Other philosophy communities have only interpreted the world in various ways. The point, however, is to change it. [ x ]

doesn't seem to make especial case for will transmission, but some interesting tidbits about some studies nevertheless

"... Moreover, intact linguistic abilities do not entail intact thinking abilities. Together, this evidence suggests that language is unlikely to be a critical substrate for any form of thought. "

LLMs BTFO and they arent even talking about AI

The quote from the neurobiologists at the end is really great too but its long so i wont copy it.

Really good read overall even if I dont really understand the math parts of it, sadly - also not sure about the whole will-transmission bit. Mostly in how its phrased in tenet 1 as opposed to how the neuroscience stuff vindicates "will-transmission". seems more like its vindicating language as purely communicative as opposed to "commands given to others" how its laid out in the tenet as stated. it feels like a jump.
