Oh. Gosh! Will somebody please explain the joke to me.
I get some of the joke. I mean the whole joke. n Nicholas Thompson Emeritus Professor of Ethology and Psychology Clark University <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] <https://wordpress.clarku.edu/nthompson/> https://wordpress.clarku.edu/nthompson/ From: Friam <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Steve Smith Sent: Thursday, June 4, 2020 6:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [FRIAM] the Snarking of the Bandersnatch Glen - You have taken good humored sarcasm (Snark*) to "the next level" (another modern idiom I am just coming to recognize) here. It feels like you've captured FriAM-at-large pretty well here... or at least the arc of our discussions-of-late. Not only the discussions, but to some extent the "nut" of some of them. Your spoof of an idea to ontologize the fruits of our discussions and the metaphorize them across domain-specific ontologies comes way too close to at least one holy grail of a project or two I've worked on (thus my references to a "Faceted Ontology". I'm not saying your snark is empty, nor that the holy grail I refer to was entirely unachievable, mostly just appreciating how well you nailed it here, and perhaps (en caricature?) captured some of what Nick has been wishing and hoping for... Carry On, - Steve Ha! And a boon would be we can transform it arbitrarily onto any other domain-specific ontology. So, whatever is written about, say, evolutionary biology could be mapped ... [cough] metaphored ... into a paper about, say, holography! If we can design a GAN to well-fit the maps, then whatever "theory" we end up with will provide us with the explanation of consciousness and solve the hard problem! Man this technology thing is cool. Whatever was I thinking. >8^D On 6/4/20 4:19 PM, Marcus Daniels wrote: I think there should be a XML-based ontology format to encode our important conversations as a formal system. And not mere CSS3, there should be a whole XSL pipeline to generate Nick’s book.
