Behind the scenes at HQ
I feel like anyone who visits this post is doing so out of curiosity and not a want of reading about UFC 222. You can, if you’d like, as all that is below this, but mostly this is me saying, “Hi.” Thanks for randomly clicking a link. I decided to tak the post waaaaay below that WAS UFC 222 coverage and turn it into something like this. Don’t ask me to explain, it makes no sense.
I bet you’d enjoy some of these stories or whatever you call them:
Date an intersecting feminist person
That time I fought a monkey in Hong Kong.
I DON’T KNOW, SOMETHING GOOD. I HOPE.

MACKENZIE DERN MAKES HER UFC DEBUT…
OMG.👇
Mackenzie Derns asshole is going to smell tremendous after the fight
— Joey CoCo Diaz (@madflavor) March 4, 2018
This finished awesome as fuck. Dern couldn’t do anything for 13 minutes then got a takedown, immediately grabbed the back, then a rear choke, and squeeeeeezed. But: Yoder survived and we went to decision and …
Mackenzie Dern … WON by split decision.
(Crowd booed. LOL.)

Sean O’Malley vs. Andre Soukhamthath
Bantamweight
What Happened?
- O’Malley fought the first round like he was the next generation of Conor McGregor. Jeezuz, it was incredible how he moved, switch stances, fired off every strike from every position. Let’s see how the second round goes.
https://twitter.com/michaelcoughlin/status/970156310942674944?s=21
- I don’t know what happened but in the third round Sean hurt his leg somehow. It was super bad. He couldn’t put ANY weight on it. Literally jumping on one leg. He somehow made it through the round. He immediately started SCREAMING in pain. This dude is a fucking warrior and I take back all bad things I said about him.
- HE. WON.
- A new fucking hero is born. Dude even plugged his after party while flat on his back giving his interview to Rogan. “I fucking love you, Joe Rogan.”

Cris Cyborg (c) vs. Yana Kunitskaya
Women’s Featherweight Championship
What Happened?
https://twitter.com/michaelcoughlin/status/970168045556690944?s=21
- I almost vomited this was so brutal. Seriously, I mean this, I’m not joking: it’s like a man hitting a woman. Yana got dropped HARD in the first 5 seconds. On her way down, she ankle picked a surprised Cyborg. She was on top, doing nothing, for a few dozen seconds. Cyborg stood and then beat the living fuck out of the Russian. The number did some more on the ground. Terrifying.

Then Cyborg called out Amanda Nunes because that’s her gimmick: beating up smaller women. This is all getting a bit farcical. (“Getting”)

Yes, I get all of that. But I do not agree that you can really talk about what” without taking all of the how” into account. Perhaps that”s my primary issue with philosophy, the tendency to ignore a lot of how”. OK. Consciousness somehow “arises”, but not out of thin air. I am not in the slightest sense a Descartian. Consciousness is produced by our brains as we go about living. I don”t believe it”s mysterious. To the contrary, I believe it can be directly explained by examining the mechanisms. Agreed that we cannot yet do that, but that is no excuse for hand waving. We must explore and dig. I believe that we will find that the very process of computing all of the operations which we call perception will produce the sensations of consciousness in the entity. Once we understand (and recreate) those operations, consciousness will result.
