19-5-2023 Proud and excited to see the nascent comCensus.org startup featured in this excellent Nature article!
15-5-2023 Belated new year resolution: resume curating and updating this site! I will start by sharing a few news about me:
1. I have landed a great job as Ass Prof at Heriot-Watt University, where I will teach research method and finally be able to establish a lab.
  Postdocs positions will soon be advertised!
2. I have also started testing comCensus.org, the evolution of the covidConsensus project.
  The plan is to learn a bit more how to engage participants, smoothen the edges, and then start building a team!
3. On the K theory (now preferably called "Information Compression Theory", ICT) front, I will soon pre-register a crucial test, where we'll try to predict results of the Brazilian Reproducibility Initiative. That'll be exciting!
4. Still on the ICT front (see what I did?), I am preparing a talk for The Science of Consciousness Conference, next week.
  I shall propose an original theory to explain consciosness based on ICT, currently named "Metaknowledge theory" (MKT, I guess?).
  The metankowledge explanation solves, it seems to me, many apparent mysteries about consciousness, including the (non) existence of qualia and the so-called Hard Problem. Can't wait to hear what the TSC folks think!
