If people want the deeper background behind my critique of pancomputationalism, here are 10 books that shaped my thinking. None is "the answer" by itself, but each helped me break the spell of the machine metaphor in biology. Many of them are available online, DM if not!/1 😉

I’ve changed so little. From my 1978 Bachelor’s thesis:
“The adult human mind is very complex, but the question remains open whether the learning processes that constructed it in interaction with the environment are similarly complex. Much evidence and many peoples’ intuitions suggest that the learning processes are in fact simple and that the adult mind’s complexity is due to a long history of adaptive interaction with a complex environment.”
Philosophers who use Gödel's incompleteness theorem to make claims about "fundamental limits of human knowledge" have made a category error. It's about axiomatization, not epistemology. 1/

You know what dear followers, this is what happened yesterday in the Swedish Parliament. A unified Parliament voted in favor of sending the 18th & largest military support package to #Ukraine.
Then we applauded the decision, which seldom happens. 👏
