Evan Thompson escape in Stratford Tower

When Evan runs away, if Markus doesn't order the Androids to move and just watches North and Josh we can see the opening scene where Evan runs away and the potential alarm goes off, where I think the blame can be put on Josh and also on North, Josh tries to grab him or something to get him into the room only to be fooled by the fake movement Evan makes, which catches him off guard and makes him push North too, which will set up that scenario where he gives the choice to Markus

I know it's a pointless argument to make, but I'm just making it for the fun of it lol, but I think Josh is mostly to blame for Evan running away and setting off the potential alarm, while North was mostly focused on the other guy, does she have a bit of blame because she could have backed off a bit more maybe? but I'd say Josh is more to blame, although North still has her share of blame in my opinion.

You need a brain, just as the bird needs wings, but the mind exists at a different level—the level of embodied being in the world.

Evan Thompson, in “The Embodied Mind”, an interview with philosopher Evan Thompson by Linda Heuman (Tricycle, FALL 2014) (via Alive on All Channels)

Scientific materialists will argue that the scientific method enables us to get outside of experience and grasp the world as it is in itself. As will be clear by now, we disagree; indeed, we believe that this way of thinking misrepresents the very method and practice of science. In general terms, here’s how the scientific method works. First, we set aside aspects of human experience on which we can’t always agree, such as how things look or taste or feel. Second, using mathematics and logic, we construct abstract, formal models that we treat as stable objects of public consensus. Third, we intervene in the course of events by isolating and controlling things that we can perceive and manipulate. Fourth, we use these abstract models and concrete interventions to calculate future events. Fifth, we check these predicted events against our perceptions. An essential ingredient of this whole process is technology: machines – our equipment – that standardise these procedures, amplify our powers of perception, and allow us to control phenomena to our own ends. The Blind Spot arises when we start to believe that this method gives us access to unvarnished reality. But experience is present at every step. Scientific models must be pulled out from observations, often mediated by our complex scientific equipment. They are idealisations, not actual things in the world. Galileo’s model of a frictionless plane, for example; the Bohr model of the atom with a small, dense nucleus with electrons circling around it in quantised orbits like planets around a sun; evolutionary models of isolated populations – all of these exist in the scientist’s mind, not in nature. They are abstract mental representations, not mind-independent entities. Their power comes from the fact that they’re useful for helping to make testable predictions. But these, too, never take us outside experience, for they require specific kinds of perceptions performed by highly trained observers. For these reasons, scientific ‘objectivity’ can’t stand outside experience; in this context, ‘objective’ simply means something that’s true to the observations agreed upon by a community of investigators using certain tools. Science is essentially a highly refined form of human experience, based on our capacities to observe, act and communicate.
