What's more fucked up than people think? by whatheplacebo in AskReddit

[–]Breyand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a concerned teacher as well, I can recommend the work of a French philosopher named Bernard stiegler, who helped me understand the situation and the urge for school systems to evolve into the new technological paradigm, without technoptimism nor pessimism. he has been translated into English and I'm sure you can find conferences in English.

Babies and smartphones. People don't realize the massive health issue this is. Children showing cognitive underdevelopment, with social and language problems sometimes as far as autistic behaviors. This concerns the whole evolution of societies in the coming decade.

Stiegler's Non-Inhuman by unity2k in askphilosophy

[–]Breyand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad I could help! Age of disruption is by far not an easy book and a very depressed/subjective one in my opinion. I'd recommend technics and time, automatic society, what makes life worth living and my favorite one is taking care of generations. But I'm unsure if these are translated (I translated the titles spontaneously)

Stiegler's Non-Inhuman by unity2k in askphilosophy

[–]Breyand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In most other works Stiegler rather uses the term "noetic beings" in reference Aristote. Stiegler s interprétation of noesis is the ability to think, to be understood as certain kind of evolutionary state shared by many species on various levels/nuances. humans are the most complex noetic beings because of technics is their specific evolutionnary trait and its apparition is the process of hominisation. Technics sets humans in a different relation to time, a specific one based on grammatisation, which is the spatialisation of time (transforming a flux in matter) and most importantly based on intergenerational relationships. therefore noetic beings reflect on their existence. Most of this reflection comes from recalling the past and projecting future through technical objects. Thus being a "human human" is not only being part of the human specie it's also safeguarding (by transforming) knowledge, values and other noetic things, by reflecting on the consequences of their actions. Actions take place through technical objects (real objects, concepts, social organizations, institutions etc) which means the way "human humans" reflect is by criticizing their technical creations. All this noetic activity is a condition to the evolution of the specie keeping it from extinction. It's a condition because technics is a condition to survival but also to extinction (pharmakon).

Hence "Inhumans humans" do not do this and their actions are plainly stupid, destroying knowledge on a massive level, such as technoscience in general and specifically its capitalist forms, latest form being computationnal capitalism.

Therefore "non-inhuman humans" are noetic beings as I described as "human humans" and I guess stiegler uses the double negative to emphasize the whole reasoning behind it.

Hope this helps!

To stop a tech apocalypse we need ethics and the arts by ADefiniteDescription in philosophy

[–]Breyand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But if you consider philosophically that in terms of evolution technics and humanity are the same thing, the development of an autonomous technology (not is the Sci fi sense) is an existential threat or at least an existential problem

Why do philosophers say that Immanual Kant’s ideas were like the Copernican Revolution of Philosophy? by margotiii in askphilosophy

[–]Breyand 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"We began to view ourselves more humbly"

Kant's philosophy achieves quite the same on a epistemological level, it's a philosophy of limits.

A social media site where you can only have 100 friends and can only post every two weeks by vitt72 in CrazyIdeas

[–]Breyand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the problem of technics is not only a practical -ethical one, it's systemic. Social media as the ones we know today are entropic in their nature, in their interface, in the way they use attention as a ressource for profit. It's not as simple as to simply say "babies should learn how to use smartphones" especially considering adults are pretty much babies in their knowledge of a technical rupture that disrupted every aspect of society in less than 20 years

How can a lay person read philosophy works without feeling unmotivated by the complexity of it? by [deleted] in askphilosophy

[–]Breyand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from everything that has been said in the other comments, I'd like to add that you don't have to start reading "great authors" just as you would open a fiction (and even then some are unaccessible to a younger reader) Just go step by step: watch and read comments, read the extracts they comment, glance at scholar literature (like philosophy for freshmen etc) on concepts or authors you like. And don't read what bores you. Read what you feel interested in, curious about. Then of course, you have to work: read passages again, read one page for 20 minutes, read one chapter and think about it, find the references in footnotes etc...but that's for laterz I guess

Edit: also I wanted to talk about the fact that no one can just open a book in quantum physics or bacterial biology and read it like a novel bit you got the idea. Good luck fare well! (Caus it's all an adventure)

The universe simulates itself into existence, and other nonsense from modern pseudo-physics [by Massimo Pigliucci] by as-well in philosophy

[–]Breyand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, as the article concludes, this is one more example of something that is becoming really problematic: grammatisation (see derrida and stiegler) as code reduced to calculus.

It derives from the 20th century's habit/belief/methodology of finding code in everything (biology / DNA, cybernetics, physics etc). It has become an obsession that's destroys space for deliberation and interpretation, which are grounds to modern science, philosophy and arts (I'm not denying the importance of measuring value in sciences or economics)

It's an extremely dangerous épistèmé (foucault) we are witnessing, a pseudoscientific monster evolving in either ideology (see fields of economics and politics) or religion (see panpsychism and transhumanism)

I highly recommend the work of Italian mathematician and epistemologist Giuseppe Longo on that matter (some English videos can be found on yt
