Salford mayor Paul Dennett has called on the city to unite. Dennett issued a statement after roadside banners opposing 'migrant HMOs' were put up, an 'HMO' was trashed in Kersal and a murder investigation was launched at a property in Broughton.

I was writing tonight and had to check what year it is. Surprisingly, it felt like a routine thing to do. Sometimes hyperfocus is like a superpower that momentarily gets rid of all your regular powers.

are gradually being persuaded that Dennett is right when it comes to feet, migrating into shoes. but that is no doubt an illusion of perspective.

from one vantage point it seems as if there is a gradual migration of theorists toward the Equator: taking what Quine calls the "dramatic idiom" of intentional attribution seriously, but not too seriously, treating it always as a "heuristic overlay" (Dennett 1969) or a "stance" (Dennett 1971).

J'ai l'impression qu'il y a un léger contresens sur ce concept dans la tribune. Le point de Dennett n'est pas qu'on peut "faire comme si" certains objets avaient des croyances, mais qu'attribuer des croyances est une façon de parler utile, *y compris quand on parle d'êtres humains*

‘Stolen by the Stars’ Documentary Elevates Experiencer Testimony in Era of Managed Disclosure
Filmmaker Tyler Transue joins hosts Preston Dennett and Dolly Safran to discuss his new UFO documentary ‘Stolen by the Stars,’ outlining how the project was conceived, cast, filmed and released amid ongoing disclosure debates. The conversation examines his broader catalog of paranormal documentaries, his methodology for selecting credible experiencers, and why films like ‘Stolen by the Stars’ are becoming a primary avenue for serious UAP contact testimony.

Quant à Dennett et l’intentional stance :
![This is part of what Professor Dennett characterizes as "the intentional stance"-a research methodology that supposedly helps neuroscientists to explain the neural foundations of human powers. He claims that adoption of the intentional stance has accomplished "excellent scientific work... generating hypotheses to test, articulating theories, analysing distressingly complex phenomena into their more comprehensible parts" (p. 87). It seems committed to the idea that some parts of the brain "sort of believe," that others sort of decide, and yet others sort of oversee these activities. All this, presumably, is supposed to sort of explain what neuroscientists want to explain. But if the explananda are uniformly sorts of believings, pseudo-expectings, proto-wantings, and demi-decidings (as Dennett suggests [p. 88]), they at best only sort of make sense and presumably are only sort of true. And how one can make valid inferences from such premises is more than just sort of obscure.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tpjgunpnstl2v5nbwdogubui/bafkreifpemfy452ki345rpwj2rbeofw57vely2w5dbwhhgencohmqax57u)
