Evan Thompson, PhD - Context Matters: Steps to an Embodied Cognitive Science of Mindfulness. 

As an anthropologist working with mindfulness I really need to thank Dr. Thompson for this talk.

i like and follow his lecture

I always enjoy your work Dr. Thompson. Still reading Waking, Dreaming, Being and it's a great read that I would recommend to anyone.

What a way to answer questions?! 👏

25:33 i think a better response goes something like: the brain as currently formalized in science is as a solitary, functional unit that is parachuted into its environment. However, 4E cognition claims a more ethological view of the brain's development both in individual and evolutionary history. Moreover, no functional unit greater than neuron can be understood independent of some 4E-elaborated enviornment. Rather than examine the brain as a Martian would examine and make claims about strange conclusions about strange pocket-sized rocks with black mirrors.

Ah. Dennet's one to one correlation in Hofstadter's Strange Loop is thankfully defeated.

come ascoltarlo in italiano?grazie

Looping is loopy!

BEING is after all performative, like Judith Butler and Foucault said about sexuality.

So looping effects are basically loops that have a deductive top-down direction?

What song is that in the beginning? I need it
