Is "Bittorio" by Varela a better toy model?

The second session of the "Core Enaction" programme from Mind & Life Europe kicks off in a little more than half an hour (1700 UTC/1800 CET).

We continue our reading of "The Embodied Mind" with Philippe Blouin looking at Chapter 2 and asking "What do we mean 'human experience'?"

Catch the lifestream or catch up on the MLE YouTube channel:

The main takeaway is the need to move away from a tranactional model of consent to an adverbial one – consent is a way of doing something, not a momentary exchange. This means we need to understand and elucidate the kinds of skills that are involved, and the social, political, and physical resources made available to enact those skills.

Quantum mechanics meets the embodied mind! I had the pleasure of moderating a fascinating conversation between physicist Chris Fuchs and philosophers/cognitive scientists Ezequiel Di Paolo and Hanne De Jaegher about QBism and enactive cognition. Full video here: https://youtu.be/eOUYKj4xFkM

Professor @evantthompson and I discuss consciousness and the Self from different spiritual and scientific perspectives. How is the sense of self constructed & does it change in different states of consciousness? What is Self in relation to consciousness? https://youtu.be/9ejW63jqP4U

"Information" in Shannon-Weaver sense should clearly be differentiated with living "𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞-𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠". But how to spread this important lucid point into the (scientific and technologic) community?

@ki_cog Are you confining the term information to human communicators? What word should we use to describe “info” in genomes or in computers?

"We argued that the state of co-embodiment leads necessarily to co-homeostasis (...). Co-homeostasis in human primitive bodies relies upon self-regulatory processes achieved through others". Brilliant! 🎩 👏

[Enaction & Pharmakology]

From my point of view, enaction should walk on it's two legs: body and participatory sense-making, this is the pharmakologic strategy, ... 1/2

"This is the idea of dissolving barriers without erasing difference. In some cases, accepting boundaries but learning about the flows that cross them and how to see through them." - Di Paolo

Here's an interesting nugget to chew on:

"In Spencer-Brown's system of thought memory is a form of being, of a distinction, of a self-referential activity, of a boundary ."

Just arrived in my mailbox! 👍I'm only five years late 😄 But good things are timeless. I will read it next after putting online my work (working on a personal web site). And I'm sure it will make a difference.

Very interesting exchange with @metastabilian about articulating 1st and 3d person perspectives, dynamic patterns (Scott Kelso), and personal trajectories. Uplifting. 😃

"The philosopher John Searle recently argued that the brain, as an organ, does not process information by some imaginary computational rule-following any more than the gut does!"

[Epistemology of Enaction] The non-reductionist pragmatic turn/roots of enaction which, in conjunction with the more traditional phenomenologically inspired enaction and ecological psychology, could lead to a non-mechanical understanding of brain, mind and nature in science. Yes! 👏🎩

First book cited by Francisco Varela in very interesting and thougt provocative text that I do recommand to everyone: "ORGANISM: A MESHWORK OF SELFLESS SELVES" (Varela, 1991). You can find a video lecture of it by Di Paolo there:
