YouTube details - title: climate Doomsday 6 years from now - author: Jerry Kroth, pyschologist

summary - Psychologist Jerry Kroth makes a claim that the 1.5 Deg C and 2.0 Deg C thresholds will be reached sooner than expected - due to acceleration of climate change impacts. - He backs up his argument with papers and recent talks of climate thought leaders using their youtube presentations. - This presentation succinctly summarized a lot of the climate news I've been following recently. - It reminded me of the urgency of climate change, my work trying to find a way to integrate the work of the Climate Clock project into other projects. - This work was still incomplete but now I have incentive to complete it.

Maybe this: Love which exempts no one from loving in return, by dante, shows that love is a reflection of the self and an understanding of one's identity.

Great song. Might want to have it performed live on my own wedding.

He just downed a glass of his own fluid, and enjoyed it... Does this mean love and sexual desire is a desire targeted at loving oneself?

An island can be symbolic for something that is within reach, but not quite so. It is an idyllic representation. Love, as well.

• definition: multiscale competency architecture of life

• paraphrase

  • The multiscale competency architecture of life is a hypothesis about the scaling of cognition, seeing complex system-level behaviors in any space as the
    • within-level and
    • across-level
  • competition and
  • cooperation
  • among the various
    • subunits and
    • partitions
  • of composite agents (i.e., all agents).
  • The generalization of problem spaces beyond the traditional 3D space of “behavior” into other, virtual problem spaces is essential for understanding evolution of basal cognition.
  • Living things
    • first solved problems in metabolic space, and evolution then pivoted the same kinds of strategies to
    • solve problems in
      • physiological,
      • transcriptional, and
      • anatomical space,
    • before speed-optimizing these dynamics to enable rapid behavior in 3D space.
  • Since every cognitive agent is made of parts, it is essential to have a theory about how
    • numerous goal-seeking agents link together into
    • a new, larger cognitive system that is novel and not present in any of the subunits.

• comment

• adjacency between:
  • multiscale competency architecture
  • superorganism

• adjacency statement

  • The concept of multiscale competency architecture is a useful one for considering and organizing the effects of Major Evolutionary Transitions (METs) over evolutionary timescales.
  • It links and locates the normative scale in which human consciousness exists to the lower scales of cells and subcellular life below, and to society as a social superorganism above.
  • it shows that each human INTERbeing / INTERbeCOMing is not isolated, but is part of a multiscale nexus / gestalt
  • I've incorporated this into my SRG presentation.

• question

  • is there research on signaling mechanisms exist between different levels?
    • in another part of the paper, there is discussion of gap junctions as a way to cohere individual cells into group functionality
    • in particular, is there a way for humans consciousness to communicate with lower levels of its body? ie. to tissues, cells or subcellular structures?
  • Could the Bodhisattva vow be extended not only at the level of the social superorganism of groups of individual multicellular beings, but also downwards in the multiscale competency architecture to all the trillions of cells and microbes that inhabit each multicellular planetary body?

He and Agnes will fall in love

An article about contemporary philosopher Agnes Callard

Why did Medea pick the gifts she did? "...crown (plokos) and a robe (peplos)- to kill Creon and his daughter." The article mentions that gifts are not an isolated matter and hold some meaning from the past. "In the case of Medea, the plokos and peplos-gifts given to her by her grandfather, Helios- are implicated in her own genealogy and history with Jason. Standing as symbols of autonomous power that Medea once used to give herself away in marriage." Medea used the items from her marriage to Jason to "punish Jason for his violation of philia."

What is philia? Philia is affectionate love.

