This is Two Hands #Philosophy, in which my friends and I discuss philosophical topics to #learn from each other and from our readings. This #discussion with Rodrigo Vanegas and Theral Timpson considered the following topics and philosophers: the #ontology of the #gene, information in #biology, and units of selection after reading papers by Paul Griffiths, Karola Stotz, Peter Godfrey-Smith, and Elizabeth Lloyd.

Twitter censorship is still alive.
[Update 23 April 2023: It looks like the ban was revoked].I wrote a long thread on Nominal and Natural Kinds, which are concepts developed by Saul Kripke around 1970. Kripke revolutionised Modal Logic at the age of 17 in 1957, providing completeness proofs making modal logic as sound as the first-order logic developed by Bertrand Russell with Principia Mathematica in 1910. Until then, analytic philosophers had followed Russell in thinking that modal logic was mythical talk.
How could this lead to censorship? The thread started when I heard a discussion on the Russian Philosopher Dugin, where his translator explained how Dugin drew a link from Occam's Nominalism to #Liberalism, the #trans debate and the current #geopolitical situation. That seemed a bit of a stretch, but it had the advantage of getting me interested in #Nominalism.
Dugin is known as Putin’s philosopher, and the trans debate is a controversial topic. Could it explain the #censorship?
Yet having porn, violence, and other crazy stuff available to all has never bothered Twitter. Could it be that analytic philosophy is just too explosive, too revolutionary?There is only one lonely tweet at the end of that thread which remains visible. I was just quoting Steven Pinker on how philosophers like to question anything, from God to causation... Pinker was quoting a blog post by another MIT professor titled "Philosophy's No-Go-Zone". What could that be?

#Iconism is a degenerate species of #Nominalism.

As a #philkdickian #goy (a nation, i.e. of that nation), and therefore a #nominalism nominalist (read his essays), I stand where I stand; I can do no other.

#ZerothLawOfSemiotics • Discussion 3.1
• https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2022/12/14/zeroth-law-of-semiotics-discussion-3/#Russell had no #PragmaticSemiotics so his perspective on signs and #SignRelations was mired in #Syntacticism, a species of #Nominalism. From #Peirce's POV we are able to ask, and we have to ask, what could it possibly mean for a sign to refer to itself? Indeed, do signs refer to themselves at all, or is it only that #Interpreters refer signs to their objects? The whole problem looks very different once we take that point of view.

Zeroth Law Of Semiotics
Meaning is a privilege not a right.
Not all pictures depict.
Not all signs denote.Never confuse a property of a sign,
just for instance, existence,
with a sign of a property,
for instance, existence.Taking a property of a sign
for a sign of a property
is the zeroth sign of
nominal thinking
and the first
mistake.Also Sprach 0*
