- [Part 2 🧵 #philsci, #HPS] At the dawn of the 17th century scientific paradigm shift, #music was still a fundamental part of the package, but it would soon be getting the axe in order to make room for "all the new cool stuff." (sound familiar?) A tragic error lasting a few 100 years, then a pivot.
- 3. By the time Helmholtz came onto the scene 100 yrs later, the quest for a model of consonance had lost a lot of impetus. Practically everyone had tried & failed & the 1 area left (also increasing in new knowledge) was #physiology, pointing to perception being where the explanation was to be found.
- In that same time frame, the severing of supernatural-as-explanation had largely been accomplished, not only for "special numbers" but also generally for #science. As the "Coincidence" model had mostly ran aground, there was just 1 option left: that consonance was in the ear of the beholder, sic.
- GDP growth is being held up by AI investment and the consumption of the very rich. But for the average American, things aren’t looking good. And if no one has a job, how are they going to afford their $20 per month OpenAI subscription? substack.com/home/post/p-...
- Reasoning solely based on binary #logic was 1 of the 1st assumptions to fall, at the edge of recorded history. Adding the Non-Excluded Middle, we created a huge demand for false dichotomies, based on evolutionary preference for fast-brain simplicity. #Truth is underspecified; #incomplete. #philsci
- Non-Factive Knowledge "The proposal to abandon the truth condition as a necessary condition of knowledge is at least worth considering." Open Access: doi.org/10.1007/s121...
- Napkin proof: Is 2 + 2 = 4 "true"? Not usually, but it is #consistent. Only when we count similar things, which is a hidden assumption for its correctness. Use of variables makes this explicit. 2a + 2b = 2ab This creates new information & demonstrates a system of only a's & b's was incomplete.
