I think that makes sense as a philosophical thought, but do you think it's testable to actually tell us anything about the human condition?
E.g., If motor movement and causal inference are coupled, would you expect a baby born with locked in syndrome to have a limited notion of self?
- mjburgess 2y agoProbably one of the most important muscles is in the eye. If all the muscles of the body are paralysed from birth, yes, no concepts would develop. This is not only testable, but central to neuroscience, and i'd claim, to any actual science of intelligence -- rather the self-aggrandising csci mumbojumbo. On the testing side, you can lesion various parts of the sensory-motor system of mice, run them in various maze-solving experiments under various conditions (etc.) and observe their lack of ability to adapt to novel environments.
