    1. Both biosphere boundaries

      for - question - earth system boundaries - biodiversity - how do we reconcile these boundaries with climate departure?

      question - earth system boundaries - biodiversity - how do we reconcile these boundaries with climate departure? - Does the term "functional integrity" imply autonomy from climate feedbacks? Obviously, climate feedback plays a huge role in determining biodiversity health - In 2013, Mora et al. found that climate departure, the year in which a climate variable moves out of the historical bounds will occur everywhere on the planet, regardless of an aggressive RCP pathway being taken. In this study, climate departure was found to take place (relative to 2013) - 37.5 years in the future under RCP45, or - 22.5 years in the future under RCP85 - It would seem that the biodiversity boundaries should take into consideration climate departure as species extinction and ecological system disruption is projected to occur, regardless of whether RCP45 or RCP85 is adopted. - Currently, we are still on a Business-As-Usual trajectory, but since 2013, scientific research has moved the danger threshold even lower so climate departure dates are likely even sooner than those calculated in the 2013 Mora paper

      Summary - This is an extremely important paper with a startling conclusion of the magnitude of the social and economic impacts of the biodiversity disruption coming down the pipeline - It is likely that very few governments are prepared to adapt to these levels of ecosystemic disruption - Climate departure is defined as an index of the year when: - The projected mean climate of a given location moves to a state that is - continuously outside the bounds of historical variability - Climate departure is projected to happen regardless of how aggressive our climate mitigation pathway - The business-as-usual (BAU) scenario in the study is RCP85 and leads to a global climate departure mean of 2047 (+/- 14 years s.d.) while - The more aggressive RCP45 scenario (which we are currently far from) leads to a global climate departure mean of 2069 (+/- 18 years s.d.) - So regardless of how aggressive we mitigate, we cannot avoid climate departure. - What consequences will this have on economies around the world? How will we adapt? - The world is not prepared for the vast ecosystem changes, which will reshape our entire economy all around the globe.

      question - 2024 - Sept 13 - how do we reconcile climate departure with quantification of earth system boundary biodiversity safe and just limit? - Annotating the Sept 11, 2024 published Earth Commission paper in Lancet, the question arises: - How do we reconcile climate departure dates with the earth system boundary quantification of safe limits for biodiversity? - There, it is claimed that: - 50 to 60 % of intact nature is required<br /> - https://hyp.is/Mt8ocnIEEe-C0dNSJFTjyQ/www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(24)00042-1/fulltext - a minimum of 20 to 25% of human modified ecosystems is required - https://hyp.is/AKwa4nIHEe-U1oNQDdFqlA/www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(24)00042-1/fulltext - in order to mitigate major species extinction and social disruption crisis - And yet, Mora et al.'s research and subsequent climate departure map shows climate departure is likely to take place everywhere on the globe, with - aggressive RCP decarbonization pathway only delaying climate departure from - Business-As-Usual RCP pathway - by a few decades at most - And this was a 2011 result. 13 years later in 2024, I expect climate departure dates have likely gotten worse and moved closer to the present

    1. Seit 2023 herrscht im Amazonasgebiet eine extreme Dürre, deren Ursachen die Erhitzung der Ozeane und ein durch die globale Erhitzung verstärkter El Niño sind. Sie begünstigt die extrem zahlreichen Waldbrände, deren Rauch gerade die Luft über 60% des brasilianischen Territoriums verschmutzt. 97% der Brände werden aber von Menschen entzündet, vor allem im Interesse der Agrarindustrie. Auch aufgrund der Entwaldung ist der Kipppunkt, von dem an der Wald Kohlenstoff emittiert statt absorbiert, näher als bisher angenommen.

Der neue französische Premierminister Michel Barnier hat in seiner Zeit als Umweltminister wesentlich dazu beigetragen, das Vorsorgeprinzip und die finanzielle Verantwortung der Verschmutzenden für Schäden im Umweltrecht zu verankern. Obwohl er zu Amtsbeginn auch von der „ökologischen Schuld" gesprochen hat, erwarten NGOs und Thinktanks, deren Vertreter:innen die Libération befragt hat, allenfalls vorsichtige umweltpolitische Schritte und eine insgesamt restriktive Ausgabenpolitik von ihm.https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/le-premier-ministre-michel-barnier-est-il-vraiment-decide-a-payer-la-dette-ecologique-de-la-france-20240906_7BYVDVAUSJD2VN6M4V7DAI2N2E/

    1. not to act in such a case would be the egoic response would be there it would be a response that came from the fear of an individual that it would be cowardice it would be it would be refusing to act washing a veneer of of non-violence over one's egoic fea

      for - nonduality - not acting against violence in such a case (as Ukraine war) is an egoic response - acting out of cowardice - Rupert Spira

      comment - One can act egoically both to take action AND to not take action.