Fear not the images related to this word your memories have brought. Recall what author said in introduction: removing blocks to love is Course's one concern. You're not in need of adding content to your mind. A sculptor's masterpiece is ready, when everything unnecessary is removed. Let all illusions be dispelled off you and there is nothing left but love.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all of the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. T-16.4.6

You are only love, but when you deny this, you make what you are something you must learn to remember. T-6.3.2

Healing is not creating; it is reparation. T-5.2.1

The miracle does nothing. All it does is to undo ... It does not add, but merely takes away. T-28.1.1

The Atonement does not make holy. You were created holy. It merely brings unholiness to holiness; or what you made to what you are. Bringing illusion to truth, or the ego to God, is the Holy Spirit's only function. T-14.9.1

All your past except its beauty is gone, and nothing is left but a blessing. T-5.4.8

Austen uses gratitude throughout her novels as a basis for love (Henry to Catherine in Northanger Abbey and Elizabeth to Darcy in P&P)

Cornel West, US philosopher / activisti https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornel_West Full quote: "Justice is what love looks like in public. Tenderness is what love looks like in private." Justice as an expression of love, to make manifest that you include all within humanity. It seems in some YT clips it's also a call to introduce more tenderness into systems. Sounds like a [[Multidimensionaal gaan ipv platslaan 20200826121720]] variant, of even better a [[Macroscope 20090702120700]] in the sense of [[Macroscope for new civil society 20181105203829]] where just systems surround tender interactions.

I'd like to think that Anne would support Mrs Clay and Sir Walter if she thought they were genuinely in love but she can see Mrs Clays mechanisms - this may be her motivation rather than that Mrs Clay is "beneath him" (though it would be a match that shocked)

In Jane Austen The Secret Radical Helena Kelly posits that Anne and Captain Wentworth are not in love at the beginning of the book, but fall back in love during the course of the novel.

How does this correspond with the social, economic, and political as it relates to the qualities of love and the unified quantum field of consciousness: connection, energy, and power?

The Sunday Thing

The love of money is the root of all evil

This week, Michael Gungor asked us to discuss money in our breakout groups.

Money is power

We outsource our power and authority to those who claim to have greater access to capital, because we underestimate and undervalue our own social influence, economic capacity, and political agency. The entreprecariat is designed for learned helplessness (social: individualism), trained incapacities (economic: specialization), and bureaucratic intransigence (political: authoritarianism). https://hypothes.is/a/667dOC0bEeyV6Itx3ySxmw

Indigenous cultures in Canada were disempowered by outlawing the cultural practice of generosity (potlatch) and replacing the practice with centralized power over the medium of exchange: money. Money is a mechanism of disempowerment.

Money is a shared story we tell ourselves about what has value. https://www.npr.org/transcripts/795246685

We translated “ekklesia” as church. It is the deliberative body of the experiment in democracy in Athens, Greece. The people who are figuring out how to live together in the commons. The work of the people. The Liturgists.

The Story of Money

In this hour, On the Media looks at the story of money, from its uncertain origins to its digital reinvention in the form of cryptocurrency.

On the Media: Full Faith & Credit

Squid Game

People were also discussing Squid Game.

Squid Game was on my mind today before the call. “The reality of the history of Canada’s mining industry makes #SquidGame look like child’s play.” https://twitter.com/bauhouse/status/1449726452098682881?s=20

The truth is that all of the gold that was mined out of the Klondike was under Indigenous land. There was no treaty with any of Indigenous peoples in the Yukon.

Ferial Puren mentioned 528 Hz as the frequency of love.

Integrating the minimalist journal in an interface for system thinking of the personal, social, economic, political, and ecological as nested holobionts.

I connected with Gien Wong through a meeting about the Infinity Project through the work of Rūta Danyte in the Design Science Studio. The next morning, the Stop Reset Go team had their first meeting.

The contrast between love and knowledge expanded from 1 Corinthians 8:1.

There is a common theme that contrasts knowledge and love.

“If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.”

This brings to mind the song by Switchfoot, Adding to the Noise.

“The interface for navigating metaphysical gravity is the physical bodies and metaphysical beings in the present awareness of a reality in which we are members of a living universe.”

At the beginning of my experience with the Design Science Studio, I met Ganga Devi Braun. She asked me, Have you heard of nominative determinism?

Ganga connected me with the concept of metaphysical gravity. For me, this helped me to answer the question I have about the meaning of my last name, which in German means to build. Since I first named my company in 1991, Bauhouse Visual Communications, I have been associating the word “build” with love (1 Corinthians 8:1).

Love is metaphysical gravity.

I like the differentiation that Jared has made here on his homepage with categories for "fast" and "slow".

