Q: “The End of History”
Jan 26, 2020, 8:53 AM Q: “THE END OF HISTORY”
—“What is meant, or what do you mean when you say ‘The end of history’?”—Nicholas Arthur Catton
The End of History: SPECIFIC The end of history is a political and philosophical concept put forth by Francis Fukuyama that proposes that a particular political, economic, or social system may develop that would constitute the end-point of humanity’s sociocultural evolution and the final form of human government (and that social democracy was that order). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_of_history GENERAL That any given scientific question can be as complete as is chemistry (where chemistry is the most complete of the sciences). RELATING TO P My suspicion is that people will improve on P for a century at which point it will approach chemistry in completeness.

Agency Is a Demonstration of Successful Will to Power
Jan 27, 2020, 6:07 AM
—“I struggle with Agency… Someone who goes to the gym regularly because they want to be buff and ripped would be said to be exercising agency. An alignment of desire and rational action / persistence. However, is a gambler exercising agency when they gamble on the daily? Or is agency simply contentiousness bearing fruit against a declared aim?”– Gary Knight
In simple terms:
—“contentiousness bearing fruit against a declared aim?”–
Yes. Although, in most cases, gambling regularly is a form of self medication, it is true that people win, and you can’t play if you don’t win. And it’s simply an expensive means of entertainment. And whether entertainment or medication can lead to addiction, which is the very opposite of agency. Agency is the sum total of that which leads you to independent action in fulfillment of your ambitions – overcoming (‘overman’) the physical, emotional, intellectual, interpersonal, social, economic, political, military, and knowledge, impediments to a desired end. Will to power is an inspiration. Agency is its demonstration. Omniscience and Omnipotence are it’s ends. The transcendence of man into the gods we imagine.

“But How Do You Define Intelligence?”

“But How Do You Define Intelligence?”
Intelligence is:
(a) definable(ideal), (b) measurable(potential), and; (c) demonstrable(existential); … and like all cognition:
mechanical(biological), accidental (idiosyncratic accumulation of experience or knowledge), and deliberate (training). With conscientiousness is just as important as intelligence Intelligence provides discount on the rate of learning(adapting to) increasing complexity and consciousness duration of tolerance for frustration – and together these defeat time and complexity. Wanna be Scared? What do you think Ohm’s Law tells us? Same thing: Dehumanizing. I(current) =V(voltage)/R(resistance) Intelligence = Information / Resistance
DEFINITIONS:
Sentience, Awareness, Consciousness, Agency, and Intelligence : The Evolution of Memory and Its Adaptation and Friction
SENTIENCE: Sense and Perceive changes in state, absent prediction and choice. Neurology not ‘memory’.
AWARENESS: Awareness of changes in bodily and environmental state because of the availability of short term memory, limited long term, little if any forecasting. Short term memory.
CONSCIOUSNESS SPECTRUM: Modeling Space, Time, and Others, including the modeling of space, time by others because of extensive Long term memory. Some degree of forecasting but limited recursive permutation (thinking).
AGENCY: Given that predictions (models) and the actions to bring them about are computed by our brains simultaneously, the ability to suppress, recursively iterate upon, and choose between, then act upon or choose not to act upon those impulses. Multiple competing forecasts, with control over selection of subject(choice of forecast) of recursion.
INTELLIGENCE refers to a very general mental capability that, among other things, involves the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly and learn from experience. Individuals differ from one another in their ability to understand complex ideas, to adapt effectively to the environment, to learn from experience, to engage in various forms of reasoning, to overcome obstacles by deliberate thought.
BIOLOGICAL INTELLIGENCE consists in requiring less biological resources to obtain more relevant predictions with limited error, in shorter time. It’s a measure of ‘cable friction’ (really) – meaning lower is better. (neuronal resistance is calculated using the same formula as undersea cables.)
INTELLIGENCE QUOTIENT is a variable that summarizes positive correlations among different cognitive tasks, reflecting the fact that an individual’s performance on one type of cognitive task tends to be comparable to that person’s performance on other kinds of cognitive tasks.
DEMONSTRATED INTELLIGENCE requires (a) ‘g’, (b) short term memory (working memory), (c) general knowledge, (d) concordance of wants with reality (not wanting or believing impossible or stupid things), (e) trait conscientiousness (sticking to it).
The consciousness spectrum is a function of memory – and especially memory as a ratio of body size – and all consciousness evolves from the same function: body modeling in space determined by available movement.
The sequence of states above are all names of marginal differences in state in the spectrum of cognition and as such represent a continuity of increasing recursive iterations of neuronal organization and not discreet functions.
In any self organizing, self reinforcing, neuronal system (network), each iteration (layer of abstraction) increases the prediction in time, space, and distance from perception to calculation. And tools of computation (language-communication, accumulated experience(know1edge), theory, writing, formulae, numbers, logic) allow us to use internal and external tools for increasing prediction of the time, space, object, population, with our given abilities – which across human classes, range dramatically.

Definitions: Conqueror > Settler > Immigrant > Refugee > Invader
Jan 29, 2020, 10:47 AM Definitions: CONQUEROR > SETTLER > IMMIGRANT > REFUGEE > INVADER by Thomas Beesley CONQUEROR: Somebody who risks life and limb to domesticate a primitive territory and people by creating a market order, by the organized application of violence. SETTLER: somebody who comes when there is nothing, and builds a civilization from it. A pioneer, an adventurer, a conqueror. Productivity, masculinity, ingenuity, fierce independence. Patrician founders, their heirs the rightful inheritors of the nation and a portion of all of the fruits of it’s production by right of establishment. IMMIGRANT: somebody who comes over long after the work of establishing and building of the civilization has ended and merely reaps the rewards of those who came before. A plebian underclass by nature, at best a person simply looking for opportunity, at worst a parasite looking for a host. Interlopers, opportunists, traveling merchants, unwelcome guests who readily make themselves at home. My ancestors were not immigrants. They were conquerors and settlers. And they left me and mine our inheritance.And I am willing to fight to defend that inheritance.
