A new paradigm for psychology research (with Slime Mold Time Mold)
In this engaging discussion, the Slime Mold Time Mold collective sheds light on their innovative cybernetic approach to psychology. They challenge conventional traits, insisting on identifying entities and rules for understanding behavior. Dive into how hunger and fear operate as internal governors, plus their fascinating research linking obesity and environmental factors like lithium. Expect to learn how emotions fit into this paradigm, why the Big Five might mislead, and the future directions for a richer, more mechanistic psychology.
