Me: "Don't tell me what to do!"

I've been reading #Horkheimer as my vacation book (real light reading, huh?), and it really strikes me of that all the problems that #fascism exploited, many of them are related to why #AI sucks.

In Horkheimer's view, the Nazis were able come along because society had already abandoned absolute truths and turned into #pragmatism & #positivism defining #philosophy instead of the other way around.

Today, we're basing our future on #probabilisticcomputing .. 🙈

#Addams, #Dewey & #James pointed to where there is most struggle to survive as where the most vital experiences of life exist. Addams went so far as to say that if we "shut ourselves away" from sympathy with those experiences, we can mobilize only "half our [own] faculties."

A simple yet overlooked practical & experimental conclusion to be drawn from Jane #Addams' philosophy is that if we wish to introduce new information into any social transaction then, to control the effects of this, we should do so in as noiseless (i.e. neutral) a way as possible.

Deep into Jane #Addams' writings and works at the moment. Can't shake the feeling that the most fruitful reconstruction we could work on #pragmatism studies would involve raising her work to its rightful level of attention alongside the three classical "founders" of pragmatism, i.e. #Peirce, #James, #Dewey. The sheer depth of influence on Dewey from Addams' insights, resulting from her own hands-on cooperative work at Hull House, is as staggering as it is inspiring.
