“radical’ innovation continuously increases the colossal accumulation of capital derived from placing ‘disrupted’ sectors outside the law”

“Because of the development of its body and brain, through the exteriorization of tools and of the memory, the human species seemed to have escaped the fate of the polyparium or the ant. #hive-mind #AI #philsky #psysky #consci

Fascinating PNAS study on bodily self-perception: how the awareness connects with embodied action, and how embodiment is foundational to selfhood. A biologically grounded account that can enrich my phenomenological & enactive approach. #consci #embodiment #enactivism

New (short) blog post on why I think the distinction between a metaphysical and semantic component of scientific realism is kind of confused (and how to classify the varieties of non-realist positions).

Here are some short reflections that are only indirectly related to the main theme of this blog: about the traditional way of framing the t...

Remarkable series that builds out a perspective on US foreign policy exceptionalism, overreach, outright failings and criminal abuses tracking through to unauthorized mass surveillance and the thuggish sanctions.

🧵 I see my book Becoming Earth as one part of a larger emerging movement: a resurgence of holistic, planetary-scale thinking; an evolving Gaia as a modern coevolutionary framework for understanding Earth; and a renewed recognition of the animacy, agency, and rights of more-than-human living systems

It is perhaps foolhardy to attempt to say something new about a topic as widely studied as empathy. I tried anyway! 1/

The exteriorization of knowledge in writing turns it into information, which we may either (1) turn back into knowledge by re-interiorizing it or (2) rely on as a crutch, which is to say automatically, effectively destroying knowledge. #Stiegler #danielross #philsky

In the spirit of Christmas I offer a lament from Bernard #Stiegler:

I argued that in our ‘epoch’, which should be understood as the fulfilment of the new barbarism anticipated by Adorno and Horkheimer, what is occurring amounts to a murderous dis-articulation of the I and the we

One of the more irritating affectations...in the humanities and social sciences is the habit of inserting the word ‘embodied’ in front of the topic in question, as though by doing so the spectre of binary thinking could be magically exorcised #embodiedcognition #timingold #psysky #philsky

“During the weeks, months and years after the towers fell, as fear and anger spread through the body politic, disturbing habits of mind became embedded in policy debate. The most corrosive was the recoil from debate itself, which came to be seen as a betrayal of national unity” #auspol #bondi
