    2. supposing I was a writer, say, for a newspaper or for a magazine. I could create content in one language, FreeSpeech, and the person who's consuming that content, the person who's reading that particular information could choose any engine, and they could read it in their own mother tongue, in their native language

    3. when you want to use Google, you go into Google search, and you type in English, and it matches the English with the English. What if we could do this in FreeSpeech instead? I have a suspicion that if we did this, we'd find that algorithms like searching, like retrieval, all of these things, are much simpler and also more effective, because they don't process the data structure of speech. Instead they're processing the data structure of thought

    6. there were a group of scientists that were trying to understand how the brain processes language, and they found something very interesting. They found that when you learn a language as a child, as a two-year-old, you learn it with a certain part of your brain, and when you learn a language as an adult -- for example, if I wanted to learn Japanese

    1. improvisation, to me, is something that some people are very fearful of, when they think about going up and just speaking on the fly. But in actuality, you're doing it all the time. A conversation that you're having with a friend is improvisation, unless it's scripted, and that would be a weird friendship

    3. for - Youtube - Tukdam talk - An Overview Of Center for Healthy Minds at University of Wisconsin-Madison (CHM)’s Work On “Well-Being And Tukdam” - Prof. Richard J. Davidson - wellbeing - clear light meditation, meditation at time of death - Tukdam

      summary - Professor Davidson speaks on the subject of Tukdam, the Tibetan practice of meditation at the time of death practiced by Tantric practitioners - He contextualizes it in the framework that all sentient beings are sacred, and have the capacity for unfolding the intrinsic sacred that each of us is born with - Davidson's team explores the impact of meditation and mindfulness practices on human health and wellbeing and have formulated a wellbeing framework with four pillalrs - Deep Humanity - impacts of meditation - meditation at time of death

    4. he earliest we've been able to get to a case of tukdam is 26 hours after a practitioner has died so we've missed the first full day and there is some reason to believe that that first 24-hour period is is going to be very very important

      for - trivia - measuring tukdam after death - 24 hour period immediately following death is important but to date, no data captured - Youtube - Tukdam talk - An Overview Of CHM’s Work On “Well-Being And Tukdam” - Prof. Richard J. Davidson

    5. the body of a practitioner in tukdam does not decompose uh in the same way that a body of a normal person who is not in tukdam does and so uh we've had cases up to 38 days uh inam where the body remains quite preserved uh fresh uh without any smell uh and um with the skin still very pliable and no um Rigamortis

      for - clear light meditation - Tukdam at time of death - results so far - studied 20 cases - in all cases body doesn't decompose like a normal person's body does at death - Youtube - Tukdam talk - An Overview Of CHM’s Work On “Well-Being And Tukdam” - Prof. Richard J. Davidson

    6. his Holiness um uh his Holiness uh made the request that we investigate tokam and I believe that one of uh his interests his Holiness his interest in studying took down is because this represents a real challenge to Western science because uh uh the suggestion in the traditional Tibetan texts is that there is a subtle quality of awareness that is still present even after the conventional Western definition of death after the heart has stopped beating after the breathing has stopped there they're said to be uh this subtle quality of awareness uh this clear light stage that is still present

      for - meditation - Tukdam clear light meditation at time of death - research motivation from HH Dalai Lama - Youtube - Tukdam talk - An Overview Of CHM’s Work On “Well-Being And Tukdam” - Prof. Richard J. Davidson

      Summary - His Holiness Dalai Lama requested the research so that science could validate what Tibetan practitioners have known for a long time, that there is still an awareness present in the advanced meditator even after death has occurred - this is the Tukdam "clear light" meditation practice.

