#extendedcognition

✨ Last autumn, as part of the #ComplexityWeekend hackathon, I hosted a live panel discussion with four unique and fascinating minds. We discussed #archaeoacoustic #design as a form of #extendedcognition, the continuity between the #ancient and #postmodern worlds, #biomimicry, and many more interesting threads at the intersection of #complexsystems research and creative #innovation... 🔗 in bio or dig it up wherever you go for awesome conversations! 🖼️ Cover image by MG x #VQGANCLIP fed by a text prompt of this episode's title - check out this whole series of works at Hic Et Nunc or OBJKT 😘 #augmentedreality #psychedelicfuturism #archaeology #systemsdesign #sciencepodcast (at Santa Fe, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW_fCCrvnsw/?utm_medium=tumblr

I haven’t read this one yet, and I’m not sure I even fully understand this notion of “extended cognition” — it seems to be the idea that our consciousness is not limited to our physical bodies, and so our environmental, our tools, our community, etc. all impacts what we know, how we see, who we are. It sounds a bit Buddhist to me (I say that as a good thing), and perhaps can be a clue to why relationships and relationality are so important to Christ’s teachings. John O’Donohue said the soul is not “in the body” but the body is in the soul. That seems to a mystical and poetic way of suggesting that extended cognition is a thing. Not sure I can boil this down to an elevator pitch, but the more I think about what this book is trying to say, the more intriguing it becomes and the higher it moves up my “to read” list.
