This honestly explains a lot.

So when he says "modern" he means "anything after the invention of writing, when people immediately started recording what philosophers were saying?

@georgetakei He's making statements about his own mind, but he doesn't think he has _any_ introspection?

[nurglerider@mastodon.social]

@georgetakei This is just more of the "empathy is bad" crowd's absolute bullshit.

[nutriamix@mstdn.social]

@georgetakei

Oh, to be so dim, yet so obscenely wealthy. It’s clear he has nothing in common with the rest of society.

Thanks to Reagan , billionaires are a modern invention.

@georgetakei in a normal world, such self-absorbed ignorant parasites should be kicked out in a way or another, and not given the opportunity to make us endure their infatuation.

[agitatra@berlin.social]

@georgetakei Well, all is relative. The Homo Sapiens exists at least for half a million years. So, 2.500 years are fairly recently/modern.

Only way to sleep when you know you're responsible for all kinds of death and misery that didn't have to happen except for your own wanky dumbass lonely loser jollies. Pigass pig.

[gmsizemore@mastodon.social]

@georgetakei From a purely epistemological standpoint, he's probably right. Words that refer to mental states, for example, were once (i.e., etymologically) frank references to behavior. A certain segment of the population appears to have no "mental imagery" at all. They can report other "private events," though...

@georgetakei I am introspective enough to distrust introspection.

@georgetakei

Billionaires are all sociopaths. They may not have started out that way but they ALL become it in the end.

@StarkRG @georgetakei @jrdepriest “Meat golem” actually sounds kinda cool. I’m not sure I would disavow it if accused. Can I introspect and still be a meat golem?

[starkrg@myside-yourside.net]

@mkb @georgetakei @jrdepriest You're a meat *person* (as opposed to a vegetable person, a fungus person, or a mineral person).

@georgetakei FFS even the word "introspection" isn't modern. It dates back to the 17th century in English but derives from the ancient Latin "introspectus", meaning to look within. Why are these billionaires so willfully, proudly ignorant?

I'm starting to think some of them are philosophical zombies - in that they have no inner lives - which perhaps explains why they think chatbots might be people and other humans are expendable.
