Abstract

I expand Stibbard-Hawkes' exploration of symbolism and cognition to suggest that we also ought to reconsider the strength of connections between cognition and technological complexity. Using early weaponry as a case study I suggest that complexity may be "hidden" in early tools, and further highlight that assessments of technologies as linear and progressive have roots in Western colonial thought.

不仅仅是象征意义:技术也可能与认知有不太直接的联系。
我扩展了斯蒂巴德-霍克斯对象征主义和认知的探索,建议我们也应该重新考虑认知和技术复杂性之间联系的强度。以早期武器为例,我认为复杂性可能“隐藏”在早期工具中,并进一步强调对线性和进步技术的评估根植于西方殖民思想。

期刊介绍: Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS) is a highly respected journal that employs an innovative approach called Open Peer Commentary. This format allows for the publication of noteworthy and contentious research from various fields including psychology, neuroscience, behavioral biology, and cognitive science. Each article is accompanied by 20-40 commentaries from experts across these disciplines, as well as a response from the author themselves. This unique setup creates a captivating forum for the exchange of ideas, critical analysis, and the integration of research within the behavioral and brain sciences, spanning topics from molecular neurobiology and artificial intelligence to the philosophy of the mind.
