This quote from Jon is also a beautiful metaphor from category theory. In one
post he says we can view "intersubjectivity as a colimit of subjectivity, and
objectivity as a limit of interobjectivity".I guess in plain English this means
intersubjectivity is achieved by adding distinct personal voices together (the
colimit), while objectivity and objective truth is distilled by filtering out
personal variation (the limit).The most abtract mathematical terms to describe
the most subjective things. Fascinating.-J.

<[email protected]> Subject: [FRIAM] The memory of lost opportunities I am
still analyzing the FRIAM archives using ChatGPT to improve the first chapter
and found this beautiful quote from Glen about free will:"the memory of lost
opportunities is what we call free will".And this quote from Nick:"I think one
of the hardest things about having been an academic is that while we are paid
to have ideas, nobody else is paid to respond to them. And so, academic writing
is like dropping coins down an infinitely deep wishing well and listening for
any evidence at all that the coin ever dropped".If academic writing is "like
dropping coins down an infinitely deep wishing well and listening for any
evidence at all that the coin ever dropped" I am quite good at it too. I mean
in dropping coins down an infinitely deep wishing well.-J..- .-.. .-.. / ..-.
