This is in response to some confusion about how Discourse works and some mistaken ideas about my role in it which you posted under the topic “How organisms function form view of Ashby, Maturana, Powers, physiology and neurophysiology”. I will respond to the accusations and innuendo here, continuing this topic. I will respond at that location to what you say about how organisms function etc. I think the only thing of substance there is a re-posting of the link the Cybernetic Society youtube video, but I will double check.
In general, the Discourse category for a post is determined by the subject matter of that post. If a new post changes the subject, it belongs in a topic and category devoted to that subject.
Boris, I don’t ‘publish’ your answers, Discourse does. It’s an automatic software process.
All of your posts that you have sent to me in this way are present in Discourse. When you post them to Discourse, Discourse sends them to me and to everyone else who receives such email. They are all visible to anyone who goes to Discourse.
For example, you posted this:
That post is on Discourse in the post that is specified by this link (post number 27 in the topic "You say you want a revolution).
You will also be able to scroll up from there to see all of the prior discussion under the topic “You say you want a revolution”. Nothing has been omitted or ‘filtered’.
If you think that something that you emailed to me is missing from Discourse please identify it by subject line and date. I am not aware of getting any private email from you, our conversations have all been mediated by Discourse.
You have perhaps forgotten that a few days ago I said
The reason I said that is not because I am ‘triggered’ (a stimulus-response notion). It is because it’s been maybe 20 years since I’ve read anything by Maturana or Varela, and I wanted to refresh my memory. That’s why I put a summary of what I reviewed in a separate topic about autopoiesis. I put it in the Fundamentals category, so that others could correct it where I am wrong, and so that it would be there as a baseline to refer to. You replied that it was “misleading”. I have asked you to provide specific corrections.
With that baseline in place, I will resume our conversation referring to the Youtube recording of your presentation to the (UK) Cybernetics Society. That conversation does not belong in the topic “You say you want a revolution” under Learning PCT > Interdisciplinary Opportunities. I will reply to your post “How organisms function from view of Ashby, Maturana, Powers, physiology and neurophysiology”, ignoring all the personal accusations.
