I don’t get the point of the argument anymore?

If it emerges from the fundamental features that themselves emerges from “lower” features, isn’t anything “higher up” going to happen? It did for us so it always would?

These guys are really circling for semantics not theories of reality and consciousness. Has anyone considered English is just a terrible system for this sort of reasoning?

I’ll give a virologist and other applied math types props for data driven and concrete outcomes.

These post-modernists are just deconstructing/reconstructing in circles for book sales, IMO.

If they can output something concrete humanity can use give them all the gold in the world. Otherwise it’s just a book club to me anymore

Human existence is Venn diagrams of desperate efforts for attention.
