Anticipation and Future-Oriented Capabilities in Natural and Artificial Cognition, by Giovanni Pezzulo
Empirical evidence indicates that anticipatory representations grounded in the sensorimotor neural apparatus are crucially involved in several low and high level cognitive functions, including attention, motor control, planning, and goal-oriented behavior. A unitary theoretical framework is emerging that emphasizes how simulative capabilities enable social abilities, too, including joint attention, imitation, perspective taking and communication. We argue that anticipation will be a key […]

Anticipatory intelligence and AI
An article by James Kobielus, overly optimistic. Please add your own critical thinking. “AI is essentially a predictive technology. No matter what its algorithmic underpinnings, its core function is to make sophisticated inferences about what’s likely to happen based on myriad variables that have been distilled both from historical and real-time data. When it’s embedded […]

The Future is Not an Object: Crealectics as an Exploration of Anticipation and Anticipatory Systems
We tend to see the future as caused by the past. But biology for example shows us that causes can be in the future. The growth of a child is in part the fulfilment of models. This is true organically and culturally. In my forthcoming book, Being and Neonness, a revised version of L’être et […]

Neo-Conservatism is a Postmodernism (and Thinkers Like Jordan Peterson Are Sad PoMos)
No matter what neo-conservatives would have you believe about universal archetypes and the perenity of human worlds, social reality is not a true universal, but a slowly built construct of convention. What is a city – a polis? It’s a world, a co-created environment, a network of realizations “knotted” together to define a territory that […]

Capitalism and Communism Have Merged: Don’t Take Freedom For Granted!
It may seem unexpected to suggest that freedom is a lost value. Are we not in a democracy? Are we not even, according to some conservatives, “too free” and not responsible enough? Perhaps we have been so in the second half of the twentieth century, but things have changed imperceptibly. We live in the era […]

“War is Justice” (on Heraclitus)
Note for the Process-Oriented Philosophy Seminar Session of 3 May 2018 We start with this Fragment from Heraclitus. “We must know that war is common to all and strife is justice, and that all things come into being through strife necessarily.” Heraclitus, Fragment B80 We are speaking of becoming as “coming into being”. Not […]

Universalia Sunt Crealia
Reism is the doctrine that only things exist (from the Latin res, “thing”). In translation studies, realia are particular elements that cannot be translated into another language. A reist theory of aesthetics would be the assumption that an artefact can never be transferred into an emotional understanding, but at best artistic objects would be strange […]