    2. at least some of my audience sometimes misunderstand this position um they say well you know to express evil is also part of nature it's also part of the universal mind which is correct um but it is also part of you of the universal mind also part of nature to strive against evil to stop evil and sometimes forcefully if need be because you're not just going to wait for evil to come and barbarize your loved ones and violate truth left and right i think what this understand understanding calls for is not the complete cessation of the use of force when force is the last resort that we have at our at our hands what it calls for is the the end of the notion that the use of force is a form of vengeance

      for - question - nilhism - nondualism - is fighting evil a contradiction? - Rupert Spira - Bernado Kastrup - question - nilhism - how do we prevent falling into?

      question - nondualism - is fighting evil a contradiction? - Pondering this idea raises the question: - Is fighting evil a contradiction? - Do we fall into duality if we fight evil? - Does nonduality imply not creating categories of morality of good and evil? - This question has no answer because - If you understand the question, you are already - a language user - applying some morality - We are already post category and post linguistic - we can never undo this and get back to pre-category and pre-linguistic - Fighting evil cannot conquer it because - in fighting evil, this implies using (deadly) force - deadly force results in death, the most extreme form of suffering - It is tantamount to abuse and justifying death is the greatest act of separation, causing great suffering to the other - In effect, we have the same result as the abuser and this can create a new generation of abused

      question - nilhism - how do we prevent falling into? - Rather, what is needed is to PENETRATE moral relativism / dualism altogether to re-discover the common sacred ground both moral categories are based upon - The use of force as a form of vengeance - is the perpetuation of the abused-abuser cycle

    1. So there has to be a reality, deeper reality, out of which these spacetime reality that we call reality emerges. So so therefore the model to think of the model in your following way, consciousness is a quantum field.

      for - quote - consciousness - model of - as a quantum field - Federico Faggin - question - about Federico Faggin's quantum field theory of consciousness - Is it neo-dualistic?

      quote - consciousness - model of - as a quantum field - Federico Faggin - (see below) - Think of the body as a structure in space and time - It is both - classical - cells are made of particles, atoms and molecules that interact quantumly in space and time - AND fields - The body is a bridge between consciousness and the classical (objective spacetime) world - The body reports to the conscious field - and creates quantum states inside the cell

      potential future dialogue - Michael Levin and Federico Faggin - To unpack quantum states at cellular or subcellular level, it would be good to see a dialogue between Michael Levin and Federico Faggin

    2. Now we understand why there has to be an inner reality which is made of qualia and an outer reality which is made a lot of symbols, shareable symbols, what we call matter.

      for - unpack - key insight - with the postulate of consciousness as the foundation, it makes sense that this is - an inner reality made of qualia - and an outer reality made of shareable symbols we call matter - Federico Faggin - question - about Federico Faggin's ideas - in what way is matter a symbol? - adjacency - poverty mentality - I am the universe who wants to know itself question - in what way is matter a symbol? - Matter is a symbol in the sense that it - we describe reality using language, both - ordinary words as well as - mathematics - It is those symbolic descriptions that DIRECT US to jump from one phenomena to another related phenomena. - After all, WHO is the knower of the symbolic descriptions? - WHAT is it that knows? Is it not, as FF points out, the universe itself - as expressed uniquely through all the MEs of the world, that knows? - Hence, the true nature of all authentic spiritual practices is that - the reality outside of us is intrinsically the same as - the reality within us - our lebenswelt of qualia

    3. it has to be taken as a postulate

      for - answer - It has to be taken as a postulate - Federico Faggin - to question - how can we test that consciousness is the foundation of reality?

