notes
In an era where funding for good projects can be hard to come by, or is even endangered, we must affirmatively make the case for the study of how to improve human well-being. This possibility is a fundamental reason why the American public is interested in supporting the pursuit of knowledge, and rightly so.
Keep in mind that they're asking this in an anti-science and post-fact political climate. Is progress studies the real end goal, or do we need political solutions? Better communication solutions? Better education solutions? Instead? First?
Are they addressing the correct question/problem here?
Along these lines, the world would benefit from an organized effort to understand how we should identify and train brilliant young people, how the most effective small groups exchange and share ideas, which incentives should exist for all sorts of participants in innovative ecosystems (including scientists, entrepreneurs, managers, and engineers), how much different organizations differ in productivity (and the drivers of those differences), how scientists should be selected and funded, and many other related issues besides.
These are usually incredibly political questions that aren't always done logically.
See for example Malcolm Gladwell's podcast episode My Little Hundred Million.

Here, the card index func-tions as a ‘thinking machine’,67 and becomes the best communication partner for learned men.68
From a computer science perspective, isn't the index card functioning like an external memory, albeit one with somewhat pre-arranged linked paths? It's the movement through the machine's various paths that is doing the "thinking". Or the user's (active) choices that create the paths creates the impression of thinking.
Perhaps it's the pre-arranged links where the thinking has already happened (based on "work" put into the system) and then traversing the paths gives the appearance of "new" thinking?
How does this relate to other systems which can be thought of as thinking from a complexity perspective? Bacteria perhaps? Groups of cells acting in concert? Groups of people acting in concert? Cells seeing out food using random walks? etc?
From this perspective, how can we break out the constituent parts of thought and thinking? Consciousness? With enough nodes and edges and choices of paths between them (or a "correct" subset of paths) could anything look like thinking or computing?

In den Tiefen des Weltalls, weit entfernt von unserem Sonnensystem, leben Monte (Robert Pattinson) und seine kleine Tochter Willow (Jessie Ross) gemeinsam auf einem ramponierten Raumschiff, dessen Besatzung vor einiger Zeit noch aus vielen verurteilten Schwerverbrechern bestand, die sich mit einer gefährlichen Mission von ihren Strafen freikauften. Mit Experimenten wurden sie von der wahnsinnigen Reproduktionswissenschaftlerin Dibs (Juliette Binoche) gequält, bei denen bis auf Monte und Willow alle ums Leben kamen. Monte ist ein stiller Mann, der sich eine harte Selbstdisziplin auferlegt hat. Doch wenn er mit seiner Tochter zusammen ist, wird aus ihm ein zärtlicher Versorger. Nun sind die beiden die letzten Überlebenden der Crew und nähern sich in völliger Isolation ihrem letzten unausweichlichen Ziel: einem schwarzen Loch und damit auch dem Ende von Zeit und Raum. filmstarts.de
„High Life“ ist ein schmerzhafter Film, doch es lohnt sich, die Expedition ins Nichts zu begleiten. Wer ein klassisches Weltraum-Epos erleben will, der bleibt besser auf dem Boden. Claire Denis‘ Vision ist kompromisslos und radikal. Ein einzigartiges, schwarzes Juwel. filmstarts.de 4,5/5
In „High Life“ nimmt uns die französische Arthouse-Regisseurin Claire Denis mit ins Weltall. Von Zivilisation ist da oben aber nichts zu spüren. Stattdessen gibt es eine zwischen Wahnsinn und Klaustrophobie schwankende Stimmung, die nach und nach zwischenmenschliche Abgründe freilegt, während das Publikum vergebens auf Erlösung, Hoffnung oder eine tatsächliche Handlung wartet. Oliver Armknecht 8/10
An Bord eines Raumschiffes werden übergriffige Experimente durchgeführt, die die Überlebenden vor komplizierte Fragen stellen und dem Publikum schwer zu denken geben. Claire Denis erobert mit ihrem ungewöhnlichen Vertreter eines traditionsreichen Genres reizvolles Neuland. epdFilm ?/10

