E.g. if you assume knowledge consists of datastructures representing fopc wffs, you inevitably hit a combinatorial explosion. So we applied modus tolens, and concluded that knowledge can’t be datastructures or wffs or anything like that. Our program Pengi did fine without them.
Garfinkel contrasts our use of the contingencies with his. I think I know where he’s going with this, but I’m live-tweeting his paper as I’m reading it, and am just starting to read that section, so stay tuned!
Right! So this is why Garfinkel is studying the daily hassles of lab science. The point is that nature is “obstinate and recalcitrant,” so you can’t just make up nice stories about it. You want “instructably reproducible phenomena,” and that’s what’s hard to get.pic.twitter.com/LyaZKf3N2j
ah, the thing where you can't proceduralize a scientist. (or an engineer or mechanic for that matter.) yes, that's quite true.
Right! Although, if you say “you can’t proceduralize X” to a rationalist, they’ll launch into explaining Church-Turing to you, and will not listen when you try to explain how that’s irrelevant…