    2. a model of the self that is inherently Collective and flowing

      for - quote - model of a Self that is flowing and collective - John Vervaeke - similiarity to - Deep Humanity foundations on emptiness

      quote - model of a Self that is flowing and collective - John Vervaeke - This is equivalent to Stop Reset Go Deep Humanity foundation on the two pillars of emptiness - change and intertwingledness

    1. this localization process enables consciousness to perceive itself as the universe because infinite consciousness cannot perceive its own activity directly because it would have to do so from if infinite consciousness were to perceive the universe directly it would have to do so from every single point of view in the universe it would be the deepest darkest black image you could imagine so in order to perceive an object consciousness must localize itself as an apparently separate subject so this localization of the apparent localization of our self or the dissociation of ourselves as finite minds out of infinite consciousness enables um perception

      for - adjacency - key insight - quote - localization enables (infinite or universal consciousness) to perceive itself - Rupert Spira - discerning single voice at a busy party metaphor - existential isolation - umwelt

      adjacency - between - key insight - quote - localization enables (infinite or universal consciousness) to perceive itself - Rupert Spira - discerning single voice at a busy party metaphor - existential isolation - adjacency relationship - quote - localization enables (infinite or universal consciousness) to perceive itself - Rupert Spira - This localization process enables (infinite) consciousness to perceive itself as the universe because - infinite consciousness cannot perceive its own activity directly - because if infinite consciousness were to perceive the universe directly - it would have to do so from every single point of view in the universe - It would be the deepest, darkest black image you could imagine - So in order to perceive an object - (infinite) consciousness must localize itself as an apparently separate subject so - the apparent localization of our self or - the dissociation of ourselves - as finite minds out of infinite consciousness enables - perception and - thought

      • There is a metaphor that applies here:
        • At a busy dinner party, many people are talking at the same time
        • As the number of people approach infinite, the signal becomes more difficult to detect
        • In the same manner, as the activities of the universe are seemingly unbounded, how could infinite consciousness possibly observe its own infinite entirety?
        • Existential isolation is deemed depressing because it makes us feel intrinsically separated and disconnected from others, yet
          • it may be very necessary
        • Can you imagine hearing and understanding the voices of every human being, much less every living being?
        • An individual human does not have the capacity to process all that information
        • In the same manner, the body of every living organism is fine tuned for only one specific set of unwelts
        • How would we process the unbound amounts of information if we had an infinite number of different detectors?
    1. is DNA in engram or not yeah I think so yeah okay yeah yeah I think so but now now again that that requires that requires a real shift I think most biologists would say no but I think it is because I think that um all memories are just messages from your past self and that what's happening with DNA is that previous previous basically there's this giant lineage agent that's the scale of an evolutionary lineage and the DNA are its engrams where that information is is being passed on the way that any memory would

      for - adjacency - DNA - as an engram - as a memory - Micheal Levin

      adjacency - between - DNA - as an engram - as a memory - adjacency relationship - Very interesting n way to see DNA

    1. Conclusión

      Propusimos una herramienta basada en IA que podría motivar a las mujeres de América Latina a participar en proyectos de ciencia ciudadana.

    1. International cooperation and an approach to ADM and machine learning grounded in human rights.

      Llamado a la acción

      Una revisión a nivel de agencias de la ONU sobre la aplicación de las leyes y estándares internacionales de derechos humanos existentes para la gestión de los datos automatizados, el aprendizaje automático y el género: esto puede guiar y provocar el pensamiento creativo para un enfoque basado en los derechos humanos que sea adecuado para el propósito en la era digital que cambia rápidamente.

      Desarrollo de un conjunto de métricas para la inclusión digital: debe acordarse urgentemente, medirse en todo el mundo y detallarse con datos desagregados por sexo en los informes anuales de instituciones como la ONU, el Fondo Monetario Internacional, la Unión Internacional de Telecomunicaciones, el Banco Mundial y otros bancos multilaterales de desarrollo, y la OCDE.

    2. Take clear proactive steps to include an intersectional variety and equal numbers of women and girls in the creation, design, and coding of ADM.

      Llamado a la acción

      Equilibrio de género en la toma de decisiones de IA: el equilibrio de género en la toma de decisiones debe incluirse en la agenda oficial de todos los involucrados en la financiación, el diseño, la adopción y la evaluación de ADM.

