From Non-Cognitivism to Global Expressivism: Carnap’s Unfinished Journey?

i hate behaviorism, but jesus fuck the “brains just do statistics” flavor of cognitivism is at least as cursed. we need to move on from the brain as computer model asap, before it does more damage both to brain research and tech research

hey @olivia.science i was faced with a... *sigh*... "ai interview" yesterday.
I was thinking of refusing on religious grounds.
what are we calling the religion which prohibits me from using "ai"?
Butlerian Humanism?
Orthodox Cognitivism?
Rooijian Asceticism?

When I read papers from 50 or 100 years ago speculating about how the brain might work, I don't see a huge difference with how we talk about it now. Few (none?) of the big debates have been settled: innate versus learned, spikes versus rates, behaviourism versus cognitivism, ...

What makes this book unique & important?
UK's education is stuck in behaviouro–classical cognitivism. It emphasises telling, repeating, and storage.
Teaching Meaning looks to enactive cogsci, a contemporary field based on sense-making, meaning, and systemic relations.

In developing CA, Sacks was explicitly responding to, critiquing, Chomskyan linguistics, among other things. CA is a critique of representationalist cognitivism & psychologism more generally.

This book is cogsci.
Just not classical cognitivism.
Not what's become popular on EduSocialMedia.
It's enactivist cogsci.
A different view of cognition enacted in my classroom.

Laying down a path in (biology) teaching.
This is how to provoke understanding in practical detail.
How to teach in adaptive dialogue & diagrams.
How to see with systems theory & variation theory.
This is a new way of being & doing. This is a new model.

No worries! 😊 I got really into the EMCA/DP anti-/non-cognitivism stuff when I started my PhD (after my cogneuro MSc). I was into EMCA already and specifically interactional respecifications or critiques of 'theory of mind'. It's fun stuff. Always recommend Coulter's 25 Theses Against Cognitivism.

Reminds me of Francisco Varela's enactivist arguments back in 90s. Cognitivism strayed too far into deliberate reasoning and neglected "immediate coping", which is actually the vast majority of our cognition.

basically my default path was going to be an english or phil degree or something, because i sort of act like that at rest, and then i read far enough into cognitivism to become an AI Guy.
basically i think the cookie-cutter essay is paint-by-numbers, and it does build skills but it's also bad

Ethical Non-Cognitivism: Are Ethical Judgments More Like Desires Than Beliefs? - 1000-Word Philosophy: An Introductory Anthology
Ethical non-cognitivists argue that ethical judgments are, strictly speaking, not beliefs: they are expressions of emotions, or commands, or expressions of approval or some other non-cognitive mental state. This essay introduces this view in metaethics.
