    Mini: PIC-NIC
    Nov 4 2024
    A useful, informal template for beginning to understand human behavior is consider a couple of features of the consequences for behavior: the longterm and short term consequences, positive and negative consequences, and the relatively likelihood of those consequences. This is not a comprehensive analysis, but a great starting place. We'll teach you all about it in this discussion.

    What are ghosts? Why are ghosts? How are ghosts? Pretend, for fun, and they aren't, in that order. Ghosts exist in the space of low resolution and little information. We ask the hard questions about the plausibility of ghosts as well as explore Haunted Person Syndrome (HPS). Are you haunted by a ghost?