      Equilibrio de género en los equipos de diseño: empleo de una gama sólida de feministas interseccionales en el diseño de sistemas ADM que desencadenarán y ayudarán a una mayor innovación y creatividad, así como la detección y mitigación de sesgos y efectos nocivos en mujeres, niñas y personas tradicionalmente excluidas.

      Exigir a las empresas que divulguen e informen de manera proactiva sobre el equilibrio de género en los equipos de investigación y diseño, incluso en la fase inicial cuando soliciten subvenciones. Incentivar equipos equilibrados y multidisciplinarios.

      Fondo de investigación: crear un fondo de investigación para explorar los impactos del género y la IA, el aprendizaje automático, el sesgo y la equidad, con un enfoque multidisciplinario más allá de la informática y la perspectiva económica para incluir nuevas formas de incorporar la alfabetización digital y estudiar los efectos económicos, políticos y sociales de ADM en las vidas de las mujeres y las personas tradicionalmente excluidas de la elaboración de reglas y la toma de decisiones.

    3. Advocate for and adopt guidelines that establish accountability and transparency for algorithmic decision making (ADM) in both the public and private sectors.

      Llamado a la acción

      Acciones algorítmicas equitativas para corregir los sesgos y barreras de la vida real que impiden que las mujeres y las niñas logren la participación plena y el disfrute igualitario de los derechos.

      Instituciones públicas para pilotar y liderar: Acción afirmativa para algoritmos implementados cuando las instituciones públicas pilotan ADM. Basar los pilotos en investigaciones de ciencias sociales nuevas y de larga data que asignan incentivos sociales, subsidios o becas donde las mujeres tradicionalmente han sido dejadas atrás en sistemas anteriores. Esta es una agenda positiva para promover los valores de igualdad que hemos adoptado durante mucho tiempo, para corregir la visibilidad, la calidad y la influencia de las mujeres proporcionales a la población.

      Adopción por parte del sector público y privado de evaluaciones de impacto algorítmico (AIA): un marco de autoevaluación diseñado para respetar el derecho del público a conocer los sistemas de IA que impactan sus vidas en términos de principios de responsabilidad y equidad.

      Pruebas rigurosas a lo largo del ciclo de vida de los sistemas de IA: las pruebas deben tener en cuenta los orígenes y el uso de los datos de entrenamiento, los datos de prueba, los modelos, la interfaz de programación de aplicaciones (API) y otros componentes a lo largo del ciclo de vida de un producto. Las pruebas deben cubrir ensayos previos al lanzamiento, auditorías independientes, certificación y monitoreo continuo para detectar sesgos y otros daños. La ADM debe mejorar la calidad de la experiencia humana, no controlarla.

      Marcos legales sólidos para promover la rendición de cuentas: incluida la posible expansión de poderes para agencias sectoriales específicas o la creación de nuevos términos de referencia para supervisar, auditar y monitorear los sistemas de ADM para la supervisión regulatoria y la responsabilidad legal en el sector privado y público.

      Directrices de adquisiciones con perspectiva de género: las organizaciones y todos los niveles de gobierno deben desarrollar directrices de adquisiciones de igualdad de género de ADM con objetivos estrictos; y describir los roles y responsabilidades de aquellas organizaciones requeridas para aplicar estos principios.

      Mejorar los conjuntos de datos: datos abiertos desagregados por género, recopilación de datos y conjuntos de datos de calidad inclusivos: producir activamente conjuntos de datos abiertos desagregados por género; Esto permite comprender mejor las fuentes de sesgo en la IA y, en última instancia, mejorar el rendimiento de los sistemas de aprendizaje automático. Invertir en controles para supervisar los procesos de recopilación de datos y la verificación humana en el circuito, de modo que los datos no se recopilen a expensas de las mujeres y otros grupos tradicionalmente excluidos. Participar en procesos de recopilación de datos más inclusivos que se centren no solo en la cantidad sino también en la calidad de los conjuntos de datos.

