Scopro con una settimana di ritardo che è mancato Daniel , illustre filosofo della mente. In un mondo che blatera di senza capirci granché avremmo un gran bisogno che qualcuno in più leggesse le sue opere. Certo, aveva i pregi e i difetti di un liberal americano, con la deplorevole tendenza a mandare frecciatine a chi era più a sinistra di >

I just discovered Daniel Dennett after one week he passed away. 😔

With some online support, I've translated to Portuguese an article he wrote on 'How to make mistakes'

https://web-archive.southampton.ac.uk/cogprints.org/288/1/howmista.htm

There's nothing more grave done by schools than teaching us to be afraid of making mistakes.

I'm adding in the replies the link to the version in Portuguese.

RIP

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.

The Mind's I: Fantasies and Reflections on Self and Soul by Douglas R. Hofstadter & Daniel Clement Dennett, 2001

With contributions from Jorge Luis Borges, Richard Dawkins, John Searle, and Robert Nozick, The Mind's I explores the meaning of self and consciousness through the perspectives of literature, artificial intelligence, psychology, and other disciplines.

A new blog post is out from @ElectionGraphs. That's @abulsme's site where he builds predictive models based on current polls.

Highlights:

"If a Biden vs Trump election was held today (it won't be), it would be fundamentally too close to call."

"[polls' trends] have at least leveled off, and may have started moving in Trump's direction again."

TruthSandwich,

@Bugaboo @HistoPol @barney

Which is, of course, nonsense.

I summarized Dennett in this blog post.