    7. in our work on well-being we have formulated a framework for understanding the key pillars or the key components of well-being

      for - mindfulness meditation research - 4 pillars of wellbeing - Youtube - Tukdam talk - An Overview Of CHM’s Work On “Well-Being And Tukdam” - Prof. Richard J. Davidson

      summary - four pillars of wellbeing - 1 awareness - 2 connection - 3 insight (of the nature of self) - 4 purpose (intention)

    8. the fourth pillar of well-being we call purpose

      for - fourth of four pillars of wellbeing - purpose - finding it in our everyday life here and now - Youtube - Tukdam talk - An Overview Of CHM’s Work On “Well-Being And Tukdam” - Prof. Richard J. Davidson - comparison - intention vs attention

      comment - Davidson does not provide much rich commentary on purpose, although it is quite an important idea to consider. - Intention is synonymous with purpose - The reason we consider the word intention instead is that we can compare to attention - intention - purpose or focus direction of future work (fourth pillar) - attention - focus awareness (first pillar) - Both of these acts are acts of constraining from the infinite field of our reality to a very narrow one - intention - among the infinite things I CAN do, I choose to do THIS specific one - attention - among all the infinite things I can sense, I choose to sense THIS specific one

    9. research shows that it's not so much about changing the narrative that is important but it is changing our relationship to this narrative so that we can see the narrative for what it is which is really a constellation of thoughts

      for - illusion of self narrative / construction - third pillar - insight - key insight on insight! - not about CHANGING NARRATIVES - but about PENETRATING THE NARRATIVE to understand its essence - - Youtube - Tukdam talk - An Overview Of CHM’s Work On “Well-Being And Tukdam” - Prof. Richard J. Davidson

    10. the third pillar we call Insight

      for - third of four pillars of wellbeing - insight - a curiosity driven knowledge of the self - Youtube - Tukdam talk - An Overview Of CHM’s Work On “Well-Being And Tukdam” - Prof. Richard J. Davidson

      comment - this insight is specifically about the nature of self as a narrative construction imposed upon a constellation of changing thoughts and emotions - when we gain the insight that the solid-appearing self is constructed on emptiness, research shows that this insight sets the stage for wellbeing to emerge

    11. his Holiness reminds us that the seeds of compassion are often in the relationship between a child and his mother excuse me that a mother provides for the child provides kindness and uh care for the child and represents this early seed of compassion

      for - adjacency - compassion / kindness - early model - HH Dalai Lama - Deep Humanity - mOTHER - Youtube - Tukdam talk - An Overview Of CHM’s Work On “Well-Being And Tukdam” - Prof. Richard J. Davidson

    12. we think of kindness and compassion in a way that's very similar to the way scci other scientists think about language

      for - comparison / key insight - compassion is like language (and also like genetics) - every infant has the biological capacity for these - Youtube - Tukdam talk - An Overview Of CHM’s Work On “Well-Being And Tukdam” - Prof. Richard J. Davidson

      comparison / key insight - compassion is like language (and also like genetics) - compassion, like language and genetics is intrinsic to our human nature. Every newborn comes into the world with the biological capacity for kindness/compassion, language and for genetic expression. However, - how we actually turn out as adults depends on what variables exist in our environment - If we have a compassionate mOTHER, our Most significant OTHER, she will teach us compassion - just like a child raised in a community of other language speakers in the environment will enable the child to cultivate the language capacity and - without a community of language speakers, a feral infant will grow up not understanding language at all - a healthy environment triggers beneficial epigenetic processes - Again, the chinese saying is salient: (hu)man on earth, good at birth. The same nature, varies on nurture

      to - feral children - Youtube - https://hyp.is/go?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdocdrop.org%2Fvideo%2FTKaS1RdAfrg%2F&group=world - Chinese saying: (hu)man on earth, good at birth.