In naher Zukunft: Cameron (Mahershala Ali) ist todkrank. Dem fürsorglichen Ehemann und Vater wird von seiner Ärztin (Glenn Close) ein Weg aufgezeigt, wie er seine Familie vor dem bevorstehenden Leid bewahrt: Er soll sich durch einen Klon ersetzen lassen, der wie eine Abbild seiner selbst aussieht. Während Cameron mit der Frage konfrontiert wird, ob er das Schicksal seiner Familie ändern soll oder nicht, lernt er immer mehr Wahrheiten über das Leben, den Verlust und die Liebe, als er sich jemals vorgestellt hätte. Cameron erkennt daraufhin immer mehr, was bedeutet, Opfer zu bringen und wie weit ein Mensch in der Lage ist zu gehen, um seinen Liebsten ein glücklicheres, besseres Leben zu ermöglichen... filmstarts.de
„Schwanengesang“ handelt von Klonen todkranker Menschen, welche den Platz ihrer Originale einnehmen sollen, damit die ahnungslose Familie nicht leiden muss. Das überwiegend ruhig erzählte und schön bebilderte Science-Fiction-Drama stellt existenzielle Fragen zu Identität, aber auch moralische, welchen Preis das Glück haben darf. Das richtet sich vor allem an ein Publikum, das gerne nachdenkt, bietet aber ebenfalls emotionale Momente, die auf das Konto von Mahershala Ali gehen. Oliver Armknecht 7,5/10

Why is dystopian sci-fi seem more ubiquitous than optomistic sci-fi?
For Europeanaudiences, the indigenous critique would come as a shock to thesystem, revealing possibilities for human emancipation that, oncedisclosed, could hardly be ignored.
Indigenous peoples of the Americas critiqued European institutions for their structures and lack of freedom. In turn, while some Europeans listened, they created an evolutionary political spectrum of increasing human complexity to combat this indigenous critique.
Hobbes and Rousseau told their contemporaries things that werestartling, profound and opened new doors of the imagination. Nowtheir ideas are just tired common sense. There’s nothing in them thatjustifies the continued simplification of human affairs. If socialscientists today continue to reduce past generations to simplistic,two-dimensional caricatures, it is not so much to show us anythingoriginal, but just because they feel that’s what social scientists areexpected to do so as to appear ‘scientific’. The actual result is toimpoverish history – and as a consequence, to impoverish our senseof possibility.
The simplification required to make models and study systems can be a useful tool, but one constantly needs to go back to the actual system to make sure that future predictions and work actually fit the real world system.
Too often social theorists make assumptions which aren't supported in real life and this can be a painfully dangerous practice, especially when those assumptions are built upon in ways that put those theories out on a proverbial creaking limb.
This idea is related to the bias that Charles Mathewes points out about how we treat writers as still living or as if they never lived. see: https://hypothes.is/a/VTU2lFvZEeyiJ2tN76i4sA
Peruvian letters which was supposedly the letters home by a captured Inca princess who's trapped in France and they're commenting on French society and this is later remembered it 00:50:03 comes out in his late 1740s um it's later remembered as the first book which suggested the idea of the welfare state
The 1747 book Letters of a Peruvian Woman by the prominent saloniste Madame de Graffigny, which viewed French society through the eyes of an imaginary kidnapped Inca princess, is remembered as the first book to suggest the idea of the welfare state.
sort of classic banned tribe chief state hierarchy that 00:26:00 archeologists anthropologists still apply
Traditional hierarchy used by many archaeologists and anthropologists:
there's a great literature in 00:21:37 anthropology about the way that hunter-gatherer societies and many other societies action flip and alternate between very different kinds of political 00:21:49 arrangements depending partly on the time of year so one will have periods of great economic abundance let's say when the Bison or the deer or the woolly mammoth if we're in the Pleistocene 00:22:03 europe are coming through the valleys and you'll have extremely elaborate social measures put in place to make sure that hunting is successfully completed and during those periods you 00:22:17 might have a very authoritarian kind of political organization but once it's all over the society changes shape Marcel Mauss actually used the term social morphology I think to describe this 00:22:30 society moves and transforms
Marcel Mauss defines social morphology as a way that societies flip or alternate between social structures depending on the seasons based on availability of food and potentially other factors.
Perhaps to be found in Seasonal Variations of the Eskimo: A Study in Social Morphology #
evolutionary theorists like Christopher berm whose book hierarchy in the forest he's a primatologist is quite explicit about 00:11:27 this and says well this is precisely what makes human politics different from the politics of say chimpanzees or bonobos or orangutangs is what he calls our actuarial intelligence which I 00:11:39 believe what he means by this is the fact that we can in fact imagine what another kind of society might be like
Primatologist [[Christopher Boehm]] argues in his book Hierarchy in the Forest: The Evolution of Egalitarian Behavior that humans are different from our primate ancestors because homo sapiens possess actuarial intelligence, or the ability to imagine what other kinds of society might look like.

