Relatedly, a favorite moment from my podcast convo with @PredictiveLife
I guess my question is how good can we make resisting entropy feel?

I hosted @voxdotcom's philosophy podcast, on how predictive minds benefit from varieties of chaos w/ @PredictiveLife. Meditation, psychedelics, art, horror movies — each nears the "edge of informational chaos," & optimizes life's resistance to entropy: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Excited to share our new paper "Feeling our place in the world: an active inference account of self-esteem". In this work, Gabriel B-J, @zah_bah , @PredictiveLife , @RiddhiJP , Pierre Poirier and I propose a novel theory of self-esteem. 🧵 academic.oup.com/nc/article/…

New Paper on Arousal Coherence! 🚨 Synchrony between body and feelings can impact wellbeing. Arousal coherence (via active inference) can influence our capacity to adapt to uncertainty. Meditation trains meta-awareness for intentionally upregulating coherence. Give @ParadoxDancing a follow. The upcoming experimental work on this is particularly intriguing.
