  1. This is a great piece: Amanda Gefter ropes in Ezequiel Di Paolo and enactivism (among others) to understand the appearance of "ghost stories" of AI systems adopting a survival instinct.

    "So today’s AI systems show no evidence of having developed their own goals or desires, or the will to survive. The stories we hear are just stories or, more to the point, marketing copy."

  5. Revolving door
    Two people step through a revolving door in Chicago. One in dark blue, the other in light.
    Before they move, each already feels the turn. The door extracts their feeling going in and out..

  10. The second one is an academic article with an incredible title:

    Enacting the Anti-fascist Body: Somaterapia as Collective Liberatory Becoming

    by a philosopher with an incredible name: Aragorn Eloff

    The article is about somaterapia, a Brazilian anti-fascist body practice aimed at healing the effects of fascism. The idea is that fascism in its cultural form manifests in the body in the form of micro-fascisms: muscular armour, stooped shoulders, fear of intimacy, et cetera. Somaterapia is a practical and radical way of dealing with not just these symptoms, but of rooting fascism out from the source by creating healthier ways of worlding.

    The article explores all of this through the lens of the enactive approach to cognition, and I love the way it introduces and explains the various facets of enactivism necessary for understanding someterapia. It is truly a dialogue between two seemingly disparate practices, done in such a way as to enrich both sides.

    Favourite quote: "joyful senses are not created if there is no revolt and insurgency in the face of what makes us mediocre"

  13. Western philosophy made a mess of colour by pretending it lives either “in objects” or “in minds.”
    In reality, colour happens in the encounter — mediated biologically, cognitively, linguistically, culturally.
    I dismantle the old binaries and show why the apple was never “red in itself” to begin with.