Алексей Буров 4 ноября 2021 г., 07:43 Эпоха экспертов Как обозначить эпоху, которой мы принадлежим? Общепринятый ответ — эпоха научно-технического прогресса, НТП. Возьмем его за отправную точку, ибо как тут спорить? Размах науки достиг 45 порядков величин, от видимой Вселенной до Хиггс-бозона и топ-кварка. Технический прогресс преобразил цивилизацию, создал «вторую природу», создает «второй интеллект». Удивительно, что этот космический рывок человечества произошёл на глазах всего лишь нескольких поколений. У его истока стояла очень малая группа интеллектуалов, вдохновляемых верой в то, что природа структурирована божественными математическими формами, постижимыми для человека. Их «пифагорейская вера», как я ее называю, оказалась пророческой; порожденная ею математическая физика явилась как фантастически успешное предприятие человечества. Начиная с открытия радиоволн, технические инновации были уже напрямую зависимы от открытий фундаментальной физики и пошли как из рога изобилия. Вместо сравнительно узкой группы ученых и изобретателей появились целые армии экспертов в быстро множащихся областях науки и техники. Эпоха НТП — время экспертов. Сделать карьеру, подняться по социальному статусу, стало возможным на путях экспертного образования. В высокотехнологическом мире, с его необозримым числом затребованных специальностей, такой путь открылся для многих. Отвечая этому запросу, университеты, бывшие когда-то школами целостного универсального мышления, превратились по преимуществу в кузницы экспертного знания. Техническая специализация затребована и хорошо оплачивается, но как же быть с целостным знанием? Популярный ответ на этот вопрос — забыть эту архаичную идею, отброшенную самой бурнокипящей жизнью. Кому оно нужно вообще, целостное знание? Никому, кроме редких чудаков. Да оно и невозможно — никто не обнимет необъятного. А то и похуже: химеры целостного знания производят тоталитарные системы, поэтому их следует избегать, а лучше — противодействовать им всеми способами. Всё бы ничего, но у такого решения есть один недостаток: оно самоубийственно. Система, теряющая целостность, уходит в небытие — будь то социум, организм, повесть, научная теория или личность. Недаром Платон обозначал высший уровень бытия как Единое Всеблагое, а его великий последователь Плотин сократил это обозначение до одного слова — Единое. Отцы церкви учили о предвечном Боге как Едином в трех Лицах. Любое общественное объединение возможно лишь на основе действенного согласия людей относительно главных принципов этого объединения. Социум может успешно функционировать и развиваться к лучшему лишь на основе согласия граждан относительно базовых идей справедливости, права и управления, и общий им всем корень «прав» тут не случаен. Без разделяемой гражданами некой высшей общей правды возможно лишь тотальное бесправие, царство лжи и насилия. Эта высшая правда может быть действенной лишь как высшая ценность, высший смысл — иначе она была бы лишь пустой декларацией и прикрытием для реализации особых страстей, желаний и выгод. Но что же может, а что не может быть этой «высшей правдой», и как её знать? Для этого есть, по-видимому, только один путь: по плодам их узнаете их. История человечества, цивилизации, народа, предков и моя личная — все это вместе составляет данные опыта, требующие осмысления в плане плодов тех или иных учений. Игнорирование уроков прошлого или неадекватное их осмысление неизбежно приводит к новым бедствиям: преодоление грехов и заблуждений предков возможно лишь через усилия понимания и связанных с ним очищения и восхождения. Только таким образом зрелый свободный человек и может улучшать свое представление об общем благе или высшей правде. Когда мы спрашиваем о смысле чего бы то ни было, мы спрашиваем о ценности более высокого ранга, чем то, смысл чего мы ищем. Вопросы о смысле влекут вверх по дереву ценностей, приводя к вопросу о смысле моей жизни, смысле человечества и Вселенной. Эти вопросы требуют ответов, и любой мой ответ или отказ от ответа влечет глубокие следствия для моей, и не только моей, жизни. Эти