'Weird experience'

7/24/2024

 
'We are part of the “world” of memetica, but we are also set over “against” it or “correlated” to it.
 
This makes for a weird experience of being caught up within “in it” and even being very much “of it” but also coming to awareness of these facts and thus creating some intellectual, emotional, and existential distance from them.'

-Fragments of Memetica, No. ​34.  [20210213]

'ecology of it all'

7/19/2024

 
'There’s the entire ecology of “it all”.
 
Then there’s the entire “ecology of it all” for you and me – humans, communities, cohorts, various groups – and then also individually:
 
-“it all” for you
 
-“it all” for me
​
And then there’s “snapshots”, cases, or examples from within the ecology – a part of the whole that also is the whole, in part.  Keeping in mind different ways that parts may relate to wholes – especially in either reductionist terms or complexity terms:
 
-a part as a piece, or
 
-a part as a constituent participant of the whole (cf. Sokolowski; K. Burke).'

-Fragments of Memetica,  No. 33.  [20210207]

'constitutive' and 'other'

7/5/2024

 
'Phenomenology can be complementary and in synch with evolutionary cognitive science in, to begin with, accepting that the very structures and processes of our perception and cognition are already part of the universe/world we humans attempt to objectify. 

On the one hand, there has to be a certain resignation to the limits of our cognition in fathoming what is “other” than us.  On the other hand, methods and tools of science can catapult us above our baseline cognitive (and physical) capacities.  Not to mention A.I.
 
“Constitutive” and “other”.'

-Fragments of Memetica, 32., pt 2.  [20210130]
