bascule Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Yeah, that video rocks. I e-mailed the creator regarding some of the ideas I had betwee him and Dennett. He never got back to me. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bascule Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 How exactly did you approach the subject...Did you hit him with the Mecha-transcendentism first? Actually I approached him with the idea of metaconsciousness, that human collective action is resulting in structures which are increasingly similar to the human brain.

GutZ Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Well that's not scary...Why would he ditch you like that!?!? I'd e-mail him again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bascule Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Well that's not scary...Why would he ditch you like that!?!? I'd e-mail him again! Perhaps because I didn't phrase my ideas in a language that was acceptable to him. Daniel Dennett responded the first time I approached him with the idea, although I had read several of his books and thus was able to phrase my ideas in his language. However, his response was brief and he only stated that he'd considered similar ideas from others but didn't plan on adopting any such ideas in the near future. I e-mailed Dennett this video. He didn't respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