вопросы составляют полюс ценностей; чреватые трудными поворотами и жертвами, они пугают и напрягают, ответы на них порождают конфликты и войны. Многим хотелось бы от них отделаться: отвернуться, забыть об их существовании, заболтать, объявить бессмысленными, заклеймить их как неприличные, заблокировать глухими стенами табу или навязать всем и каждому одну и ту же правильную схему, сомнение в которой было бы наказуемо. Все эти виды бегства от высших вопросов тождественны бегству от свободы (Фромм), забвению себя в том или ином дурмане, тождественны тому или иному виду самоослепления, самоубийства, прямого или косвенного. Сказанное проливает дополнительный свет на фигуру эксперта, ученого или инженера, специалиста по «второй природе», технике, или «второму интеллекту», искусственному. Настоящая экспертиза требует образования и изобретательности, энергичной умственной деятельности определенного рода, увлекательной и хорошо оплачиваемой. Именно поэтому научно-техническая экспертиза предоставляет уникальные возможности для бегства от высших вопросов, бегства от свободы. Дело даже не только в том очевидном обстоятельстве, что овладение специальностью и совершенствование квалификации требует столь значительных усилий, что на прочее не остается времени. Дело еще и в том, что редукция мышления до экспертного оказывается весьма удобным, уважаемым и незаметным способом избавиться от высших вопросов. В 1950 году Эрвин Шредингер (1887-1961) прочел серию лекций, вышедших в следующем году в виде брошюры «Наука и гуманизм», где он затронул проблему экспертного знания, усмотрев в фигуре эксперта «массового человека» Ортеги-и-Гассета, обозначенного в «Восстании масс», книге 1930 года. Ниже следует комментарий Шредингера к этому наблюдению Ортеги, с обширной внутренней цитатой из «Восстания масс»: "…я бы хотел поговорить о главе La barbarie del especialismo, варварство специализации. На первый взгляд это кажется парадоксом и может шокировать. Он осмеливается [! АБ] представить специализирующегося ученого как типичного представителя грубой невежественной толпы — hombre masa (массового человека), — который угрожает выживанию истинной цивилизации. Я могу привести лишь несколько фрагментов из его восхитительного описания этого ‘типа ученого, не имеющего прецедентов в истории’. «Это человек, который из всего, что по-настоящему образованная личность должна знать, знаком только с одной конкретной наукой, более того, лишь с той ее малой частью, исследованиями в области которой он сам занимается. Он достиг точки, в которой он объявляет достоинством [! АБ] не обращать внимания на все, что находится за пределами узкой области, которую он сам культивирует, и обвиняет в дилетантстве любопытство, стремящееся к синтезу всего знания. Происходит так, что он, будучи зажатым в узких рамках своего поля зрения, действительно открывает новые факты и продвигает свою науку (которую он вряд ли знает), продвигая вместе с ней и интегрированную человеческую мысль, которую он решительно игнорирует. Как такое оказалось возможным, и каким образом это остается возможным? Ибо мы должны сильно подчеркнуть неординарность следующего неопровержимого факта: экспериментальная наука была в большой степени продвинута работой невероятно заурядных и даже более чем заурядных людей.»" (Наука и гуманизм, 1951) На мой взгляд, «варварство специалистов», отмеченное Ортегой почти век назад и подчеркнутое Шредингером двадцать лет спустя, не только не ослабло, но, оставаясь по сути тем же самым, захватило еще большие круги человечества. Дезинтеграция картины мира, сведение ее к бессмысленному калейдоскопу частных экспертных представлений и моделей, оборачивается распадом человека и социума, доминированием «последнего человека» Ницше. Спасение может прийти лишь на путях осознания беды и усилий к ее преодолению. Каким может быть смысл жизни, неуничтожимый даже гибелью Вселенной? — такой вопрос должен быть осознан и рассмотрен как предельно актуальный. Когда и если это начнет происходить, эпоха экспертов станет вытесняться временем нового цельного знания.

