BTW, love the Effing the ineffable since 1973 line. To focus on the pressure point after acknowledging our shared commitment to anti-substantialism and the process of selfhood (a heuristic in my ontological grammar), I diverge insomuch that subjecthood is not treated as a metaphysical glow generated by some boundaryhood, but as modal differentiation within an encounter-field: a self-maintaining, constraint-responsive process cluster that yields salience, affordance asymmetry, and, at the thicker end, reflexive integration. More fundamentally, I think we part ways on the notion of consciousness, which I don't believe is something requiring a positive ontological story about felt interiority. My take is that by 'nounifying' the process of consciousness, it creates a need to locate it in space-time. I prefer to retain the verb-process aspect instead.

You’re right that the cosmic language outruns the formal tools — that’s the tension between writing accessibly and writing precisely. The core claim is closer to your “emergent organisational differentiation” than the poetic framing might suggest. The teleological phrasing is not necessary and may be over-emphasized, even if it speaks to me personally. To the reification point, for example with the Markov blanket, I think it can serve a purpose as a formal description of where the process is happening, but not the thing doing the happening. The self is not the blanket, it is the process that maintains itself at the blanket That’s a meaningful distinction to keep in mind.

I use music and a ProTools example to illustrate the difference between duration and time. I even invoked the debate between Bergson and Einstein in 1922. philosophics.blog/2026/04/02/why… Time doesn't exist. It's merely a useful heuristic that humans use for social structure. Duration is more intrinsic. Physics has created a space-time map and confused it with the underlying terrain. #philosophy #physics #time #duration #blog #podcast #Einstein #Bergson #debate #music #metaphor #social #ClaudeAI

After another 'AI Detected' flag, I resorted to Gemini to lay it out. philosophics.blog/2026/03/31/thi… Gemini produced an entire blog post. It did offer me tips to dumb down my writing, but I declined. I also had NotebookLM create a podcast, cuz that's how I roll. #philosophy #writing #ai #aidetectors #statistics #falsepositives #aipolice #bollox #blog #podcast #academicessays #lexicaldensity #LLMs #ontologicalgrammar #Parfit #perception #syntacticregularity #critique #Gemini #Kant #language #pooh

In 1966, a U.S. Navy pilot secretly blinked the word “TORTURE” in Morse code while being coerced into claiming he was fine.

It was U.S. Navy Commander Jeremiah Denton Jr. in Vietnam. He believed his captors did not discover his ruse until roughly 1974, after his release. However, he was severely punished immediately after the 1966 interview for his spoken defiance, as he had used the opportunity to voice full support for the U.S. government rather than denouncing the war as instructed.

Israel has now seized a larger percentage of Lebanon's total landmass than Russia has taken from Ukraine since its 2022 invasion. The latter was immediately met with international uproar and unprecedented multi-sectoral sanctions while the former is barely even mentioned.
