—” …. ‘neural predictions are the basic unit of thought, encoding not just perception but also motivation, reward, and even movement’ … I saved this from somewhere, if someone wants to explain it to me i’d be very pleased”— Rival Voices @nosilverv THE CORRECT ANSWER Predictions (sequences) occur at every level of the neural micro, macro, region, hierarchy Predictions include spatial relations Combined into objects, spaces, and boundaries Detecting novelties...
—“Curt what are your thoughts on Gödel’s ontological proof?”—ArguingFanatic @ArguingFanatic (a) It’s not Godel’s it’s just his most recent restatement. (b) A proof is a test of internal consistency of its axioms not external correspondence or operational possibility. (c) Proofs test axioms and words. Theories test premises and actions. (d) Actions are informationally more complete than words. (e) Logic falsifies not justifies (f) And we must falsify BOTH words (consistency) and actions (operational possibility and resulting correspondence)...
1.Western civilization is based not on harmony but on ADVERSARIALISM. Adversarialism allows boys and men to constantly adapt and innovate and discover their value in a hierarchy on a team. Women removed adversarialism for girls, and the state for ‘minorities’. That’s the problem. 2.”Everyone gets a prize” is a symptom of the gradual eradication of the western group evolutionary strategy of maximizing training in adaptation and innovation, thereby directing male aggression to the production of commons by externality....
Net: Construction of edge cases may be the only general rule (abstract) for the demonstration of the edge case. Godel is more important in that he is one of multiple thinkers that falsified the analytic project, and the promise of making philosophy into a science. The subject deserves a long treatment, but the underlying issue is the limits of set logic vs operational logic. Praxiology is NOT axiomatic(deductive and justificationary) but operational(Constructive and falsificationary) – Mises and Rothbard were punching above their weight....
@DanielSchmacht1 & I discussed the challenges involved in making sense of the human experience. Daniel’s central interest is civilization design, in service to coordinated conscious sustainable evolution. –Tim Freke @TimFreke Making sense … is that a Platonic? Let’s ask differently. We can model the world accurately or not. When we model the world inaccurately, then what is our motive for doing so? Can we change our motive instead? Isn’t ‘sensemaking’ then an attempt at fiction?...
Dreams: the cortex never stops. Our brain’s more expensive in each state of excitement.When we are wakeful our experience provides input to model-building, prediction, and auto-association. Without external stimuli, hippocampal memory rehearsal (storage) creates auto association. Long term memory is produced by rehearsal within ~24hrs of the experience. This is why trauma drugs work if taken immediately after the event. During wakefulness we aren’t aware of the ‘distributor’ behavior of the thalamus....
–“Since those wolves became dogs more than 15,000 years ago, no new wolf DNA has entered dog genomes. Humans crossbred dogs and wolves, but none of the wolf DNA survived in dogs at large. Modern wolves, however, do show the incorporation of some dog DNA.”—Reich —“pigs were brought to Europe by farmers from Anatolia. But the genes of those first domesticated pigs have been completely lost, replaced by the genes of wild European boars, even though the pigs stayed domesticated animals....
—“How do these people not understand they—the ones calling for censorship, destruction of history, and mass murder—are the bad guys, and we—the ones who just want to be left alone to live our lives in peace—are the good guys?”—@DrewBaye We prevent hyperconsumption. Female non-conflict, larger numbers, greater equality, greater consumption, least adaptation, least maturity, least responsibility. Because their group strategy is herd (dysgenia) and european civilization is in the long term business of producing agency (eugenics)....
Given Self-Determination by Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Adversarialism, that maximizes the rate of adaptability with maximum prosperity. A Universally Commensurable, Value-Neutral, Formal Logic (Science) of Natural Law (language, psychology, sociology, law, politics, group strategy, aesthetics) A Universal, Constitutional Framework, for Optimum Government, and a body of law within it, providing the completion of the European, Aristotelian, Constitutional Project The formal codification of the Group Evolutionary Strategy of the European People, and an explanation for their disproportionate success....
For a female psyche, what sources would you recommend to learn—-in what order? For women the primary difficulties are (a) it has to be useful to you to maintain motivation. The explanatory power is empowering because it makes psychology very simple process of ‘what are you trying to get?” (b) Women have to overcome the true/not vs approval/not problem. So you have to add a step of self-reflection and analysis....
