Philosophy matters
That feeling when you realize that Aristotle shaped our thinking in subtle ways that are extremely hard to disentangle.
The implicit is the enemy of understanding, before defeating it, one must make it explicit.

The Ultimate Hammer: Why Programmers Can't See Beyond Computation. A Dialogue.
We assume intelligence is computable not because we’ve proven it, but because we’ve lost the ability to conceptualize it any other way. We are no longer using computation to model reality; we are forcing reality to fit the model. * Alex: Senior engineer at a leading AI lab, 15
The End of the Machine Metaphor: A New Framework for Intelligence and Living Organisms
A Journey Through the Paradoxes of Reductionism and the Promise of Geneosophy The Pattern Behind the Paradoxes Modern knowledge has achieved extraordinary success. We've mapped the genome, simulated quantum systems, built artificial intelligence that mimics human conversation, and created technologies that transform civilization. Yet beneath this triumph lies
Computation's Limits: What a Neuron Teaches Us
When we try to formalize a neuron computationally, we don't translate biology into code—we perform a violent collapse. We lock causation into fixed arrows when biology lives in causal ambiguity. We synchronize incommensurate timescales onto a global clock when neurons operate in genuine temporal incoherence. We close
Computation is not the Right Framework to Comprehend the Concepts of Intelligence and Life
We live in a computational age. When we want to formalize our thoughts—to express ideas precisely, to build models of intelligence, to create systems that reason—we almost instinctively reach for computation. The Church-Turing thesis tells us that any "effectively computable" function can be computed by a
