...the hierarchy of praxis that Ricoeur presents are (1) practices, (2) life plans and (3) narrative unity of life.

--- Wessel Reijers, Mark Coeckelbergh. Narrative and Technology Ethics.


So far, the AI community, esp. its business leaders, has failed to address these three essential narratives of praxis for people outside of the community itself. If you are a truck driver, there's nothing for you in the AI-powered future. By contrast, the web, the iPhone and even social networks accomplished the task very well.

“...posted a much higher rate of tickets per transaction compared with typical movies, meaning more people are seeing it in big groups, The Box Office Company said.

Similar to the way in which Bergson contrasts time and duration, intellect and intuition, Péguy differentiates between history and tradition, science and experience. To illustrate this difference, for example, in Clio history is compared to a long railway line that runs along the coast and that allows one to stop at any station one wishes. In this metaphor tradition—collective memory—appears as the coast, with its marshes, people, fishes, estuaries of rivers and streams, as life on land and life in the sea.

In contrast with schoolbook history that treats its subject as tourism, he thinks about it as travel, similar to the original approach introduced by Herodotus more than two thousand years ago.

Also see Lawvere, Categories of Space and Quantity, 1992, wrt the example of a sojourn, as a variable intensive quantity. Peguy's history vs a schoolbook one would have a completely different intensive quantity pattern, while the terminal object in the underlying extensive category, i.e. the total would be the same.
