> The whole of the history of science is an attack on this very superstition: that the properties of the world are simply "to be read from" the language we use about it. This is something where I agree with you. Interestingly, non-naturalistic analytical metaphysics supposes it can do just that. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/233114810_What_is_A... |

That is, in the use of words. Not in words as objects nor words as mirrors --/ this is the road to non-realist spiritualism
I don't have a problem with a person who maintains a non-scientific world view and with electrical AGI mumbojbo
But of course, few do. They think that they're empiricists, scientists and in the side of some austere hard look at human beings
This is just anti-human spiritualism , it isn't science
what makes me vicious on this point is the sense of injury in what these ideas should be about. in my own mildly aristotleian materialist religion
How awful to overcome one long veil of tears, only to drape another one on -- these people are capable of seeing past human folly, but fall right into another kind
it's disappointing--- we're animals which are both far much more than electric switches and far less
this new electic digital spiritualism is a PR grift which i'd prefer dead
