@Michael_RA @grantmp1 Freud's theory was similar. If you sought to say "sex is one motivator among many" he'd say "you only say that because you have repressed sexual desire." Self-verifying

[Grant Poettcker @_DrGP]

@Michael_RA @grantmp1 Consider her point that these ideologies do not permit themselves to be gainsaid; this is what marks them as distinct sorts of moralities. They are self-verifying and built out of nothing except words, hence nihilism

@AE_Robbert This is exciting work. When you're working on the Front Matter, you really are getting close!

@suzania This is a fascinating thread. The currently dominant polarities don't map these differences *at all*

[Grant Poettcker @_DrGP]

Said “nothing to write home about” the other day and realized how outdated that sounds. What about “Nothing to go live about”?

@brianphillips Enjoyed this. Ironic that Nolan’s parable is so much less of a parable than Kubrick’s. Focusing on the blue flash instead of McCarthyism could’ve humanized the Manhattan Project much more

[Grant Poettcker @_DrGP]

This point, about Nolan's restraint in Oppenheimer, was also my reaction. He repeatedly chose not to go rah-rah and instead to think about human costs and consequences

@LMSacasas Other than your own work, whose philosophical treatments of trends in A.I. are most worth reading? My phil of tech syllabus needs an update

This is a great loss. Borgmann eagerly responded to email inquiries--even from undergraduate students from other schools! A true mensch and great thinker

[LM Sacasas @LMSacasas]

Just learned that the philosopher Albert Borgmann passed away last night. RIP.

His work remains vital and it has been essential to my own thinking about technology.

Delightful. Brings a whole different dimension to “Ascension”
