running into two folks like yall irl would be like stumbling into a unicorn talking with a gnome without the aid of psychedelics, glad i am able to observe these rare encounters
At the end, mentorship and alleviating the financial stress are two solutions that come together in the pay forward community where graduates are welcome guests (philosophers in residence) give talks in a local space to mentor, travel or go online to be mentored and have a decent, affordable home. By engaging in the pay forward the philosopher is embedded in a virtuous system. Also a new political level possibly, between the family and the municipal. Important because climate change events will focus governments and cost lots, which leaves an untrustworthy big business sector more in charge. A really agile conversation, thank you. More!
On communication of thought: There is a realy great insight from training martial arts: Teachers will often train their students "at their own level" (the teachers level), forgetting that they themselves had to go through a whole history of training, in order to be able to do and understand what they are trying to teach their students.... Similarly I think many thinkers try, in discussions with other thinkers, to present only the fruits of their latest thoughts instead of conveying the feeling of the whole argument. Which makes it impossible to understand (actually understand, empathically) what they are trying to convey. 😕 I think true understanding must be felt. It can't be merely logically deduced. Which is why I truly appreciate and admire these (recurring) discussions with different people!👍🏼 Thank you for sharing!💕
How odd that where I became familiar with technology as an extension of the mind is from archaeology, not even a pure cognitive field. This was a theme back in the early 2000s for a small niche of European archeologists like Lambros Malifouris, Carl Knappett, John Sutton, and others, based on the philosophy of Andy Clark
This conversation, although extremely interesting, draws me toward the Ouroboros. I wonder what Ludwig Wittgenstein would say about this conversation . Moreover Nietzsche drive theory might be a beginning. However enjoyed the conversation
On pluralism: The more inclusive perspective will end up being the more powerful ("dominant" in evolution) one. (No?) So plurality might be the driver of progress, since it challenges the status quo to become even more inclusive...? Presuming anyone is interested in integration and not just analysis... (as it seams you two suggest is what's happening in universities!??) So let's do this integrative philosophy!?!😊👍🏼 Who's on board?😄
