Notes on Philosophy, part of the Knowledge collection.
- Attention: Where your attention goes, everything follows: design, consciousness, money, love.
- Design for the Worst Day: If it requires your best self to use, it's not designed for humans.
- Dualism.
- Existentialism: Existence precedes essence - freedom, authenticity, and meaning.
- For Humans: The design philosophy: Sensible defaults, human-readable, the 90% case.
- Hard Problem of Consciousness: You can explain everything the brain does and still not touch why any of it is felt.
- Idealism.
- Integrated Information Theory: Consciousness is not what a system does, but how tightly its information holds together.
- Materialism.
- Panpsychism: What if consciousness isn't something brains produce, but something reality is already made of?
- Phenomenology.
- Philosophy of Mind: How does the felt, thinking inner world relate to the matter that seems to produce it?
- Stoicism: *Abstract.
- Strange Loops: The thing that creates itself by referring to itself. All the way down. All the way up.
- Virtue Inversion: The algorithm didn't destroy virtue. It flipped it like a coin and showed us the other side.
