Better ways of thinking, feeling, and acting—around problems of meaning and meaninglessness; self and society; ethics, purpose, and value.

Feynman’s approach (https://youtu.be/CJ8MzWncFfQ ) was: look at something, try to drop your assumptions, ask: how does that work? Find simple expl
Look at a physicist, drop 2500 years of wrong philosophy of science, ask “how does that work?” Answer includes: “not without paper.”
If you watch physicists and ask “how does that work?” obvious partial answer is: “not without colleagues.” Thinking is inherently social.
In mid-80s Palo Alto, was an extraordinary synthesis of anglophone cognitivism with anthro/sociology influenced by Continental philosophy
Central late-80s insight: cognition not primarily in individual brain, because (1) whole body and inanimate tools also required; and >
(2) social division of cognitive labor; I *can’t* “know” that Ouagadougou is the capital of Burkina Fasso by myselfhttp://meaningness.com/representational-theory-of-mind/comments#comment-663 …
Work I did with Phil Agre (http://meaningness.com/metablog/ken-wilber-boomeritis-artificial-intelligence …) imported the "Palo Alto synthesis" into AI; forced some philosophers to pay attention.
For various personal reasons, the social group promoting the “Palo Alto synthesis” disintegrated, and the ideas were mostly forgotten.
Would you be able to recommend some reading on what you called "Palo Alto synthesis"? Preferably something other than "Human machine reconfigrations" or Phil Agree's thesis (or your thesis ;) ) - I'm aware of those already.
From this: Dreyfus; Winograd&Flores; Smith. Lave&Wenger’s Situated Learning. Rosch, Varela, Thompson’s Embodied book. Julian Orr. Maybe if you are looking for something more specific I can make better suggestions?https://meaningness.com/further-reading
That will be great for now! Not looking for anything specifc right now, that just seemed interesting and I want to dig a little bit deeper.
