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 .. 🙈

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.
