  • Intuition Is Understood, Sorry. Its Not Complicated

    —“Any thoughts on empiricism ever incorporating intuition into its epistemology? It is, though not yet understood, a sensory experience.”—Jarrod Marma

    I don’t make errors. Operational simplification: Sensation(nerves), perception(cortex), integration (entorhinal cortex), experience(hippocampal region), auto-association( hippocampal subregion), attention (thalamus), projection(frontal cortex), retention (prefrontal cortex), recursion (repeat). intuition = auto association (involuntary), free association(voluntary focus of attention) If you read testimonialism you will find that I’ve repeated it for years now. sense(stimulation), perception (disambiguation), auto-association, free association, hypothesis(reason), theory(empiricism), law(survival), recursion(partial falsification). The brain (you) consists of a nervous system consisting almost entirely of variations on one cell type (neuron) of different compositions for different functions, the most numerous variation of which is (surprisingly) inhibition of information, the most influential of which are one type which calculate information. We cannot make computers do the same thing at the same cost because in exchange for perfect memory, computers use fixed wiring and dynamic routing, where your brain uses both dynamic wiring and with it dynamic routing. So we have vast adaptability, and storage in exchange for recreation of memories through associations, whereas computers have precise recollection, l limited adaptability, and require far more physical storage because they have to store all the underlying sensory data. Current computer neural networks learn and no longer need to retain the sensory data they were trained with but they cannot be adapted to additional functions without training and re-structuring (yet). There are very good at single things so the future will likely consist of many basic functions performed by artificial neural networks, combined by a ‘grammar’ into a hierarchy of neural networks. our ‘grammar’ is spatial – because we must act. That does not mean computers will need a spatial grammar as well, because we might design it to act by different means – but I can’t conceive yet of an alternative other than property transactions, which are then handed off too another AI to act upon.

  • The Reason for Truthful Public Speech Is Economics of Lying, and The Enemy’s Industrialization of It

    —“A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes”—

    A lot of people on the right have a hard time letting go of classical liberalism and its tolerance for lying and parasitism. It’s already illegal for me to lie in the marketing of my business. Why shouldn’t politicians and public figures be held to the same standard???

  • Belief and Profession of It, Are Almost Always Lies

    Nov 1, 2019, 12:58 PM I do not know what you believe. I cannot know. I can only determine judge you by your actions. If you testify to an un-testifiable belief, then you can only lie. If you lie then you have a reason to lie. I can only seek to discover the reason you lie. I cannot distinguish a profession of belief in an un-testifiable lie, from any other lie. Belief is irrelevant. Either you imitate thew works of jesus or you are just another liar, fraud, and thief. Keep a diary of the actions you make in the service of others for no other reason than the love of others, and the cost to you for having done so. If it is not an action, is not in the services of others, is not in the service of other by your personal service to them, then you are a liar and a liar, fraud, and thief, and your claims of Christianity are no different from wearing the uniform of those who did service, when you have not done so, a pretending to equal their honor. No. You are just a free-rider. A parasite on other’s labors. A free rider on those few christians who exist, just as a free rider on those few warriors that exist. A christian ACTS. Profession of belief, and belief are irrelevant.

  • All Grammars Perform the Same Function

    Nov 1, 2019, 2:41 PM

    –“Logic is a type of math.”–

    Not quite true. all grammars perform the same function, providing a scope(dimensions) of permissible vocabulary, a set of comparison operators; and a grammar and syntax of continuous recursive disambiguation, all of which rely upon identity, similarity, and differences in constant relations, the simplest we know of which is arithmetic (positional names), and the next simplest of which are the first order logics, but all such grammars are simply variations on the human language facility: the use of a grammar, operators (vocabulary), and references(vocabulary) to produce transactions we call meaning.
