0denseI'm supposed to be writing about this paper, not blogging about writing about it, but may I direct everyone's attention to The Extended Mind by Andy Clark & David Chalmers1, one of the absolutely most entertaining defenses of extelligence out there
Stewart and Cohen talked about cultural capitol in terms of extrapersonally situated but individually empowering resources, Clark and Chalmers are going on about active externalism with regards to epistemic credit; look, if we allow for a certain blending of these positions, then it generally follows that the internet is our hive-mind, according to epistemic function and allowing for accessibility!!
which is the most hilarious thing to consider seriously, I love it!!!!
