Yes - Watsuji’s Climate and Culture - has a lot of tie in and interesting comparisons with Parfit for sure

Design and software at Apple. Also into AI, philosophy of mind, ethics.

Parfit sort of has this idea too, that identity is nothing more than things having a certain relation to one another (Relation-R). Can be many to one.

Maybe less hive mind but more “field”

I wonder how that divergence influences the design of AI and robotics. Is the West taking a default approach of building autonomous agents, whereas the East would rather conceive networked entities that operate as collaborative swarms?

And is a speculative AGI really one single entity or more akin to a hive mind?

An interesting view point: if anything I’d say the point of divergence was more around Christianity / and subsequent fracturing of Christianity and rebellion in the form of Enlightenment that’s led us here. Many Classical Antiquity Greek philosophers would have whole heartedly agreed with this initial viewpoint imo

The more I think about this, the more I think the burden of proof is on the West.

Why not both ? ☯️🙂
Shinto’s vision seems balanced here

This seems to get into free will. If there is no free will, is there really a you, a self? Eastern meditative practices will challenge practitioners to find a self in order for the to understand that there is none. There are experiences, but no experiencooor independent of the experience.

Great way to start my day. Bookmarking for later 

Thanks @july

Always bringing the brain juice @july !

As often when 2 extremes coexist, the truth draws from both

A network of nodes with individual null utility has 0 utility

A network of nodes with utility may have emergent behaviours greater than the sum of its parts

Central to our foundational epistemology and political philosophies as they were essentially born of rationalism in the west. And to my mind, flawed. Time for new Myths 🙇‍♂️

Just wanted to say, thank you, read the whole article and now I added a lot of authors to my to-read list 🙏