      adjacency - between - answer - synchronicity - lower level example - two neurons talking to each other - Michael Levin - Mark Solms foundational theory of affect - adjacency relationship - This is a very interesting question and Michael Levin provides a very interesting answer - First, it is very interesting that Mark Solms points out that affect is foundational to cognition - This is evident once we begin to think of the fundamental goals of any individual of any species is to optimize survival - The positive or negative affects that we feel are a feedback signal that measures how successful we are in our efforts to survive - Hence, it is more accurate to ask: - How do you know if and when you are part of a larger affective-cognitive system? - Levin illustrates the multi-level nature of simultaneous consciousness by looking at two neurons "in dialogue" with each other, and potentially speculating about a "higher level of consciousness", which is in fact, the level you and I operate at and take for granted - This speculative question is very important for it also can be generalized to the next layer up, - Do collectives of humans, each one experiencing itself a unified, cohesive inner perspective, constitute a higher level "collective consciousness"? - If we humans experience feelings and thinking whilst we have a well defined physical body, then - what does a society feel and think whilst not having such a well defined physical body?

    1. I want to figure out find out help find out ways in which we can have things where maybe at the most you need to dedicate a week of your life you know because you need to be in a special environment in order to have the the sort of the the conditions in which this can happen and can have those experiences and if say 30% of the people that claim to be ready actually have one of those experien that would be a marvelous objective to reach so that's what I'm thinking right now

      for - Federico Faggin - high priority objective - find and implement ways to catalyze authentic awakening experiences in a short time - ie - one week

    1. for - Dr. Donna Thomas - book - Children's unexplained experiences in a post materialistic world - analytic idealism - children perspective of reality - adjacency - children as natural philosophers - Deep Humanity as reminder of our philosophical nature

      adjacency - between - Children as natural philosophers - Deep Humanity - adjacency relationship - At time 59 minute of that interview, Dr Thomas makes a very insightful observation that - children are naturally philosophers - and ask deeply philosophical questions - Another way to look at Deep Humanity is that it is reminding us of these deeply philosophical questions the see all had when we were children - but we stopped asking then as we grew out of childhood because nobody could answer them for us

    1. Fear, thereby, acts a fulcrum tonegotiate his identity in context of his relationships.

      Fear is the deciding factor on how Elio and Oliver decide who they are in the context of their relationships there and then. Their identity is directly based on the social mirror due to fear.

    1. Two "5" keys (?!?) (SC Poweriter)

      reply to u/Deep-Seaworthiness48 at https://www.reddit.com/r/typewriters/comments/1e5gh4p/two_5_keys_sc_poweriter/

      SMC Typewriter from late 60s/early 70s with a pound/5 key in the !/1 position whose 5 is duplicated in the usual %/5 position

      Things like that happened on alternate language/region typewriters. I've got a Dutch keyboard layout that repeats a % symbol twice.

      It's likely that the pound symbol was needed/required so they pulled one from a pre-existing typeslug and key cap on a keyboard where the £/5 key was common and replaced the 1/! which in the era was widely known could be done by alternate means (aka lower case 'l' and '.' backspace '''.

      The value of the £ was more important to the typist and because of typeface manufacture was probably easier to do in the £/5 existing combination from something like the English No. 1028, International No. 1060 keyboard, the Brazilian No. 1065, or the Danish No. 1047 all of which paired the £/5. See also: https://munk.org/typecast/2023/02/03/1954-smith-corona-scm-typewriter-type-styles-and-keyboards-catalog/

      Off hand, I don't see another S-C keyboard combination from that time period that had a £ paired with any other glyph/character. In the "change-a-type" time period they likely wouldn't have done a custom black key for the £/5 when they were already manufacturing one in a matching white. If they didn't also swap out the key at the far right end of that bank, I would expect it to be a standard black '+/=' key cap and slug.

      comment - Deep Humanity is not a religion, but a deeper understanding of our own humanity, what is it to be human? - but just as important, to understand the distinction between - human nature and - nature - For if human nature is a subset of nature, - which the adjective-noun "human nature" implies - then there is something within humans that is of nature herself - Is it possible that the many fragmented spiritual paths that have emerged in different parts of the world merely reflect the different environs from which they developed, and that in fact, they all are searching for the same essence? - If so, then in perhaps the times we are in are calling us for a global recognition of our common denominators that make us ALL human, - and then the even deeper common denominator with nature herself - So what are those qualities we all have in common as human beings? - and also, what are the qualities our species has in common with nature herself? - neuroscientist David Eagleman coined the term "possibileanism". Perhaps it is that?

