A talk with Daniel Dennett on Extended Cognition and more



La filosofia tiene svegli

#DanielDennett #ExtendedCognition #Philosophicaltalk

Subtitles available in english. I’m thankful for this opportunity to talk with Professor Dennett. I’m a bit sorry for the viewers of the video, this was conceived more like a personal conversation rather than an interview for the public. I am sorry if I was a little confused but there was a lot to say and it was not easy.

  1. This is awesome. I asked Noam Chomsky what he thinks about situated cognition and extended cognition in particular. His response was very similar to Dennett's: why bother drawing lines around these things and arguing where the lines should go. People consciously and unconsciously use various tools to enhance their cognition, from note books to vast simulations. Worrying about categorizing these things and the actions that employ them as opposed to just investigating and understanding the mechanisms seems a lot of talk for no effect.

  2. My untrained take on this: Some version of extended mind takes place when we shift from everyday, intuitive activity to moments of exertion, danger, or other forms of focus. Our mind sees and hears both the body, the specific parts for accomplishing an arduous or harrowing task, and more sharply sees the parts of our environment that our bodies needs to negotiate. It also gets fast input, at times, from memory, learning, hearsay (for better or worse), recent advice, etc., that may ease the task or even save a life. An example might be a family traversing a mountain pass on the first trek out of Africa 70K year ago. An eroding section of ledge might require unimaginable concentration. Another is old age, where routine tasks become more challenging. Both of those and many others require more focus and awareness, both internal and external. These ideas also go to theories of consciousness in general, how they evolved in early humankind.
