I’m not sure, are there any practices nonduality doesn’t touch? I haven’t thought about it. For me nonduality seems to coimply embedded agency or the need to budget one’s cognition in any way, which I guess would be related with extended cognition (the reliance on other peoples’ cognitive products), well, I guess it depends what we mean by dualism. Dualism as far as I ever had it was, conceiving the mind as an idealised decision theory agent, a type of thing which wouldn’t work at all without infinite compute, though I never believed literally that, so idk. Oh no. Is believing in pi in FDT (the policy metaphysically shared by all FDT agents) dualistic. Well. If so maybe there’s a kind of dualism I’d stand for! :<. And the dualism of spiritualists often seems to presume some form of hypercomputation.
Generally I couldn’t say I disagree with any of that. So maybe yes.
the more extended and open you can make that cognition, the better it is?
I didn’t mean to make it about that specifically. But maybe you’re onto something, maybe it really is about that. We should be doing more extended cognition than we used to, given the existence of the internet. I get the sense that my type tends to care more about discourse health, perhaps because we identify more with broader discursive systems, we enjoy believing things that we read online, so we are bothered when the online has production issues.