    2. most of the great religions in the world have been attempts to to restrain or reform uh human nature or at least uh channel our worst impulses into something 01:10:48 more productive or higher something loftier um and in this this is exactly what we need here it's something that will create a form of altruism which doesn't only extend to people we see around us now but extends 01:11:00 to the future generations

      for - rapid whole system change - need for something that will create a new form of altruism - Ronald Wright - transition - requires an experience of re-awakening transition - need for a new religion? Deep Humanity?

      comment 10 July 2024 - Deep Humanity is our attempt at this. It is not a religion, however. It is humanity, but in the deepest sense, so it is accessible to anyone in our species. Our tagline has been - Rekindling wonder in an age of crisis - However, this morning an adjacency occurred:

      adjacency - between - familiarity - wonder - adjacency relationship - Familiarity hides wonder - Richard Dawkins said: - There is an anaesthetic of familiarity, - a sedative of ordinariness - which dulls the senses and hides the wonder of existence. - For those of us not gifted in poetry, - it is at least worth while from time to time - making an effort to shake off the anaesthetic. - What is the best way of countering the sluggish habitutation brought about by our gradual crawl from babyhood? - We can't actually fly to another planet. - But we can recapture that sense of having just tumbled out to life on a new world - by looking at our own world in unfamiliar ways. - That is, when a type of experience becomes familiar through repeated sensory episodes, - we lose the feeling of wonder we had when we initially experienced it - It's much like visiting a place for the very first time. We are struck with a sense of wonder because everything is unpredictable, in a safe way. We have no idea what's around the next corner. It's a surprise. - However, once we live there, and have traced that route hundreds of times, we have transformed that first magical experience into mundane experience. - So it is with everything that makes us human, with all the foundational things about reality that we learned from the moment we were born. - They have all become jaded. We've forgotten the awe of those first experiences in this reality: - our first experience of our basic senses - our first breath of air, instead of amniotic fluid - our first integration of multiple sensory experiences into a cohesive whole - the birth of objectification - the very first application of objectification to form the object we called mOTHER - the Most significant OTHER - our first encounter with the integration of multiple sensory stimuli associated with each object we construct - our first encounter with auditory human, speech symbols - our first experience with object continuity - how objects still exist even if they disappear from view momentarily - do we remember freaking out when mOTHER disappeared from view momentarily? - our first ability to communicate with mOTHER through speech symbols - our first encounter with ability to control our bodies through our own volition - our first encounter with gravity, the pull towards the ground - our first encounter with a large bright sphere suspended in the sky - our first encounter with perspective, how objects change size in our field of view as they get nearer or farer - etc... - What's missing now, is that we have repeated all these experiences so many times, that the feeling of awe no longer emerges with life - To generate awe, the repertoire of existing experiences is insufficient - now we have to create NEW experiences, we have to create novelty - Mortality Salience can help jolt us out of this fixation on novelty, and remind us of the sacred that is already here all the time - For, what happens at the time of death? All the constructions we have taken for granted in life disappear all at once, or perhaps some before others - Hence, we begin to re-experience them as relative, as constructions, and not absolutes - All living organisms have their own unique umwelt - These umwelts are all expressions of the sacred, sensing itself in different ways

      • What is required is a kind of awakening, or re-awakening
      • When religions do their job, it gives us a framework to engage in a shared sense of the sacred, of wonder in the mundane
      • In a sense, Deep Humanity is identifying that most vital commonality in all religions and seeing all their diverse intersectionalities in simply being deeply human
      • We awakened once, when we were born into the world
        • then we fell asleep through the dream of familiarity
      • Now, we have to collectively re-awaken to the wonder we all experienced in that initial awakening experience as newborns
    3. i think it's a near miss it's the most likely thing to save us

      for - quote - unfortunately, I think we need a near miss to wake us up - Ronald Wright

      comment - But the problem is that we can't count on that because it may very well be too late by then - Is the extreme weather events now happening regularly enough to wake us up?

