🧠💻 The Big #Fallacy: Why Our #Brain Isn't a #Computer

The popular #brain-computer analogy misses the mark entirely. The brain doesn't run on code; it works fundamentally differently from any #computer.

Before they move, each already feels the turn. The door extracts their feeling going in and out..

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"

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.

🌱 The emergence of the #self – #mind & #body united 🧠 🙋‍‍

What if our self arises from the living #organism and not from the separation of mind & body? 🤯

Thomas Fuchs shows how #embodiment, #consciousness & AI shape our sense of self.

🧠 #Cognition is embodied 🫃

Perception, thought, and feeling are inextricably linked to the #body.

In the #Zoomposium with Thomas Fuchs, we talk about #embodiment, #consciousness, and #AI—and ask: Does the #body play a role in decision-making?

For those interested in the compatibility of enactivism and mechanism, Jonny Lee has a nice new paper out on this topic.

Good so far :) I'm currently in Padova, Italy where I was invited to speak about the philosophical implications of the #locked-in-syndrome for #4E cognition and #enactivism in special on Wednesday. Something what would probably interesting for you as well, I assume :) Either way, I hope you're doing good, too!

#introduction
I am a trade unionist at #FNV #NL. My master's thesis in #philosophy (2002) was about #Wittgenstein's #pragmatism and #enactivism. I am currently particularly interested in The Labor Question, then and now.

Do my best to learn #Italian. Papà di 2 ragazzi e 2 ragazze.
