious, has anyone here not seen this image before? Not playing internet gatekeeper, I'm curious about Lemmy demographics. This image was everywhere like 5-7 years ago.
It's not about raw numbers, more like subgroups, if that makes sense?
Lemmy is a niche place, yes? Skews techie, nerdie, someone very internet heavy. At least that often seems to be an assumption I see about the place. But I don't think it's true, so I would just like to test that assumption, this is just an observation in that test.
I think Lemmy's audience is actually fairly diverse, I also think it skews very young comparatively, for the latter in particular I think this is a good test.
It's also of course possible that the techie, nerdy internet heavy crowd subgroup is big enough that even isolated to that sample, the chance of encountering someone who has seen the image before is actually that small, but nonetheless it's a worthwhile observation.
I think Lemmy’s audience is actually fairly diverse
That's interesting to see your perception of it being fairly diverse. My perception is quite the opposite. It feels like there's only a very specific demographic in here, and sometimes I even feel like leaving,due to being out from that group
How would you define the demographic and yourself?
I guess I am far away from that demographic too, but still like it. Having spent ages on Reddit and left when the api crap happened.
It feels like people are mostly from usa, a few from europe and a minority from other places. Most users give the impression of being economically above the average. Being tech-savvy doesn't even need to be mentioned >.< but people tend to be a bit elitist about it. In fact, elitist it a word that describes much of what I observe around. It's tricky to talk about it, because no one likes to be pointed on such things, but it's something clearly observable from anyone from outside, like me
I've not seen it before. But then.... I don't keep up with either science or memes. So it has to break containment or just be a lucky moment when I'm chuckle-scrolling at the right time and place.
This could be exactly the scientific breakthrough we needed. Imagine a future where we all have one of these and it watches ads on your behalf. It can't close its eyes. It can't look away. it's the perfect audience!
This could mean the end of the great advertising war! The corporations want to stick their endless adverts in front of our eyeballs, we want to live without that crap. This gives us the possibility of a truce. They let us have internet and TV and operating systems and fridges with no adverts. In return, each of us sponsors one eyeball-equipped consciousness eternally trapped in the Torment Nexus. It's a reasonable compromise!
Every time certain segments of society speak it causes small potions of the audience's brains to drip out of their ears. These bits are scraped up off the floor and, after mixing well with some tapioca, come to plausibly resemble the mental functions of the person last heard speaking.
In the past few years, it has become possible to encourage stem cells – versatile cells similar to those found in embryos – to grow into spherical masses of brain tissue up to three millimetres wide, known as brain organoids.
Per Live Science, the team modified a technique used to turn stem cells into neural tissue to create the brain organoids with the optic cups. After the cells developed into mini-brains, the optic cups formed 30 days later and fully matured at 50 days. The timing was on target with eye development in a human embryo, meaning the process could be used to study how eyes develop in utero.
The comments here show something that the majority of people have no clue how science and research works. We would have been decades closer to even greater research with stem cells if it wasn’t for religious non-sense.
This is sick! The potential for basic research seems amazing to me. I think a system like this could be great for understanding some of the fundamentals of signalling in the brain.
Reminds me of one of the paths of human evolution after the Qu invasion in All Tomorrows where they turn the humans who resisted the most into self-cleaning liners for their sewage systems.
