apokrisis

The later Wittgenstein who had Ramsey softly whispering the Peircean corrections to his earlier logical atomistic realism in his ear?

These are neurological disorders that strike at brain organisation at a far more basic level than any “cognitive module” like the rather shaky TOM sto...

Oh I would agree with that. And it explains why a binary code is the ultimate notion of a code. It is the simplest and fastest means to constrain unce...

I’m sure an insult is buried in there somewhere. But you asked surely I could see there was no discernible grammar in your answer. And yet I seemed ab...

Q: What entered the room? A: A poodle. A: The poodle. A: Some poodle. A: Poodle. A: Poodle a. A: Can you repeat the question in a way that takes up mo...

What about the grammatical structure? Subject-verb-object was lurking as the generating constraint on your collection of informational units. Meanings...

Your every comment manages to be more hurtful than the last. I am at rock bottom now.

But the mechanics - the formal model - doesn’t grant observation a fundamental role. It isn’t even in the model. There is no mechanism that determines...

In the sense that is is meaningful and not merely noise?

I checked. They are out of stock. Or did you buy the last one? Please don’t disappoint me after raising my hope so, :cry:

So the genes don’t measure the state of the body, the state of its metabolism, and turn the dials accordingly? There is no separation between the regu...

Wheeler is one of the greats. But this also reflects the era of Copenhagen quantum mechanics before quantum maths had decoherence, or the missing bit ...

I’m not talking about reviving anything but starting the construction of a politics appropriate to the situation as it is likely to be - to the degree...

Do you mean?.... I could see why you then might reject my description of liberal democracy as a collective of institutions. But have you read Arthur B...

Here's yet another way of looking at it. You accurately tagged my thesis as techo-dialectics. And so I say, look around and see what seems to be evolv...

That’s not a deep understanding of what it is. It is instead the enactive production of the dialectical drama which is a self in its world. It is how ...

Those are motherhood claims rather than concrete examples. Is there a particular case where phenomenology or continental philosophy delivers an insigh...

What do you prefer to liberal democracy then? What do you think works better - and so what you would like to see restored as much as possible in a cli...

Why do you exclude modelling along with copying and representing? The biosemiotic approach of biologists like Pattee, Salthe, Rosen and many more stre...

Yes, the old dialectic of logos and flux is another version of the same essential position. The Cosmos is about how logical order becomes the shaping ...

C.S. Peirce had the ambition of refounding logic on a graphical basis - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existential_graph And Spencer Brown had a simila...

True. But I am happy just making physicalism work as a model of reality. I don’t see it as a failed project but instead as an already stunning metaphy...

Hah. Part of it is that I spend so much time having to make very complicated things very simple for mass audiences. So it is something of a relief jus...

I must take the blame for your lack of grounding in the position you want to argue? That’s saucy. But I’m not complaining.

The grand project would be pansemiosis. The Cosmos would in fact have to have its own organismic point of view. A place without a point of view would ...

Well it was fun trying to explain it anyway.

I don’t think that’s it. The Peircean approach is not to rid our view of reality of any subjectivism, it is instead to match such a science of the thi...

I agree with all you said. The subtlety of Aristotelean hylomorphism has become sucked into the general vortex of materialist confusion. So there is t...

It is absolutely Hegelian. And also Peircean - as Peirce also saw the Cosmos in terms of a universal growth of reasonableness. The challenge here is t...

I'm thinking of top rated societies like Scandinavia, Singapore, New Zealand, Taiwan. Or south east Asia in general. Or how the UK and US used to be. ...

This would be the Aristotelean view of substance as in-formed material possibility - the doctrine of hylomorphism. And I agree that this is the correc...

You don't need solutions until the problems bite. No one needs a seat belt to drive around a car. A seat belt is an entirely fringe concept that only ...

My position on this is based on my view of biological systems in general. So no. The two are clearly coupled. It is rooted in physical law - the secon...

The transition town movement makes sense. We don’t have to repeat the medieval era because we head into the next stage with a technocratic governance ...

I’m counting the number of adaptations. But of course that amounts to the same thing as the number of opportunities for reorganisation. And if I singl...

Information/entropy are a new system of measurement. So they are universal units rather than some universalised substance as @"Pop" suggests. What mak...

One of my favourite books - even given the usual academic backlash. Isn’t that relocalisation of economies and transition engineering. I don’t even co...

Alternatively I have actively pursued the full range of the schools of thought out there. Far more than most. And so that is why I feel secure in my v...

The problem is how to best characterise this duality that is based on an actively manufactured epistemic cut. Is it really either subjective or a dime...

This got me wondering where cryogenics had got to - have they tested the concept on rats yet. This report says they have managed to perfectly preserve...

Yep. As critics of IIT like Searle note, Panpsychism is the kind of theory that is in the class of not even being wrong. It evades counterfactuality b...

There is cross cultural research on such things. And it shows that angst is fairly specific to modern society. You could start with the Catholic Churc...

Well I could see in the 1990s that 2050 was the bottleneck decade for humanity. So I've had plenty of time to adjust the two sides to my reaction. Per...

At a certain level, integrated information is just a truism. It is obvious - once you accept the brain employs some kind of neural code to construct "...

You make an excellent point. And I will add some further complexity that comes from a theoretical biology point of view. I think two things can be con...

I gave you the obvious criticisms of ITT that were made even when Tononi first started going down that route. I remember the rubbishing and even some ...

Straw man followed by plain silliness. Yet you seem to want to be taken seriously.

Straw man argument.

:lol:

Yep. That particular equivalence applies at the Planck scale. So it has nothing to do with the equivalence scale that actually matters for life and mi...