    4. that calls for a new form of altruism plus a new form of asceticism

      for - rapid whole system change - a new form of asceticism - Ronald Wright - Give me liberty or give me death - degrowth challenges

      rapid whole system change - a new form of asceticism - We need something that can be higher than stripping away many of the liberties we take for granted? - This will be challenging because the American dream is based on the feeling and phrase "Give me liberty or give me death!"

      argument - progress trap - Agriculture appears to be a progress trap - Ronald Wright - The early progress traps have been comparatively small in scale - During the stone age, there were no more than a few million people alive (3 to 5 million?) and - they destroyed all the big game where humans lived - The Sumerians, with a population of around one million people salted up and destroyed the fertile land of Southern Iraq - Now we have 8 billion people and a third of them are starving - Our continuous technology development is what enables us to stave off the day of reckoning but - we are losing a Scotland-size worth of topsoil every year to - soil erosion - urban sprawl - We still face the possibility of collapse - Our species has existed for 5 to 6 million years and - civilization is an experiment that has only emerged about 10,000 years ago - It's still very possible for the experiment to fail

    6. if we fail to control our numbers and our appetites well then yes our society will start to to crash in a similar way to that of 00:35:32 easter island only on a worldwide scale and that means the whole industrial civilization will break down and 00:35:45 our descendants will essentially be uh savages to use that term very advisably and savages in the sense that they will have lost 00:35:58 the fruits of civilization and hate us

      for - progress trap - dark futures scenario - like Easter Island but on a global scale

      comment - The potential global breakdown of global industrialized society, rupturing supply chains so that our highly interdependent world becomes the very Achilles Heel that hastens its demise is chilling - It could mean a huge disruption to the most important aspect of civilization - the continuing accruing and inter-generational transmission of knowledge - It would be catastrophic to lose that, but it is entirely possible - As Wright himself famously said, to use a computer metaphor, we humans are like 50,000 year old hardware, running modern software - By that, he meant that our cognitive physiology (brain and sensory processing system) has not changed for tens of thousands of years, yet cultural evolution happens at exponentially faster rates, so much so that our biological systems are not adapted to keep up with the pace, and that spells disaster - When we no longer have the sensory or cognitive apparatus to sense danger, and we are offloading that to AI, we are in an extremely vulnerable situation

      progress trap - Gedanken - Think of our ancestors from 50,000 years ago. - What Wright is saying with his metaphor is that if that child from 50,000 years ago were transported by a time machine to modernity, (s)he would have little problem integrating into modern society - LIKEWISE, if we lose all the knowledge fruits of accumulated over so many thousands of years, it would be like being born into a human tribe 50,000 years ago. - We would likely still have language, but all our technology may have to start from scratch!

    7. one of the things i suggested in a short history of progress is that 00:30:18 one of our problems even though we're very clever as a species we're not wise

      for - key insight - progress trap - A Short History of Progress - we are clever but NOT wise!

      key insight - progress trap - A Short History of Progress - we are clever but NOT wise! - In other words - Intelligence is FAR DIFFERENT than wisdom

      new memes - We have an abundance of intelligence and a dearth of wisdom - A little knowledge is dangerous, a lot of knowledge is even more dangerous

      for - agriculture was invented in at least a dozen places around the world

(1) The filing by a registered elector of a written request with a board of elections or the secretary of state, on a form prescribed by the secretary of state and signed by the elector, that the registration be canceled.

    1. insulin resistance is actually 00:01:14 Downstream of something even more important that we will talk about called mitochondrial dysfunction

      for - health - insulin resistance - a symptom of mitochondria dysfunction

    1. we use relative risk reduction instead of absolute risk 00:26:45 reduction and it makes it look like there's a greater effect than there actually is

      for - medical deception - communicating relative risk instead of absolute risk is misleading and gives the appearance of a greater effect

    1. en mettant à leur disposition des outils adaptés, et en s’appuyant sur lesdispositifs existants : au sein de l’Éducation nationale (espaces parents, mallette desparents, Eduscol...), dans les Caisses d’Allocations familiales (CAF), les mairies, via lesmédiateurs de santé associatifs, etc.
    1. What is annotation as a genre? I think what he observed in the annotations was a wide range of reader responses, some highly engaging, others less clearly so.

      Comment by onewheeljoe: This question seems like it should be more specific to disciplines. What is annotation in the legal world? How about for scientists? For beginning readers?

      If I'm annotating a text to make meaning, that's different than if I'm a prof annotating a historical text to provide relevant background. The two notes have only their "noteness" in common, I'd say.