    13. it confirms something found in the Buddhist tradition uh which is this notion of innate basic goodness that all human beings are born with Buddha nature we all have the seeds of kindness within us and scientific research strongly confirms that this is true

      for - everyone is sacred - everyone has Buddha Nature - different ways of saying - Youtube - Tukdam talk - An Overview Of CHM’s Work On “Well-Being And Tukdam” - Prof. Richard J. Davidson - poverty mentality - Chinese saying: (hu)man on earth, good at birth. The same nature, varies on nurture

      everyone is sacred - different ways of saying it - We are all born with Buddha nature - We are all born with innate goodness - Chinese saying: (hu)man on earth, good at birth. The same nature, varies on nurture - Not seeing this, we fall into poverty mentality, and all the associated forms of suffering it brings

    19. all of us are born with a sequence of base pairs that constitute our DNA and for the most part that will not change over the course of your lifetime but what will change is the extent to which any Gene is turned on or turned off

      for - explanation - epigenetics and health / wellbeing - Youtube - Tukdam talk - An Overview Of CHM’s Work On “Well-Being And Tukdam” - Prof. Richard J. Davidson

      explanation - epigenetics and health - Richard J. Davidson gives a simple and clear explanation of the connection between epigenetics and health / wellbeing - We are born with DNA that won't change much over the course of a lifetime - However, many of those genes are not active but can be rapidly activated by environmental cues such as emotions, chemical signals, etc

    20. what we have found quite remarkably is that when a person trains their mind their well-being improves and their brain changes uh and not just the brain but many other things in their mind and body also change

    1. but people wanting to take projects on that can produce things in the world that get things done.

      for - similarity - not just talk, make an impact

      similarity - not just talk, make an impact - I think many of us are of like-mind. Surveying the precarity of the current polycrisis, there is immense complexity and very little time - Given these challenging circumstances, it behooves us to perform very careful sense-making to identify both the individual and the collective leverage points that will have the greatest impact in the shortest time - This also means we have to be careful of which groups we choose to work with as an optimal set of synergies is required if the group is to have possibility of reaching the greatest impact collectively

        • Talk about the planet,

      -00:37:00 - We have accelerating positive feedbacks and if we coordinate policy changes with consumer behavior change and business behavior change to reinforce these positive feedbacks, we can help accelerate change in the other sectors of the global economy responsible for all the other emissions

        • in the report we walk you through the other sectors, where their tipping points are and how we have to act to trigger them. This is the only viable path out of our situation.

        • Positive tipping points can also reinforce each other
        • Question: Are there maps of the feedbacks of positive tipping points?
        • Tim only discusses economic and technological positive tipping points and does not talk about social or societal

    1. Youmust apprehend the unity with definiteness. There is only oneway to know that you have succeeded. You must be able totell yourself or anybody else what the unity is, and in a fewwords. ( If it requires too many words, you have not seen theunity but a multiplicity. ) Do not be satisfied with "feeling theunity" that you cannot express. The reader who says, "I knowwhat it is, but I just can't say it," probably does not even foolhimself.

      Adler/Van Doren use the statement of unity of a work as an example of testing one's understanding of a work and its contents.

      (Again, did this exist in the 1940 edition?)

      Who do McDaniel and Donnelly 1996 cite in their work as predecessors of their idea as certainly it existed?


      Examples in the literature of this same idea/method after this: - https://hypothes.is/a/TclhyMfqEeyTkQdZl43ZyA (Feynman Technique in ZK; relationship to Ahrens) - explain it to me like I'm a 5th grader - https://hypothes.is/a/BKhfvuIyEeyZj_v7eMiYcg ("People talk" in Algebra Project) - https://hypothes.is/a/m0KQSDlZEeyYFLulG9z0vw (Intellectual Life version) - https://hypothes.is/a/OyAAflm5Ee6GStMjUMCKbw (earlier version of statement in this same work) - https://hypothes.is/a/iV5MwjivEe23zyebtBagfw (Ahrens' version of elaboration citing McDaniel and Donnelly 1996, this uses both restatement and application to a situation as a means of testing understanding) - https://hypothes.is/a/B3sDhlm5Ee6wF0fRYO0OQg (Adler's version for testing understanding from his video) - https://hypothes.is/a/rh1M5vdEEeut4pOOF7OYNA (Manfred Kuenh and Luhmann's reformulating writing)

    1. can we build one of these kinds of shapes for animal communication
      • for: question, question - universal meaning shape for animal communication

      • comment

        • this would be an amazing project for TPF and BEing journeys. Could we actually talk to animals and plants to ask them about how we humans are treating them?
    1. The reading group processed the words perceptually, while the generating group processed them semantically – they had to retrieve from memory words with a particular meaning.

