FOOTNOTE 21
PARTICIPATION AND AGENCY
April 5, 2006IMG
April 13, 2006Sorry for the extended break, but I’ve got a prelim to write. I should be back to normal after the conference.
Footnote 21 from my dissertation proposal, “Rethinking Machines”, section 2.3, in which I discuss the objection that my view is suspiciously pan-psychist.
In other words, if I want to take out the trash, I can do it, I can get someone else to do it, I can get a robot or my pet to do it if I trained them in the right way, but waiting for the wind to take it out is rather futile. One might say the weather just isn’t very competent- it doesn’t play along.
Oh dear god what am I doing with my life.
