    The answer is actually "no, #AI can't have a consciousness" but he dived into explaining it using the #philosophical, #ontological foundations of #quantummechanics and why the phenomenon of wave function collapse is behind it. Mindblowing, I dare say

  5. i don't know how to communicate to #people that #therapy is not an #ontological good-- that, when performed "correctly," it's still #harmful and #coerces the #patient into expressing and processing their emotions normatively so as to make them more suited for #labor under a #capitalist #system

  7. I'm back to Anselm's Proslogion in the Sadler's Lectures podcast. Here's the first new episode in this series, looking at chapter 3 and 4, where Anselm expands on his argument for the existence of God

  9. 📢#OutNow in #OA: 'A Relational Realist Vision for Education Policy and Practice', by Basem Adi.

    This volume argues that relational realism can help us to make better #educational #policy that is more effective in practice. Basem Adi draws on critical realism to thoroughly re-examine fundamental assumptions about how #government #policymaking works, developing an #ontological basis from which to examine existing #government approaches and imagine an alternative approach based on a relational realist-informed critical #pedagogy.

    Adi casts familiar issues in a new light by drawing on a less familiar theoretical and #metatheoretical tradition, offering a critique that can be productively engaged with by many #educational organizations to tackle the issues they face.

  10. "The generally delocalized rank-1 projectors..describe its fundamental #ontological elements..highest-rank projectors corresponding to individual localized objects describe an emergent #particle model..whose masses & energies may be negative or imaginary. This retrocausal top–down model leads to an intuitive particle-based..picture, wherein weak measurements directly probe the properties of these..#particles, which exist whether or not they are actually measured"

  12. 150 (or so) Arguments for #Atheism

    "A popular view in contemporary #analytic #philosophy of #religion is that while there are many arguments for #theism -- #cosmological, #ontological, and #teleological arguments; #moral arguments; arguments from #consciousness; etc. (...) -- there are only one or two arguments for atheism, viz., the problem of #evil and (more recently) the argument from #divine hiddenness.

    This is a misconception. Here are well over 150"

  15. "The system" doesn't exist outside our mindsets, logics, values. It's embedded in and reproduced by them.

    So we can't possibly speak about #systemchange without speaking of change of what's fundamentally system's foundation.

    Hence my interest in #ontological change. Just making that clear to myself too :)

  16. Are our religious #beliefs justifiable? In other words, which of our faith claims are #ontological claims? Which are subjective claims?
    We must ask because we usually have faith that our beliefs are true, yet faith is not synonymous with #knowledge.
    And now an even deeper question: How can anyone know that any of our claims about beliefs or knowledge are true? We feel like we have knowledge ("I know that such-and-such is true") but how did we come to know this?
