Bad reading of Plato...the cave contains both firelight and sunlight. And Plato brings out the issue of calling first; the 'epistemological drive' towards 'thaumazein being' which is already the 'knight of faith'. This guy is a bit loony.

Dreyfus remarks that the flaws in GOFAI can be traced to its founding upon a certain type of "loser" philosophy which depends on the viability of mental representation. I wonder if the same could be posited of modern psychology, that it was based upon an inherently flawed position in philosophy of mind?

Certainly, internet is a tool. And a powerful one. I live in Spain and I have been able to listen to this wonderful interview.

this is an excerpt from The Complet Idiot's Guide to Taoism (from google books) by toropov and hansen, p. 39.
"zhuangzi celebrates the notion of self-transcending skill. In his view, highly honed skills reach a stage where we lose ourselves in perfromance and "become on with" the world in which we act. during such activities, we seldom think about the rules we learned as acolytes. we feel ourselves "pulled" by the activity, not as someone making decisions or deliberating.
