Philosophy of the Heart with Nobel Peace Prize Nominee Scilla Elworthy With clear eyes and an open heart: dealing with inner & outer bullies

Nobel Peace Prize nominee Scilla Elworthy champions “the vital importance of the heart for all we’re trying to address and change in today’s world.” May seem too intimate or uncomfortable to talk about the heart so openly; can we sit with that difficulty & find power open differently? #love #peace

The Core of Knowing is Loving with philosopher Hanne De Jaegher Listen now | Episode #68

🎙the Core of Loving & Knowing with @participha.bsky.social
Philosopher Hanne De Jaegher discusses life experiences and how they led to her academic journey in cognitive science and the scholarship behind ‘participatory sense-making’ #psm #phil #embodied #sensemaking #varela #loveandphilosophy

De Jaegher's work on participatory sense-making brought something crucial to cognitive science: the idea that meaning isn't first computed internally then communicated. It's generated between bodies in real time. Two people in conversation are literally co-thinking.

So grateful for Jürgen #Habermas' legacy. I taught "Future of Human Nature" many times. So prescient re: reproductive technology & AI. A serious secular attempt to define the sacredness of human life & a powerful example of philosophical insight.
May we honor his life & heed his warnings. #philsky

On Loving the World: Revisiting the Scientific Image with Arendt and Haraway

My upcoming talk at The Center for Philosophy of Science & the Department of Anthropology at Boston University, this coming Thursday, March 5th, 4-5.30 pm.
(First Chapter of my new book project @rad-institute.bsky.social)

"Within every binary, are worlds in their becoming." #BayoAkomolafe and Andrea Hiott are having a conversation about radical incompleteness, love and holding paradoxes. Very moving!

Radical Embodied Relation at any Scale, from Remembering to Navigating - Topoi Recent developments in the study of the hippocampal formation call old ideas of representation into question and are forcing a change in the way we understand the study of memory and navigation, openi...

Andrea Hiott discusses the role of mental representations in cognitive neuroscience studies of memory and navigation, proposing that representations are really a part of the way we talk about brains, not something findable in brains themselves

We face two urgent challenges concerning consciousness and AI. Challenge One is that millions of users will soon misattribute human-like consciousness to AI friends, partners, and assistants on the basis of mimicry and role-play, and we don’t know how to prevent this. Challenge Two is that profoundly alien forms of consciousness might genuinely be achieved in AI, but our theoretical understanding of consciousness is too immature to provide confident answers one way or the other. Centrism about AI consciousness is the position that we must take both challenges seriously. The two challenges interact in ways that make this difficult. Steps to address Challenge One might undermine attempts to address Challenge Two by portraying the idea of conscious AI as impossible or inherently unlikely. Conversely, attempts to address Challenge Two might lead to higher levels of misattribution from ordinary users. This “manifesto” attempts to construct mutually consistent strategies for addressing both challenges.

Since people are doing "is AI conscious?" discourse on here again I feel like this philpapers.org/rec/BIRACA-4 by @birchlse.bsky.social remains my favourite piece on the current state of affairs.
