• for: materialism Vs panpsychism

• comment

  • Husserl's phenomenology, especially his views on epoche in his later years lean more towards panpsychism although they are different in a nuanced way.
  • there is direct, pure biological phenomenological experience ,- Epoche may give us a taste of it, interment meditation may go further and the deepest meditation of decades of intense practice may re-immerse us in it.
  • Feral children who grow into feral adults, an extremely rare occurrence, may have an immersive experience of it
  • social conditioning of language bind meaning tightly to our construction and experience of objects in our sensory field
  • it is extremely difficult to disentangle our conditioned meaning with prelinguistic phenomenological experience of reality
  • spiritual awakening or enlightenment would appear to show that it is possible
  • When we attach such strong meaning to ideas, such as to scientific ideas, "material* objects, in spite of their attached, implicit symbolic complexity, appear to have a natural, autonomous and obvious existence.
  • in this way, our conscious constructs become solidified and mistaken for concrete, autonomously existent objects. Consciousness then comes to mistaken variants of consciousness itself with autonomously existent objects

A major benefit of working in public is that it invites immediate feedback (hopefully positive, constructive criticism) from anyone who might be reading it including pre-built audiences, whether this is through social media or in a classroom setting utilizing discussion or social annotation methods.

This feedback along the way may help to further find flaws in arguments, additional examples of patterns, or links to ideas one may not have considered by themselves.

Sadly, depending on your reader's context and understanding of your work, there are the attendant dangers of context collapse which may provide or elicit the wrong sorts of feedback, not to mention general abuse.

If you made embed-able forums for web pages and sites, you could inadvertently boost signups, and boost plugin downloads. It'd be awesome to have a third party host for user profiles linkable to my site and forum. Even if you linked facebook or something, for fast signup, server data, etc...

I have not taken a government class in over six years so this article was kind of difficult to read. As the results are stated, I understand how the conclusion came to be, but I do not understand what they mean. How can staffers have any influence on policies if they only have a limited understanding of consituent preferences? I know I'm not totally educated on this topic, but it seems like an important factor after reading this article.

Should be Fig. 16.5.4. As well as for the subsequent Fig. 16.5.4 (a), Fig. 16.5.4 (b) and Fig. 16.5.4 (c).

In the same vein, Fig. 16.21 should be replaced by Fig. 16.5.5, and also Fig. 16.5.5 (a), Fig. 16.5.5 (b) and Fig. 16.5.5 (c), as above.

Love this formulation of the "constructive knower".

Notice the focus on student-agency - but doesn't teaching still matter?
