(4)...I realize now just how much I owe to that experience...to my science teacher, who made sure I was there, and to @janegoodallcan.bsky.social

I think those who are developing these AI systems haven't given sufficient thought to embodiment. This is interesting given the emphasis on 4E cognition we've seen in philosophy of mind and the other cognitive sciences over the last little while. Seems not many AI folk listen to the philosophers 🤔

Hey there! So I've decided to give this app a try....

A little about me: I'm a philosopher and cognitive scientist currently teaching at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada. I'm hoping to connect with others who love science, philosophy, music, sci-fi/fantasy, and photography.