It's reminiscent of the system 1 (fast) and system2 (slow) ideas behind Kahneman and Tversky's work in behavioral economics. (See Thinking, Fast and Slow)

It's also interesting in light of this tweet which came up recently:

I very much miss the back and forth with blog posts responding to blog posts, a slow moving argument where we had time to think.

— Rachel Andrew (@rachelandrew) August 22, 2017

Because the Tweet was shared out of context several years later, someone (accidentally?) replied to it as if it were contemporaneous. When called out for not watching the date of the post, their reply was "you do slow web your way…" #

This gets one thinking. Perhaps it would help more people's contextual thinking if more sites specifically labeled their posts as fast and slow (or gave a 1-10 rating?). Sometimes the length of a response is an indicator of the thought put into it, thought not always as there's also the oft-quoted aphorism: "If I Had More Time, I Would Have Written a Shorter Letter".

The ease of use of the UI on Twitter seems to broadly make it a platform for "fast" posting which can often cause ruffled feathers, sour feelings, anger, and poor communication.

What if there were posting UIs (or micropub clients) that would hold onto your responses for a few hours, days, or even a week and then remind you about them after that time had past to see if they were still worth posting? This is a feature based on Abraham Lincoln's idea of a "hot letter" or angry letter, which he advised people to write often, but never send.

Where is the social media service for hot posts that save all your vituperation, but don't show them to anyone? Or which maybe posts them anonymously?

The opposite of some of this are the partially baked or even fully thought out posts that one hears about anecdotally, but which the authors say they felt weren't finish and thus didn't publish them. Wouldn't it be better to hit publish on these than those nasty quick replies? How can we create UI for this?

I saw a sitcom a few years ago where a girl admonished her friend (an oblivious boy) for liking really old Instagram posts of a girl he was interested in. She said that deep-liking old photos was an obvious and overt sign of flirting.

If this is the case then there's obviously a social standard of sorts for this, so why not hold your tongue in the meanwhile, and come up with something more thought out to send your digital love to someone instead of providing a (knee-)jerk reaction?

Of course now I can't help but think of the annotations I've been making in my copy of Lucretius' On the Nature of Things. Do you suppose that Lucretius knows I'm in love?

If we look at the meaning of philosophy, then look at and try to describe the word love, we are trying to reason and understand the relationship of what it means to us and who we use it with. Love is important in history of psychology. Meaning of philosophy link: https://philosophy.fsu.edu/undergraduate-study/why-philosophy/What-is-Philosophy

Reasonably certain that this is the same Erich Segal who wrote the screenplays for Love Story and The Yellow Submarine.

Also interesting that the movie The Paper Chase is advertised on the same page as this story.

https://youtu.be/Wypqo5sIv7s

what do you think?

A good definition of a love story.

Love can be instinctual but is it a learned behavior if the affectional response is towards someone that you share at least one intimate moment?

Love is not exclusive to adults and adolescents as there are many types of love. I do not believe it has been stolen but added to love in general.

There is little to no information about love in our textbook, which leads me to believe that love is one emotion that was not historically explored.

It's important make happy yourself

This is very Dante's Beatrice for me, with this intensely spiritual connection the narrator has with a woman he's barely spoken with. It's strange because while there's this connection to the deep tradition of classical romance, but at the same time, and this is definitely informed by my modern perspective but I think the ending backs it up, this is a young pubescent boy having a crush on his neighbor because she's hot. Are these concepts incompatible, can part of that idealistic love exist in this moment, or is this school boy trying to explain away his crush using a connection to this deep literary tradition he's probably learning about in school?

I wonder if new way here is referring to the change William described at the beginning, or a change in her following reading his letter and her friends' responses. It's clear she knows her friends aren't the best influence on her after her response to their laughter, and that she really does love her husband, but she gives up writing the letter after framing it as a total choice between them and her husband, implying she chooses them. I guess that makes me think it means new way in the former sense, but it still could be a medium position between the two.

I believe Love Simon was a great way to incorporate the expression of the LGBTQ+ community into the romcom world.

After an impassioned heated debate between lovers like that? How could this book end any other way than with Franklin proving his innocence, and Rachel and Franklin confessing their love for eachother?

Does anyone have a positive view on marriage in this novel? I mean this screams nice guy energy.

Megrims!
