@Philip_Goff @donalddhoffman Because there has been criticism that his claim that "reality is an illusion" hinges on construing "verdicial representation" in an (at least philosophically) unorthodox and dubious way. See e.g. https://t.co/wtAeETWWLE
@krzysztofwos In all seriousness I think there are very good replies to these skeptical worries! Check out some recent work by @MarleneBerke (below). Jonathan Cohen also has a nice reply to Hoffman's ideas: https://t.co/3uLz3QXLv1. https://t.co/Vk2ieZCx
@distributedcog @smales_andrew I think Hoffman's argument is weak. He's not even talking about tracking *affordances*. For criticism, see this by Jonathan Cohen https://t.co/aVWEBTwzTB. I mean how could evolutionary processes fail to track real payoff sour
