No, it's folk science. It isn't vague, it's an illusion. Cognition is false on all counts because it's folk science impregnating science and CS (and philosophy). Read his argument carefully, don't just select a down

It's wax fruit because we know the term cognition is bunk as intelligence: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7415918/

Cognition is wordless, dude. The entire premise of it is built upon layers of sharp wave ripples that integrate memory from sense, emotion and landmark/non-landmark. This is wax fruit. It's like sportscasting what cognition appear

Brains are none of those things. Thoughts aren't about things, there's no content to thoughts, and what it expresses, it behaves nothing the way computers do. https://aeon.co/essays/your-brain-does-not-process

If you're bringing up emergence when I've already raised ideas of ecological relations, then it's you who must be very confused about the conversation we're having.

It's not a mind body problem, unfortunately, it's problem of hard indeterminism. We lack free will but the universe is not necessarily deterministic. Chaos has some level of intervention, like quantum darwinism, or gravity probabi

A word is a material? You can show me the brain state that corresponds repeatedly and with continuous accuracy a single word? I don't think so. You can train a computer to correspond to an individual's idiosyncratic brain state fo

Wrong. Materialistic only got us to a level. Now we're looking past materialism in neural reuse, coordination dynamics and ecological psychology and neurobiology. The causes are out there in contradictory correlations.

The brain isn't hardware, it's biology and oscillation and integrations in optic flow. It can't be dichotomized into hardware or software.

The bottleneck is epistemology via semantics. It's inherent to words which many things to different people. LLMs have no chance against semantic diffusion and chaos. They're subject to them unless some status-bearer decides the se

Wealth is arbitrary post settlement. Show me a currency from 700AD still traded on a regulated market. In that sense, wealth is a decadent category the West will be destroyed by, look at the current state of oligarchy, particularly tech. Th

As a post-symbolic, post-causal thinker (not a "socialist" which is also political nonsense), economics is purely the translation to settlement coercion for the production of Myth of the State/center-worshipping ("riches

There is no such thing as economic science. If you can find an empirical, demonstration of mental events, biology, correlating value through arbitrary means, I'm all ears. Until I see proof, this is witch doctor level thinking hoisted

Of course, both scientific approaches of history and myth are the work of fabulists. eg Jung, Campbell. The point is to examine the myth and then history as the source of causal illusions. “The myth is the prototypal, fundamental, integrati

That's simply the function of narrative using words. How can anything built subjectively in symbols and cause and effect reach consensus, correlational objectivity? They can't. Language is for confirmation bias first and foremost.

You don't even grasp what that paper is. It's not an op-ed, it's a theory/review article with empirical evidence that's increased many percentages since it was refused publication, now it's a primary approach i

Math may be able to model those things momentarily, but ultimately "all models are wrong yet some are helpful" so YES math has no relationship to behavior, it cannot reference it. It can only symbolically (arbitrarily) model it.

We're talking about "you obviously can reason about politics in the same way one can reason about anything else that doesn't behave rationally, like fish" Stick to politics, that's the thread, engineer.

Math has no relationship to behavior, nor do almost all terms used to describe behavior, engineers should have already grasped cog-sci is folk science. If engineers remain uneducated in this way, you'll become sycophants led as lemming

What's coming: Spatial intel (not Apple spatial computing) is a top-down/bottom-up direct perception that everyone participates in. It bypasses binary, renders it obsolete. Makes AI look puny and overbuilt, needs only analog and o

It's simply the end of the the symbolic era's low meaning load. The sentence is dead. The metaphor. Whatever low-grade semantics we suffered under is coming to a close and a new form/format of meaning-units are needed.

Not a proponent of virtual. The virtual is a mistaken path to reach the brain's topology, it's inherently 2-D. So the path is probably a hybrid between post-symbol and topological integration, ie 2-D screens.

He didn't grasp that speech and text were the same in terms of arbitrariness, and he couldn't see that narratives are basically illusions in terms of their meaning-load. We know from neurosci any event has two dimensions of meanin

We're symbol sleepwalkers, their arbitrariness is a meaning sink. Literacy is essentially mind-control by severely limiting the semantic resources words and narratives provide. Literacy makes us into minions. Post-literacy should have
