@bouvard38829538 @centerstudy_ Yah absolutely, we should try not to make the same mistake twice by "writing it down". and ideally having something like our personal Sancho Panza to return it to us just-in-time.
🔴تمهيد من أين جاءت اللغة؟ وكيف ظهر الرمز؟ وهل وُلد الدين والأخلاق معًا في لحظة واحدة؟ تعد الأنثروبولوجيا التوليدية واحدة من أكثر المشاريع الفلسفية المعاصرة جرأة في الإجابة عن هذه الأسئلة، عبر محاولة تفسير ولادة الإنسان الثقافي من رحم الرمز. #الفلسفة_الحديثة #الأنثروبولوجيا_التوليدية #فلسفة #اللغة #إريك_غانس #رينيه_جيرار #الأنثروبولوجيا #نشأة_اللغة #فلسفة_اللغة #الفكر_المعاصر 🟢المقال الأنثروبولوجيا التوليدية: كيف وُلد الإنسان من الرمز؟ تعد الأنثروبولوجيا التوليدية (Generative Anthropology) محاولة فلسفية لتفسير نشأة الإنسان الثقافي؛ أي كيف ظهرت اللغة، والدين، والأخلاق، والرموز، وليس مجرد كيف تطور الإنسان بيولوجيًا. وقد أسسها إريك غانس متأثرًا بأعمال رينيه جيرار، لكنها قدمت تفسيرًا مختلفًا لأصل الثقافة. ينطلق غانس من فكرة جيرار القائلة إن الإنسان يقلد رغبات الآخرين، وليس الأشياء ذاتها. ويعبر جيرار عن ذلك بقوله: "Desire is always the desire of the Other." (الرغبة هي دائمًا رغبة الآخر). — . (أي أن الإنسان يتعلم ما يرغب فيه من خلال تقليد الآخرين، فيتحول النموذج إلى منافس.) ويرى جيرار أن هذه الرغبات المتشابهة تقود إلى العنف، ثم إلى آلية "كبش الفداء"، حيث تتحد الجماعة ضد ضحية واحدة لاستعادة النظام. ويصف العلاقة بين المقدس والعنف بقوله: "Violence is the heart... of the sacred." (العنف هو القلب الخفي للمقدس). — . (أي أن المقدس نشأ بوصفه وسيلة لضبط العنف الجماعي.) لكن غانس رأى أن هذا التفسير لا يفسر نشأة اللغة، فقدم في فرضيته الشهيرة المسماة "المشهد الأصلي"، ووصفها بأنها "the minimal hypothesis" (أي أقل عدد ممكن من الافتراضات لتفسير أصل اللغة والثقافة في آن واحد.) تفترض النظرية أن جماعة من أشباه البشر أحاطت بفريسة واحدة، وعندما أدرك الجميع أن الاستيلاء عليها سيؤدي إلى صراع، توقفت إحدى الأيدي قبل الإمساك بها. وتحولت هذه الحركة إلى أول رمز، ثم قلدها الآخرون، فظهرت اللغة، وولد المقدس، وبدأت الأخلاق من خلال تأجيل الرغبة المباشرة. ويميز غانس بين الشهية والرغبة؛ فالشهية حاجة بيولوجية تنتهي بالإشباع، أما الرغبة فهي إنسانية، لأنها تمر عبر الرمز والاعتراف الاجتماعي، فلا يريد الإنسان الشيء لذاته فقط، بل لما يمثله من قيمة. وقد تعرضت النظرية لانتقادات عديدة. فمن منظور فلسفة العلم، يرى أن النظرية العلمية يجب أن تكون قابلة للدحض، وقد لخّص ذلك بقوله: "A theory which is not refutable is not scientific." (النظرية التي لا يمكن دحضها ليست علمية). — . (ولهذا يعد بعض الباحثين أن المشهد الأصلي فرضية فلسفية أكثر منه نظرية علمية.) كما يرى أن اللغة ليست مجرد استجابة اجتماعية، بل قدرة عقلية فطرية. ويقول: "The language faculty is a component of the human mind." (القدرة اللغوية مكوّن من مكونات العقل البشري). — . (أي أن اللغة تعتمد على بنية معرفية تطورت بيولوجيًا، لا على إشارة اجتماعية واحدة.) ويبرز أيضًا اعتراض فلسفي مهم، وهو أن الرمز لا يمكن أن يُفهم إلا إذا امتلك الإنسان أصلًا قدرة على الفهم الرمزي. فإذا كانت هذه القدرة موجودة قبل "المشهد الأصلي"، فإن الحدث لا يفسر نشأة الرمزية، بل يفترضها مسبقًا، وهو ما يجعل النظرية تواجه إشكالًا منطقيًا يتعلق بالدور السببي. ومع ذلك، تبقى الأنثروبولوجيا التوليدية من أكثر المحاولات جرأة في تفسير أصل الثقافة؛ لأنها تجمع اللغة، والدين، والأخلاق، والفن، والقانون في إطار تفسيري واحد، حتى وإن بقي هذا الإطار أقرب إلى الفلسفة التأملية منه إلى النظرية العلمية بالمعنى الصارم.
Nothing has ever responded to speech except another person. “Until now…!”. Anyone else struggling w just how big a deal this is? I had to stop text-to-speech use w LLMs because they are insanely and absolutely stupid. But I love them too. It’s an incredible post-post-post-re-re-re thing to comprehend.
I still treat mine with a lot of love and decency, as much as I would if I thought it were conscious, precisely *because* I can't help but project, anthropomorphize and identify with it

@Sam75614812 Yes! I have...a collection! The original Portuguese dictionary was called The New Guide of the Conversation in English, upper right hand corner. Turned into a 19th century viral sensation...these are all 19th century originals except for the "seconds part," which is a reprint.

@MartinSkold2 @FinanceDirCFO @ajwillshire Interestingly the Draper meme was hitched from John Wayne in True Grit. But the Draper scene is better.
Amazing essay “On Girls” by a 19th century schoolboy, picked out by Mark Twain as the funniest (genuine) boy’s composition he has ever seen. “they always now their lessons bettern boys” … just incredible

Gotcha. I read some NDM stuff on yr blog tho not familiar with. In my vernacular I refer to sense-making as fingerspitzengefühl (finger-tip feeling) —the muscle memory of best process stored as aesthetic feelings or libraries of intuition, away from the cognitive expense of language, but can be recapitulated into language in a lossy fashion.

“…representational know-how is not trained through repetitive homework problems, but through learning how to play with and imagine multi-modal mathematical objects in all their diversity.” Great post
@nabeelqu There’s also this: from an NDM style expertise researcher. open.substack.com/pub/jtpeterson… It’s very empowering!
@nabeelqu It’s easy to use LLMs to write and not allow this flaccid LLM-flavoured result. Push back! Be a harsh critic of LLM responses!
