I’ve even had to questioning my questioning and uncertainty and skepticism. That was one of the hardest things to work on. That’s been my current phase.
That’s where the ‘label making’ is coming into play for me. For example, one of the first things I successfully identified is “Embodied Cognition” vs brains-in-vats or strict computational models of the brain.
It was the FIRST TIME in forever I could sit back and go, I BELIEVE THIS. THIS FITS.
Years of skepticism, uncertainty and questioning can take their toll and I had to be force myself to be skeptical of my skepticism, question my questioning and become certain about my uncertainties by allowing myself some certainties beyond uncertainty itself.
It’s been an interesting unravelling process. Yet, not entirely deconstructionalist either. I’m trying to avoid extremes… which I’m sure stems from somewhere too.
