After your Ai pod I found this one...Fascinating even while doing some carving woodwork in my studio...wonderful stuff!

[@RahulSam]

Many thanks! Great to hear 🙏

[@mindsindialogue]

What an excellent discussion. Anna's map highlighted to me how much is left for me to get familiar with. One thing, if I may suggest, is to add a footnote that leads to anthropology which can reveal some profound intellectual insights.

[@RahulSam]

Thank you! Appreciate the kind comment. And point noted.

[@m.branson4785]

Another great conversation. Coming from a math background, I recently returned to school for machine learning, was able to fit in a upper psych course in behavioral analysis at the same time. I still feel like behaviorism is really relevant and that on the map it should extend all the way to the present. Interestingly, anyone with a bachelor's in philosophy, they can make better money now than ever before just performing RLHF on language models.

[@RahulSam]

Thank you! I never thought about the RLHF bit, but that's a good point, haha!

What a plot twist. Who among the classics imagined that one day philosophers would be teaching talking libraries.

[@UniMatrix_1]

I never thought of it like that

[@KaiWatson]

Thank you Anna for this harrowing contribution. Computer Scientist here. My personal sentiment is that the, "cognitive revolution" created a paradigm in science ie. Thomas Kuhn's seminal text. I can't help but feel that the paradigmatic project toward, "mind machines" has more-or-less failed in lieu of recent developments in LLMs. When I was a teenager there was great excitement concerning, "emergence" and the possibility that a large network like the Internet might one day be a new, "real world example" for cognition level complexity emerging, "phenomena not accounted for in its mechanism." I'm excited for the day when the neopragmatism of Putnam or the Dewey-Rorty-James Pragmatism that we saw come into vogue in the 1980's/90's might carry us to a superior understanding. Is there a man-in-the-machine? No. There is a man in the man. That is good enough.

[@AnnaRiedl]

Cannot believe I didn't mention Kuhn!

[@RahulSam]

Glad Anna saw this comment! Very insightful.

Just don't throw a Markov blanket over me, that's all I ask! ;^=[} Beautiful map - thank you for posting it. Probably spend the next few years looking up the references... Cheers.

"I'm obsessed with the incompleteness theorems" - as if they were designed to do exactly that ;) Like a reactive compound, which tempts curiosity, so it be mixed with all kinds of stuff, to see what happens. Stuff like for example and framed by today's mere coincidence: 1) computational irreducibility 2) the absence of closed systems in nature 3) ontology and belief systems in other species 4) perception, communication, language as processes of transformation; temporal observers living temporal messages.

Sam, I lost the thread so 'the other within' ... here's a couple of refs I found of interest (i) Words in Blood;Like Flowers by Babette Babich (for Eros and Holderin) and The Early Buddhist Scripture by Dipan Barua, both available free for downloading; this is, I find, the new cognitive-edge of existence-nonexistence following Reshe/Kristeva, no?
