This is wrong by definition, is the thing. That's what foundational means: to found something is to establish its foundation.
Dennett was simply not a significant part of that. The timeline isn't the reason for that, but it in fact suffices to make the case.
- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoI don't really agree on this distinction between foundational and established. But we can just agree to disagree on that.
- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoIt wasn't actually my claim that Dennett had much influence on hacker culture. I was originally disputing the idea that Dennett became well known after 1992.
