Knowledge Wants to be Free: From Hayek to the Hacker

My talk “Knowledge Wants to be Free: From Hayek to the Hacker” for the 2010 Wirth Conference at Simon Fraser University October 15 & 16, 2010 on “Austrian Views on Experts & Epistemic Monopolies.”  I think the talk went down OK. Good to see some old friends and make new friends. Thanks to Wirth for sponsoring the…

Extended Mind Down Under

Here is a discussion between two of the major players in the extended mind literature – John Sutton and Richard Menary. “Some philosophers are now arguing that thoughts are not all in the head” – it’s been at least 12 years! But the idea is now spreading like wildfire.

My chum Mirko Farina has alerted me to a high-powered collection he and co-author Julian Kiverstein are contributing to. Here is the table of contents. One of the intriguing chapter titles is by Andy Clark. (Mirko tells me the volume has been severely delayed). I’m also looking forward to Mirko’s review of another contributor to this…

James Bond and the Barking Dog: Evolution and Extended Cognition

Larry Shapiro has a new paper posted on his website. Prominent defenders of the extended cognition thesis have looked to evolutionary theory for support. Roughly, the idea is that natural selection leads one to expect that cognitive strategies should exploit the environment, and exploitation of the right sort results in a cognitive system that extends beyond the head…
