I don’t think folk psychology does a good job at ontology when it comes to speaking about subjects like depression or willpower.
I’d agree with that.
How does what you propose there differ from General Semantics?
I don’t know enough about General Semantics to offer much here, but from a quick reading of Wikipedia it feels like GS is aimed at a slightly different goal, and relies on a much different algorithmic stack, than a CSHW-inspired theory of language and meaning. Would be glad to hear your thoughts.
Hi shminux,
You’re welcome to follow the academic literature trail I link to. CSHW is a new paradigm so it would definitely would benefit from a close critical review, if you’re able to provide that. (If you’d rather just critique something as pattern-matching to “crackpot red flags” and “pretty pictures” you can do that too, but I find this to be a content-free strategy of avoiding dealing with any of my object-level or methodological claims, and think that it needlessly lowers the level of discussion.)
I mention my personal intuitions about “limitations and potential failures” near the end of my piece; . My expectation is that CSHW, along with the predictive coding framework, is the most plausible route for neuroscience to develop knowledge in the five spheres I identified. (“Most plausible” does not mean “sure thing” of course.) The hard work still needs to be done of course. If you know of more plausible ways to unify neuroscience I’d be happy to read about it.