      Reading aloud promotes semantic encoding (understanding meaning, and recalling from memory).

      To recall - semantic meaning must already be embedded?

    1. Psychologists have only seriously begun analyzing self-talk in the last couple of decades, and here’s what we know:1) Positive self-talk improves performance in most sports.2) Questions like “Will I do this?” produce better results than statements like “I will do this.”3) Using “we” in self-talk is better than using “I.”4) Talking about yourself in third person is more effective than talking in first person.5) Both motivational (“I will do this!“) and instructional (“See the target…straighten elbows…lock onto target…“) self-talk seems to be effective in enhancing performance.

      How to talk to yourself! Positive Self - talk and motivation are best executed when done this:

      1) Positive self-talk improves performance in most sports.

      2) Questions like “Will I do this?” produce better results than statements like “I will do this.”

      3) Using “we” in self-talk is better than using “I.”

      4) Talking about yourself in third person is more effective than talking in first person.

      5) Both motivational (“I will do this!“) and instructional (“See the target…straighten elbows…lock onto target…“) self-talk seems to be effective in enhancing performance.

    1. YouTube doesn’t give an exact recipe for virality. But in the race to one billion hours, a formula emerged: Outrage equals attention.

      Talk radio has had this formula for years and they've almost had to use it to drive any listenership as people left radio for television and other media.

      I can still remember the different "loudness" level of talk between Bill O'Reilly's primetime show on Fox News and the louder level on his radio show.

    1. Make sure students can reach out to you privately to let you know if anything about the experience was uncomfortable for them.

      I think this is something really important for students to know that they can always reach out to their instructors and feel safe talking to them of whether they are comfortable or not in doing a social activity or other. Assuring students about letting them know they can talk to their instructor just overall makes the student feel more safe and calm. Being allowed to give the instructor a heads up about how they feel about their experience may help them on the next one.

    1. ...problem is combining WYSIWIG with Markdown: that can't ever work well, you need a small toggle to let users choose toggle/choose between WYSIWIG (default) and Markdown, and have it remember the last setting the user used.Best for new users and advanced ones.If you have BOTH in one editor it's like you've built some kind of Vim-like UI that randomly jumps between modes, it will confuse the shit out of everybody all the time!
    1. Please change "Adrianna Salvatierra" as acting president to "Jeanine Áñez". I don't understand why this keeps getting reverted. Coming from a Bolivian user myself who literally just made an account to edit this - Adrianna Salvatierra resigned on November 10th, thus discluding her from the presidential line of succession. Since the vice-president, president of the Senate (Salvatierra), and the first vice-president of the Senate have resigned too, Jean Áñez (the second vice-president the Senate of Bolivia) is next in line.

    1. In 2007, Wikipedia introduced three templates to reduce the proliferation of templates at the top of article talk pages: {{WikiProjectBannerShell}}, {{WikiProjectBanners}}, and {{ArticleHistory}}. If you come across a talk page where you can't see the table of contents until you scroll down, adding one of these templates might help. If one or more of these templates are already in place, consider putting {{skiptotoctalk}} at the very top of the page, before any other templates. This template provides a quick link for other editors to bypass the templates.

    1. A creative communicator expresses themselves clearly and concisely through digital media

      It is sometimes difficult to interpret what someone is saying through technology, so it is important to be fully aware of how and what you are saying to people through technology.

    1. Give yourself a little time to practice and feel comfortable with your talk, then try to do the whole recording in one take without stopping

      By trial and error, I really came to the conclusion that this is really the way it should be.
