yes a loss of a great person and intellectual. Though in the loss is the possibility of progress. if you consider the above "atheist-darwinist" url representing a certain paradigm in which Dennett has been cast as a central figure. Planck's Principle on paradigms and funerals: An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: it rarely happens that Saul becomes Paul <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_Paul_the_Apostle>. What does happen is that its opponents gradually die out, and that the growing generation is familiarized with the ideas from the beginning: another instance of the fact that the future lies with the youth. — Max Planck, Scientific autobiography, 1950, p. 33, 97 Colloquially, this is often paraphrased as "Science progresses one funeral at a time" _________________________________________________________________ Stephen Guerin CEO, Founder https://simtable.com stephen.gue...@simtable.com stephengue...@fas.harvard.edu Harvard Visualization Research and Teaching Lab <https://hwpi.harvard.edu/eps-visualization-research-laboratory/home> mobile: (505)577-5828 On Fri, Apr 19, 2024 at 1:03 PM Jochen Fromm <j...@cas-group.net> wrote: > Such a loss :-( > > https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2024/04/19/daniel-dennett-philosopher-atheist-darwinist/ > > I will put his autobiography "I’ve Been Thinking" from last year on my > reading list > > https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/oct/01/ive-been-thinking-by-daniel-c-dennett-review-an-engaging-vexing-memoir-with-a-humility-bypass > > -J. > > > -------- Original message -------- > From: Jochen Fromm <j...@cas-group.net> > Date: 4/19/24 7:32 PM (GMT+01:00) > To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group <friam@redfish.com> > > Subject: [FRIAM] Daniel Dennett (1942-2024) > > A sad day today.
