John Vervaeke explores the intricacies of predictive processing and relevance realization within cognitive frameworks. His dialogue unpacks complex concepts like the frame problem, the relevance problem, and how these theories intertwine within the larger quest for artificial general intelligence. Vervaeke debates the nature of intelligence, discusses the importance of managing the overwhelming influx of information, and the trade-offs between general and specialized problem-solving. John provides detailed explanations of how these cognitive processes are foundational to our interaction with the world and links them to broader philosophical notions of meaning and connectedness.
