LRB The Mirror Test is a little interesting but tells us far less about conscience and intelligence than we once thought, it does not mean self-awareness per se.
I've been on this bandwagon since I dated a guy who worked on teaching Nico the robot in Scaz lab to pass it.

Here's a gift article of a very interesting look at the problems with the mirror-test which has been held as the gatekeeper for which creatures possess theory of mind. Besides working with Elsie, it makes me think about SF creatures & if they would pass the test.

The Mirror Test Is Broken
Either fish are self-aware or scientists need to rethink how they study animal cognition.

I was born at home, over 48 years ago, and now my sibs have a joke about the dishcloth mom told them I was born onto, and now Kate references it, and truly has anyone known such mortification? 🤦

If we reject toxic positivity, as we should, we also need to reject Trauma Brain's reflexive negativity & skepticism about our abilities & worth.
Do not automatically buy into CPTSD's sh*tty story about you because it happens to feel consistent w/ your old programming.

Hey teenage me, it was okay that you both had untreated health conditions and wanted to excel at school and life stuff. It was also okay that you mourned the death of a friend and still remember it every thanksgiving weekend. It's okay to remember, and you've done so much healing too.

Am I right that there's neither hide nor hair of Cheng Er in ETU2? If so, good, because that framing got old, the interview was too far removed from the moment and he's not the sage listener he was trying to look like, he's just an oddball filmmaker.

It's not your fault you struggle to validate yourself. You're doing what you saw modeled & what the culture models every day: reflexive invalidation. Understanding validation not as a touchy feely luxury, but rather a nonnegotiable trauma recovery tool, takes time & practice.

In realistic trauma recovery it matters we meet our reflexive avoidance w/ compassion & validation, even as we strategize how to do the thing anyway.
Calling ourselves "stupid" or "weak" for instinctively wanting to avoid a thing will only shut us down & deepen our reluctance.

Thank you to Wang Yibo for joining hands with the Han Hong Foundation to donate RMB 1 million to support fire relief efforts in Tai Po, Hong Kong. The funds will be used specifically for the transitional resettlement and supply of living materials to affected residents.

Our abusers did not just hurt us-- they programmed into us a story about who we are & what we deserve that sounds very convincing, because we were vulnerable when it was conditioned into us.
Their story about us is just BS (Belief Systems-- but also the other kind of "BS").

We're coming up on the part of the day where we see whether miss "only made it through twenty minutes of Frozen" actually wants to watch all of K-Pop Demon Hunters with us. It has been six months or more since that, and she watched The Incredibles at school recently so maybe???
