Great work!!! Some of your concepts is the foundation of a paper I wrote on anthropomorphism in robotics. Reminds me of a time I gave 4 different groups of undergrad engineering students the task of assembling a prefabricated robot and all, but one group gave it eyes and a smile!! Amazing if you ask me.
The "way bees make their honeycombs" is, in part, determined by some fairly rigid mathematics (i.e as the maths is derived from, and represents, the physics of honeycomb construction).I remember reading in one of J. Brownoski's popular science books that the hexagonal structure is the most adaptive, in the sense of most energy-efficient and robust.
The thing with the honeycombs is, that the Bees do not think when building them, using a sort of consciousnes or so. The very Reason they build the honeycombs as they do is (oversimplyfied) nature. It is not comparable to human structures, which, to a certain degree also require the traits, that humans gathered "naturally", but the biggest influence here is the human consciousness and creativity. Two traits with which we humans oppose nature as it is. Because those traits, are what enable us to build our concepts as described by nietzsche, aswell as structures like a cathedral. Ironical, how humans gathered such "tools" naturally by evolution, whilst we use them to build our own, nature opposing world.
Hey Dr. Sadler, watching your videos on Nietzsche have made me wonder about your thoughts on Gilles Deleuze, if you have any. Sorry if you've addressed this elsewhere.
6:53 "The regulatory way" Concession into structures which undergird our social matrix. Contingent as much as arbitrary, but that which in its anthropomorphic extant provides truth.

Hahaha! That's an interesting example!

That's all interesting. I think Nietzsche is - in a piece centered on metaphor - using a metaphor here

Haven't yet
Well, I hope to hear your thoughts on his work sometime in the future.

Fascinating work.
Thanks!
