Why?, Goff

- book philosophy
- Kinda hate-reading this one. Has a bad case of philosopher's disease.
- Comparing it with Telling the American Story, a naturalized approach to purpose and meaning – it observes how people use, construct, orient towards meanings. Real everyday meanings, not cosmic purposes.
- Fine-tuning argument, anthropic multiverse arguments (he doesn't buy them). Almost all the probablistic reasoning here is bogus.
- Authors purpose, my purpose. He's a philosopher, his job is to generate this kind of stuff, he gets paid to do it. What's my excuse?
- The Fall of Philosophy - by William Sanchez Goff is Tempelton-funded
- The Picturing Relation: Wilfrid Sellars, Agentic AI, and Engineers as a Labor Class -- Evan Garris deep, interesting, but about 5 times too long for me to absorb in present limited state
