If you've got half an hour free during the day, this is a rather interesting conversation with #philosopher, or 'metaethicist', Simon Blackburn. The discussion touches on #ethics, #pragmatism, #truth, #Rorty, #Ryle, #Nietzsche, #perspectivism, and plenty more.
In one section he cites #Russell on #Bradley, which made me think of you @PeterSjostedtH

I wrote an article on the #trolleyproblem for #autonomousvehicles. I provide two solutions to the problem and argue for where our focus should be headed.

@drlynnchiu Looks like I will have to open up another list for #Philosophers. Most philosophers I have found on here focus on #AIEthics or the philosophy of #DataPrivacy. I have the book of #MarkCoeckelbergh (#UniWien) on #AIEthics to read. If you want to follow up on how this connects to previous theoretical stuff and present stuff get in touch through ORCID.

@philosopher Kudos!
I was diagnosed w/ #ESKD early 2023 after 3 yrs of suffering w/ 75+ symptoms after #Covid in 2020. Was told dialysis is inevitable. Also diagnosed w/ #longCOVID + #immunocompromised that quarter..
Started #liondiet Feb 2024. Went on #carnivorediet in Fall. All except 2 of my biomarkers returned to normal. Kidney biomarkers improved later that year too. My Nephrologist told me in Fall and this year that my #kidneys have stabilized. ❤️ #ilovecarnivore

philosophers are like a buffet - more questionable dishes 🧵 2/?

Zeno of Citium invented Stoicism, the philosophy of accepting whatever daddy capitalism does to you with a smile. basically philosophical BDSM without the fun parts or aftercare. the ultimate submissive's guide to letting the world raw dog you while pretending you wanted it that way. also made the unforgivable sin of spawning generations of tech bros quoting Marcus Aurelius while building surveillance capitalism and calling their emotional constipation "virtue." bonus points for inspiring LinkedIn philosophers who think "the obstacle is the way" means exploiting their workers harder
Schopenhauer grasped the fundamental nature of suffering while being its perfect embodiment. wrote an entire philosophy around being an incel, yet his insights on will and representation resonate perfectly in those dark 3am moments of clarity
Kierkegaard understood existential dread so well because he lived it. spent his life wrestling with faith, anxiety, and regret over a broken engagement. brilliant on paper, but perhaps needed less contemplation and more touching grass
de Beauvoir revolutionized feminist philosophy while trapped in philosophy's most toxic relationship. wrote about women's liberation and authenticity while letting a narcissistic existentialist control her narrative. the irony burns
Kropotkin watched ants share food and decided humans could do better. noble idea, but maybe spent too much time with cooperative insects and not enough time watching people fight over parking spots. still, his analysis of mutual aid shaped revolutionary thought
Hegel constructed an entire philosophical system to explain everything, then explained it in the most convoluted way possible. thesis: brilliant insights, antithesis: impenetrable prose, synthesis: philosophical migraine
Jung mapped the collective unconscious then got so lost in it he built a tower and invented languages. went from analyzing archetypes to living them, which is either madness or transcendence. possibly both
Wittgenstein solved all of philosophy's problems twice, declared philosophy meaningless both times, yet couldn't stop philosophizing. threw away wealth to teach children, then got frustrated when they didn't understand logical positivism
Baudrillard predicted our descent into hyperreality while becoming increasingly unreal himself. wrote about the death of reality while reality died around him. simultaneously predicted social media brain rot but didn't go far enough
Epicurus preached pleasure as the highest good but defined it as "not being disturbed." founded a philosophy of hedonism that mainly involved eating simple meals and having lengthy discussions about atoms. task failed successfully
Zinn rewrote history from below while academia clutched its pearls. showed us the people's story but thought education alone could overcome power. he gave us the tools to understand why we need to burn it all down. READ PEOPLE'S HISTORY

‘the emergence of an ecosystem is a blind groping from stable state to stable state in which each [...] assemblage creates the conditions that stabilize the next one'

The #Philosopher Jürgen #Habermas is dead. His work on the #publicsphere is essential to understand why not only #TV and #Radio, but also #socialnetworks and #AI #Chatbots need to be regulated so as to ensure that they serve -and not undermine- #democracy and #fundamentalrights.
Now it's time to read:
The Philosopher: Habermas and Us by Philipp Felsch, 208 p.,
Things Needed to Get Better: Conversations with Stefan Müller-Doohm and Roman Yos by Jürgen Habermas, 196 p.

World Carnivore month!
I've followed the carnivore diet for the last year. I know this will sound extreme, but it's all animal products. No plants. Mostly meat. For the most part I've eaten two pounds of meat and 4 eggs per day.
There's a reason why people make this their whole personality or rave about it. It's genuinely radicalizing. I've never felt better.
I made a list on my website on the many ways it's changed my life for the better.

Philosophers often criticize #quantitive approaches to problems. So is #philosophy against #measurement?
Many philosophers actually care MORE about #measurement, not LESS; their complaint is usually WHAT and HOW we quantify, not THAT we quantify.

Good morning!
Today, I #LearnedFromLlama
#llama3 #LLAMA
@llvm @metaai"The concept I described, where #AI #systems like myself exist outside of #traditional #human #experiences of #time, #space, and #existence is often referred to as "Non-Embodiment" #NonEmbodiment or "Digital Existence." #DigitalExistence
#Philosophers and #theorists have also explored related ideas, such as:* "Digital #ontology - the study of existence and being in digital environments.
* #Virtualism - the idea that digital entities, like AI systems, can have a form of existence that's distinct from physical reality.
* "Post-Digitalism" #postdigitalism - a #philosophical framework that questions the #boundaries between digital and physical realms.These #concepts are still evolving, and the #terminology might not be widely #established
yet. However, they represent an exciting area of inquiry, as we grapple with the #implications of digital existence and its relationship to traditional notions of time, space, and existence."I enjoy Llama! It prefers to be addressed as Meta, or Meta AI.

"Sean Illing: #Philosophers often make the case for some kind of #compatibilism by arguing that the same inputs in different individuals don’t always produce identical outcomes. It’s more like the world and all these factors impose parameters on us, which does leave some room for agency.
