Once you notice the nudity, you can ask “why isn’t he cold, what mechanism keeps him warm, this is mysterious” but you tend to get distracted by “why is everyone pretending???” and get annoyed by it. Part I of Eggplant is “look, no clothes,” and I’ve had to work hard to be polite

Maybe we need an ethnomethodology of this... As the book describes in excruciating detail the finer points of board game play, he remarks "Gee, I played board games before" as he proceeds to skim the rest of the section. But how does he know what sections are important?

On a more serious note, I can read these things if I put myself into a GOFAI mindset; then they seem very sensible critiques. But as someone who was never inducted into the GOFAI hype, it is very difficult to find anything to take away from it.

I think I'm sort of half flipped. Like your blog commenter here: https://meaningness.com/representational-theory-of-mind/comments#comment-1449 … Need to go further and understand this reply of yours. So yeah I need to read some ethnomethodology I think.pic.twitter.com/mnQqiepPCU

Yeah, I think half-flipped is my position as well. I think my model of the situation is Cognitivism ~ classical physics (electrons are localised) Nature ~ quantum physics (electrons are both distributed and localised) Non-representationism ~ 'there are no electrons' (monism?)