what they see as our three basic freedoms: the freedom to disobey, the freedom to go somewhere else, and the freedom to create new social arrangements?
What is the state? the authors ask. Not a single stable package that’s persisted all the way from pharaonic Egypt to today, but a shifting combination of, as they enumerate them, the three elementary forms of domination: control of violence (sovereignty), control of information (bureaucracy), and personal charisma (manifested, for example, in electoral politics).
The story is linear (the stages are followed in order, with no going back), uniform (they are followed the same way everywhere), progressive (the stages are “stages” in the first place, leading from lower to higher, more primitive to more sophisticated), deterministic (development is driven by technology, not human choice), and teleological (the process culminates in us).
This might be the case if the tools drove the people, but isn't it more likely the way in which different people use the tools?
Which direction gives rise to more complexity?

Lem (2013|1964) - Summa Technologiae
computer engineering, microarchitecture, also called computer organization and sometimes abbreviated as µarch or uarch, is the way a given instruction set architecture (ISA) is implemented in a particular processor.[1] A given ISA may be implemented with different microarchitectures;[2][3] implementations may vary due to different goals of a given design or due to shifts in technology.[4]
Microarchitecture (µarch) What Does Microarchitecture (µarch) Mean? Microarchitecture, abbreviated as µarch or uarch, is the fundamental design of a microprocessor. It includes the technologies used, resources and the methods by which the processor is physically designed in order to execute a specific instruction set (ISA or instruction set architecture). Simply put, it is the logical design of all electronic components and data paths present in the microprocessor, laid out in a specific way that it allows for optimal execution of instructions. In academe this is called computer organization.

Techopedia Explains Microarchitecture (µarch) Microarchitecture is the logical representation of how a microprocessor is designed so that the interconnections between components – the control unit, the arithmetic logic unit, registers and others – interact in an optimized manner. This includes how buses, the data pathways between components, are laid out to dictate the shortest paths and proper connections. In modern microprocessors there are often several layers to deal with complexity. The basic idea is to lay out a circuit that could execute commands and operations that are defined in an instruction set.
A technique that is currently used in microarchitecture is the pipelined datapath. It is a technique that allows a form of parallelism that is applied in data processing by allowing several instructions to overlap in execution. This is done by having multiple execution pipelines that run in parallel or close to parallel.
Execution units are also a crucial aspect of microarchitecture. Execution units perform the operations or calculations of the processor. The choice of the number of execution units, their latency and throughput is a central microarchitectural design consideration. The size, latency, throughput and connectivity of memories within the system are also microarchitectural decisions.
Another part of a microarchitecture is system-level design. This includes decisions on performance such as level and connectivity of input, as well as output and I/O devices.
Microarchitectural design pays closer attention to restrictions than capability. A microarchitecture design decision directly affects what goes into a system; it heeds to issues such as:
Performance Chip area/cost Logic complexity Ease of debugging Testability Ease of connectivity Power consumption Manufacturability A good microarchitecture is one that caters to all of these criteria.

In general, an ISA defines the supported instructions, data types, registers, the hardware support for managing main memory, fundamental features (such as the memory consistency, addressing modes, virtual memory), and the input/output model of a family of implementations of the ISA.
Instruction Set Architecture defines all logical steps (performed by their corresponding digital logical design hardware) which realizing all computing tasks facilitating our life.

I think the reason that all the spiritual traditions have got this concept of "we are all connected inside of it" is because the societies that actually deeply adopt this idea are the ones that over time deepen their level of consideration, deepen their level of expression, deepen their level of understanding for each other. 00:16:40 This is the reason that this idea pops up over and over at the core of spiritual traditions. And I hope through this talk you see that the reason that it appears at the core of science is it's actually something that is just literally true of the physical universe at every single level of organization and every single manifestation of matter, energy, and life.
This is a good alignment showing that at the deepest level, the fundamental aspiration and values of science and religion are the same: interconnectedness.

A simplified freezing point depression (FPD) equation was derived for calculating water activity (aw) of food systems. The aw values as calculated by FPD data agreed with literature data for a variety of foods to within ± 0.01 aw units. The FPD equation was found particularly useful for calculating aw values of frozen foods at temperatures between 273.1.5–233.15 °K (0 to −40°C).
± 0.01 aw? That's crazy accurate. Temperature is extremely easy to measure at home, which makes this a perfect technique for home food preservation. In particular, it can be used with sugar-free, salt-free, and other obscure recipes for which water activity is hard to estimate.
Additionally, this accuracy could be run in reverse. Knowing the water activity of ice-cream can tell you the freezing point. Moreover, a mini fridge could keep select food items chilled below 0°C for better preservation. In particular, I plan to dissolve erythritol into unsweetened plant milks and lower my fridge temp accordingly.