    1. tous les passagers dépourvus de Navigo doivent ici s'acquitter d'un billet à 10,30 € contrairement à toutes les nouvelles 00:02:13 stations de la 14 du coup nous on a eu une petite surprise on est arrivé donc on avait notre ticket de métro mais donc apparemment ça suffisait pas du coup pour passer les grilles donc là on va devoir payer un supplément donc de 10,30 00:02:26 € ça aurait été mieux en fait directement de prévenir déjà ce qu'on savait pas éviter sur la cul une deuxième fois pour reprendre un autre ticket c'est dommage qu' personne pour aider pour que ça aille plus vite quoi qu' a pas une telle queue on est un peu 00:02:36 abandonné là on se les bouill c'est ch c'est 40 € on comprend rien donc pas quoi faire il y a pas d'autre choix de toute façon c'est vraiment triste 43 € 43 € pour qu personnes oui c'est pas 00:02:49 très bien expliqué c'est une ligne de métro normale et on arrive au bout et là on charge 10 € de plus par personne pour rentrer avoir su encore une fois j'aurais pris un U relier
    1. les cartes double face et fabriquer des cartes doubles faces et les utiliser ça devrait être 00:16:17 une compétence de base qui est enseignée de LCP

    2. il y a des résultats très fondamentaux là-dessus ça aussi ça a été bien répliqué qui mériterait d'être 00:12:16 transmis aux élèves donc en gros quelle serait les grands messages mais là aussi enfin je peux pas toujours résumer en 20 minutes donc qu'est-ce qui qu'est-ce qui est important de transmettre l'idée les idées principales
    3. une bonne partie de la tâche d'apprentissage elle est déléguée aux élèves dans ce qu'ils vont faire à la maison avec leurs 00:07:28 devoirs et donc c'est important que les élèves aussi ils sachent comment apprendre et réviser une leçon et des connaissances et des compétences et donc ça c'est la connaissance qui est indispensable
    1. Afficher la liste par niveau, sur laquelle figurent les décisions prises par les commissions d’appel, pour chaqueélève concerné conformément à la décision.
    1. It's an interesting position and had me rethinking things a bit, but the way I look at it, the actions themselves are negative; it's their boundary conditions which are different. Take for instance embark/disembark. In pseudo-mathematical terms, I would tend to think they increment or decrement one's embarkedness, with an upper boundary of 1 (aboard), and a lower boundary of 0 (ashore). The non-existence of values >1 (super-aboard) or <0 (anti-aboard) shouldn't affect the relative polarity of the actions themselves. I think. Looking through the rest of the list, there's a variety of different boundary conditions. Prove/disprove would range from 1 to -1 (1=proven, 0=asserted but untested, -1=proven false), entangle/disentangle seems to range from 0 to infinity (because you can always be a little more entangled, can't you?), and please/displease is perhaps wholly unbounded (if we imagine that humanity has an infinite capacity for both suffering and joy).
    2. her first remark upon embarking would no doubt be "on a scale from one to on a boat, we're on a boat!
    3. I believe it is possible to disprefer something while either 1. not disliking it, or 2. liking it but not intensely enough to be the preference. As in, "I like tart apples, but I sometimes disprefer them as an ingredient on a green salad." It doesn't and hasn't, meant I would refuse to eat a salad with this ingredient included, but there are times when my preference would have been to have a salad without them.
    4. I think you linguists worry too much. It's a simple enough formation using a very common prefix, and while it is not clear whether "I disprefer" means "I do not prefer" or "I prefer something other than" or "I prefer the opposite of" or "I stop preferring", either it'll settle down to one meaning or it'll carry a range. So what? This is the first time I've heard the word but I don't find it particularly puzzling.
    5. Having read this, it appears that there is a reasonable consensus and, given that, I will probably add it to my vocabulary as it does fill a niche – but I'll be careful where and with whom I use it.
    6. There's a void — a need where a word should fit. There's a construction — a prefix and a root, which fit together to fill the void. Meaning is clear on first encounter. A need is met. What is the problem?
    1. le projet famille doit soutenir 00:20:49 les parents également dans leur rôle éducatif le projet il a pour but vraiment de répondre comme je viens de le dire donc aux problématiques des familles de développer des actions collectives de coordonner des actions et et de 00:21:01 services de soutien à la parentalité et de faciliter l'articulation des actions famillees
