"Know Thyself" from The Philosophy Cafe on Discord (2026/03/15)

Question of the Week (03/15/26)

...

The maxim "know thyself" was said to have been inscribed upon the Temple of Apollo at Delphi in ancient Greece. Do we have an obligation to know ourselves? How should we think about our selves as something (someone?) to be known? Are we fully transparent to ourselves? What does the relevant self-knowledge look like? Is this an appropriate aim for philosophy, or is it rather the province of psychology?

Computing and the Linguistic Turn

Enigma (Wikipedia) Symbolic analysis and statistical analysis were both approaches codebreakers took in breaking Enigma. The development of AI has also incorporated both approaches. One historical question for AI is why the dominance of Symbolic AI from 1950 to 1990? Note the development of AI out of the Dartmouth Workshop and especially the contributions of one of its attendees,  Ray Solomonoff , to the statistical approach, an approach taken up by Marcus Hutter , a DeepMind  researcher. Note too that along with the difference between the symbolic and the statistical is the difference between language learning and computer vision. The turn Richard Sutton takes is to push learning outside the context of language, which is to push computing beyond its linguistic turn.

A Heidegger - Bayes Hybrid Model

By

A Conjecture for a Hybrid Model Bayesian epistemology concerns modelling and specifically, belief, but a Bayesian belief does not need to be fully formed to emerge alongside the Heideggerian to-hand. The Heideggerian to-hand thereby becomes the interaction that generates this further, which is, with this interaction, a certain realization of being in the world. Bayesian selection now concerns available beliefs as well as any to-hand [belief(s)].
