Importance of Principle: It underscores the importance of adhering to principles, even when it's unpopular or goes against the prevailing view. It's a call for moral courage and intellectual integrity.

In essence, Washington is arguing for a steadfast commitment to what is inherently true and morally sound, regardless of societal pressure or widespread acceptance.

Beyond Subjective Truth: Restoring Objectivity in a Confused World

"One is the phenomenon of ‘#naïverealism’, which describes how people instinctively assume that their perception of the world reflects #objectivereality. In actuality, everything we perceive and ‘know’ about the world has been filtered through a complex mesh of #cognitivebiases, #sensoryshortcuts, shifting emotion-infused memories, and more.

The 2nd video gets into the real stuff! There's quite a few interesting ideas, but I also outline my argument. I point to a few other spectacular works. After this video you should know if the series is for you 😅

Here's the beginning of a prospective blog series I started … this topic interacts strongly with a host of others I've been struggling to articulate over the years …

❝Computations or Processes —
How do you think about the building blocks of the brain?❞

I keep coming back to this thread about levels, along with others on the related issue of paradigms, as those have long been major questions for me. I am trying to clarify my current understanding for a blog post. It will start out a bit like this —

A certain amount of “level” language is natural in the sciences but “level” metaphors come with hidden assumptions about higher and lower places in hierarchies which don't always fit the case at hand. In complex cases what look at first like parallel strata may in time be better comprehended as intersecting domains or mutually recursive and entangled orders of being. When that happens we can guard against misleading imagery by speaking of domains or realms instead of levels.

To be continued …

What is "#ObjectiveReality "?

What did Nietzsche and Foucault mean when they declared: "There are no facts, only interpretations"? The problem he was referring to is metaphysical in nature. In essence, what he meant was that we have never seen objective reality for what it truly is.
