#nominalism — Public Fediverse posts

I am currently viewing “Ontology of the Gene, Information in Biology, Units of Selection” by https://youtube.com/@twohandsphilosophy#.

[ #WatchAlong #LiveTooting ] I will be quoting this Toot with #responses to and #questions about the information presented by the #video.

The description of the video at https://youtu.be/tdtRNff44jY# is as follows (note that hashtags have been included for ease of federated topical searches):

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.

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.
