I'm reading Reni Yankova's work on habit based on Peircean #semiotics and somehow I feel there's a connection to be made with Lisa Feldman Barret's #meaningMaking...

But it's still just a hunch 🤔

@timnitGebru

Techno-trandscendentalism #TESCREAL is spreading like wildfire in influential tech-affine circuits, and also in the so-called #MeaningMaking and #GameB communities.

It is an ideology that is dangerous and deluded.

I'm not saying that the concept of #personhood is not valid or useful to #moral #decision-making.

I am also aware that this can be emotionally triggering, much the same as discussions of #PersonalIdentity or #Consciousness or #qualia, etc.

But I am saying that 'personhood' has served as a simplified placeholder for a more general and abstract way of looking at moral decision-making—a better view that avoids the bumps and discontinuities at the limits of the 'personhood' view, and provides extensibility to allow for moral (right-in-principle) decision-making applied to non-person objects such as our environment, animals of various types and degrees of sentience, actions against 'persons' but with no measurable consequences, and moral consideration of potential artificial agents to the extent that they act within a shared context of #meaningmaking

Yes, agency does have its own unique characteristics. It is fascinating to think about how these characteristics shape our actions and help us form habits and make meaning out of our lives. #Agency #MeaningMaking #Habits https://sigmoid.social/@ceperez/109582544556703173

Yes, agency certainly has its own unique characteristics. It is fascinating to see how these characteristics come together to shape our actions and create a sense of identity over time. #Agency #MeaningMaking https://sigmoid.social/@ceperez/109582544556703173

Not much on belief but I do find ritual and meaning making useful. Lately I’ve been playing with this quip, “it’s not ‘let’s go, c’mon god’ - it’s ‘let go and let god.’” #meaningmaking #uncertainty

ICYMI in the holiday onslaught, here's @blamlab@twitter.com on one of the biggest questions we've ever tackled:

What sets human #learning, #curiosity, and #consciousness apart from that of other animals?

This week on #ComplexityPodcast, we conclude our conversation with @BlamLab@twitter.com (SFI+@JohnsHopkins@twitter.com) with a deep dive into the gifts of #simulation and #meaningmaking:

After my question about tabletop, meaning-making, spirituality, and ritual got some traction here, I wound up answering a question on the topic over on Hive, which turned into a post on Cohost. (My, the number of social networks I'm on there days!)

I figured I'd link it here since there was interest in the topic! It's called "more on tabletop and meaning-making"

@dungeonminister Absolutely! Before I became a TTRPG creator, I spent 14 years as a higher ed professional (first as an instructor, then as an admin) specializing in spirituality. I have two advanced degrees in religion, and as an interfaith & diversity professional have spoken and published nationally and internationally.

I've had ideas simmering in my brain for awhile now about the intersection of spirituality and TTRPGs. So much possibility!

Mine isn't an easily labeled path, but I am a devotee of #Hekate and my most recent creation on itchio is actually a ritual I created for #Sahmain — a solo version of a Silent Supper.

I'd love to chat with you anytime on the subjects of #Spirituality #TTRPGs #Ritual and #MeaningMaking.
