Why Did It Take So Long to Understand #Evolution By #NaturalSelection?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8iBCly2JcI
In this conversation, host #NeildeGrasseTyson and guest #RichardDawkins reflect on #philosopher #DanielDennett’s view that #Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection is the greatest idea ever conceived. They explore why this insight took so long to arise in #human #history, despite centuries of #philosophical #reasoning.
I had been driving in town a lot lately, how much I missed the beauty of a train commute in the company of a great read. 🙂

‘As real as it ever gets’: Dennett’s conception of the mind | Aeon Essays…
Dennett was a noted stylist and wordsmith too, he was widely read outside of academia. But to say that he was widely read is not to say that he was widely understood, and many have found Dennett’s conception of the mind opaque...

The way to protect human freedom is to make sure that your society is one in which the benefits of being a member of the society are so tempting and so great that people will take responsibility in order for it to happen.

@gubi #DanielDennett, il grande filosofo morto da poco, (o meglio i suoi traduttori italiani) usa in questi casi il termine "piuttostamento".
The pre-eminent philosopher (and recently deceased) Daniel Dennett stated recently that "Large Language Models #LLM are the most dangerous technology ever developed, capable of leading to the collapse of not just #democracy but of #civilization ... This technology can flood the world with manipulative fake people ... Who controls your attention, controls you. We are in danger of losing our free will and being turned into puppets."
Do you agree with Dennett?

#Deepity is a term employed by Daniel Dennett in his 2009 speech to the American Atheists conference, coined by the teenage daughter of one of his friends. The term refers to a statement that is apparently profound but actually asserts a triviality on one level and something meaningless on another. Generally, a deepity has (at least) two meanings: one that is true but trivial, and another that sounds profound, but is essentially false or meaningless and would be "earth-shattering" if true. To the extent that it's true, it doesn't have to matter. To the extent that it has to matter, it isn't true (if it actually means anything). This second meaning has also been called "pseudo-profound bullshit".

"#AI has the capacity to conjure convincing human simulacra from trillions of bytes of data; and, by doing so, to upend centuries of assumptions around truth, identity and our shared experiences of reality."
"We should make it a mark of shame, not pride, when you make your AI more #human."

In memory of Daniel Dennett, I was digging out a sketchbook into which I drew him in 2012 while he was giving a lecture here at the University of Amsterdam.
The subject was what the concept "why" means. I soo wish I could see this fascinating speech again, but even with long online digging I couldn't find a video or book by him with this content.
Farewell, philosopher hero!

Rest in Power Daniel C. Dennett (March 28, 1942 – April 19, 2024) 💜
Daniel C. Dennett has passed.
He left us a long legacy of thoughts and books, which are all worth reading with attention.
We may agree or disagree with some of his thoughts, but we must acknowledge his brilliance, clarity and amazing style in his writings and debates.
Many of his thoughts are inconclusive, leaving a sort of "homework" for the philosophers who follow.
RIP.
