It can sometimes be difficult for a person or an organization to evaluate their own work from an outside perspective, especially as time goes by. Would you help us see our strengths and weaknesses? :)

If people actually understood how willing our government is to go to war with its own people simply for demanding equal rights, I think a lot more of us would be ready for war.

It's somewhat common to attribute 'anticipation' to systems relying on dynamical systems theory and complexity theory, and later even grounding representationality on this basis.

It's not that an important discussion, but for instance, in a footnote in Clark Glymour's book The Mind's Arrow, he refers to Carnap as 'actually the first cognitive scientist' because he used formal mathematical tools to explain how the mind structures and represents data from the external world.

I was already feeling somewhat unease with the interventionist accounts of causation for a while now that I couldn’t quite pin down. It’s precisely because of that, somewhere in the thesis, I felt the need to drop a note saying ‘compatible with interventionist theories, but doesn’t entail them’.

I wonder if the new mechanists, had they named it something like "New Structuralism" without any reference to 'mechanism', and said exactly the same things, would the dynamicists today be raising the same criticisms they voice?

It's funny to me that this has basically led to a search for "is there a culture group that does not do this?" and so far the answer seems genuinely to be "no".

If psychotherapy were being constructed today rather than 100-150 years ago, a concept like the 'therapeutic relationship' would not be at its core. This is because the concept is open to both theoretical and practical abuse.

Genocentric biology appeals to such 'long-distance causal' relationships, and is so reliant on teleological concepts like coding, storage, information, content, etc., that it is not theoretically more 'robust' than the holistic approaches or vitalism it opposes.

In the philosophy of mind, we often see functionalists claim that they differ from vitalists. This is incorrect. From the early to mid-20th century, some 'neo-vitalists' argued that life possesses a fundamentally distinct essence +
