Episode 144: Memes, Words, and Concepts

JUL 28, 202627 MIN

Description

This week we talk about meaning memes, words, concepts, and conceptual leakage. How is a meaning meme turned into a broader concept and then a theory? What is the role of language in this process? And what is conceptual leakage? And why does it make it difficult to communicate to others? And was Popper right to eschew questions of meaning? And what does this have to do with AGI? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support us on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
