Thought experiment: Your brain is slowly replaced with silicon neurons that behave exactly the same. Nothing in your experience changes.

Answer: What matters for mind is FUNCTION, not substance. Mind is software. Biology is just the first operating system.

Consciousness May Require a New Kind of Computation - Neuroscience News A new theoretical framework argues that the long-standing split between computational functionalism and biological naturalism misses how real brains actually compute.

The debate is stuck between two camps:
computational #functionalism vs biological #naturalism.

In our new paper, we propose a third way: #biological #computationalism.

Česká pošta building, Brno - Bohuslav Fuchs

Bohuslav Fuchs’s sleek lines and functional spaces echo Bauhaus ideals in all of his Brno buildings 🏢🖤 #Functionalism #Bauhaus

Therefore when someone tells /universe/ is intelligent and that /intelligence/ is an inherent property of the universe, I ask, who is the one that's interpreted and who's the interpreter?

For meaning, there must be two sides. There must be a sign and there must be an interpreter. When you consider /everything/ a sign to /everything/, you actually discard the interpreter. When there is no interpreter, meaning cannot arise from the signs by itself.

Words and signs can have meaning, but life isn't a sign and the world doesn't have to make meaning.

What sociology says about manners and etiquette. YouTube video by Disrupt Norms

What does Sociology have to say about manners and etiquette? Is it the social glue that keeps a society together? Or is it an attempt at dominance hidden in being 'polite'?

The history of the Bauhaus saw an evolution from Expressionism in Weimar to functionalism in Dessau & its final phase in Berlin 🔄🎨🏢 #BauhausHistory #Expressionism #Functionalism

Why do schools, jobs, and even TikTok exist? Functionalism says it’s all about keeping society running. On this Method Monday, we break down how sociologists study social structures—with surveys, stats, and a bit of sarcasm.
