I do not think we are very good at stepping back, taking a breath and looking at the long term implications of things carefully. We are just short term bumbling into the next cool thing. I bet that is what we are going to do with AI. There should be way more interaction between scientific insights about the world and philosophical insights about theworld. Here's a place where there's a lot of low hanging fruit as far as current contemporary philosophy goes.
Welcome to the April 2023 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
