It is going to be of rising importance. @cootsona is rightly heralding the rising importance of technology. Embodied cognition is becoming extremely important in AI, which brings us to the mirror of origins: trans-humanism.
Of course, as Christians, we know one of the most important answers to give is at the center of our faith. Jesus is what it means to be human in the best ways possible and imaginable. This call to the incarnation, to be in the word, seems to have strong connections to embodied cognition. We might call it incarnational cognition, well not yet.
There seems to be a real opportunity to explore soon with @Philosurfer, @CPArand, and @joel.oesch very soon in their office hours. @joel.oesch focuses on trans-humanism in his work. I’m curious how he thinks about embodied cognition.
