A cognitive-scientific perspective on Christopher AlexanderTranscript
I noticed something today and wanted to get a gut check from people more knowledgeable than me before I file a bug, etc.
https://beehaw.org/post/579167 (A) is the same thread as https://programming.dev/post/50696 (B), but for me (account on beehaw.org) there are comments upstream that aren't in my local view. For example, searching B for 'ideas' brings up the nice comment https://programming.dev/comment/182817 by @binwiederhier@discuss.ntfy.sh, but nothing at A. What's more, if I try to copy the URL, https://beehaw.org/comment/182817 seems to lead to an unrelated comment.
Does this seem like expected behavior, or related to recent scaling issues, or an unrelated bug?
Thanks! I totally intend to. After watching this I went down the rabbithole to watch 2 more hours on the subject from a podcast in 2019. His thinking seems to have evolved between 2015 and 2019. Where the TED talk treats evolution as axiomatic, he seems to now be thinking about what sorts of physical laws in the space of consciousness might lead to emergent evolution and natural selection in the perceptual realm. But that feels a lot less falsifiable and scientific? He seems to be giving up a lot of what got him to this point. So I'm curious to read more and understand what he's planning to model if not evolution.
Cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman is trying to answer a big question: Do we experience the world as it really is ... or as we need it to be? In this ever so slightly mind-blowing talk, he ponders how our minds construct reality for us.
