Gregg and I discuss the higher order thought (HOT) theory of consciousness, and its connections to aspectualization and perspectival and participatory knowing.

The Cognitive Rat Pack back at it again!
Hahaha the reverse camera was very warming.
Thanks Gregg and John .
Why when we see a mathematical or physics problem usually we talk only about quantities, distance, volume, here and there? And then, when we discuss poems and narrative structure in books we usually see colors, feelings and descriptions… Maybe the adverbial qualia is for the mind 2 and the adjectival qualia for the mind 3?
To adopt a Vervaekian phrase; you two really "jazz" when you talk…
I always look forward to Fridays for what I know will be a great talk between you two!
I really like Greg's observation about how all of the most common words used in the English language are all related to aspectualization and framing ideas. Humans approach language and participatory learning similarly to how we formulate ideas and aspectualize cognitively. It's almost like a fractal/exponential move from the procedural and perspectival frames into the participatory frame. Good stuff!

Came here right after rewatching Bernardo Kastrup’s PHD thesis for Idealism and this talk coupled with Karl Friston and the Markov blanket all seems to point in the same direction somehow problem is putting it into words xD
Great talk!
