Starting to read philosophy again with Hegel might have been a little bit too ambitious on my part. Interesting dude in an interesting time, but hard to read

CW: Slightly long book review (I am a strange loop) + accompanying pixel art w/closeup of eye
Finally finished reading "I Am a Strange Loop"!
It was a really approachable philosophy-of-the-mind book that leans heavily into allegory and analogy, which I greatly appreciated as someone with a low attention span for dry philosophy and relatively little experience in the subject.
I felt it got a little lost in the weeds at times (especially during the math discussions) but found a lot of the ideas intuitive and convincing.
The author's own experience and privilege seem to color some of the opinions quite a bit, which left me a little concerned about swallowing the other ideas so easily... but it feels like most famous philosophers come from relatively high privilege -- who else can afford to spend their whole career just thinking about thinking?
Overall gave me lots of things to think about, and I'm quite fond of the "strange loop" concept of the self found within the book.

The definition of knowledge as "justified true belief" reveals that we are seriously lacking terminology.
What are the terms for:
* unjustified true belief?
* justified false belief?
* unjustified false belief? -

Rules are artificial so unnatural, patterns are within nature and us so they are natural.

Is the English word «mind» untranslatable into #norwegian? We have “sinn», but it does not feel right. Need a good translation from English into Norwegian that keeps the original philosophical and scientific distinctions between «mind», “brain”, “cognition” and “consciousness” intact. Sorry for bringing my caveman language into academia. #philosohy #language #norsktut #allheimen

I was interviewed by @cbcideas about my current research on the Huarochirí Manuscript and Andean Metaphysics. It was a great opportunity to discuss a piece of philosophical relevance that doesn't get enough attention from philosophers. There is a transcript of parts of the interview and a full almost one hour long conversation in the link. Comments are appreciated. #Indigenous #philosohy #Andean
