Noosphere design principles

The idea maze2013-08-04

We think these superpeers strike a pragmatic balance that offers the performance and reliability of the cloud, and the resilience and credible exit of IPFS.

Decentralized over IPFS. Noosphere is peer-to-peer, making it a durable repository for human knowledge. Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe.

Local-first sync. Everything works seamlessly offline. Files can be synced live to your device.

Self-sovereign identity. Authentication happens through user-owned keys not ids, using UCAN.

User-owned data. Apps trap thoughts in SaaS silos. Noosphere fixes this. Everything is syndicated to IPFS, so you have credible exit through any IPFS node.

Worldwide knowledge graph. Noosphere is a massively-multiplayer shared graph made up of smaller public and private graphs.

normal is the greatest enemy with regard to creating the new in the way of getting around this is you have to 00:39:37 understand normal not as reality but just the construct and a way to do that for example is just travel to a lot of different countries and you'll find a thousand different ways of thinking the 00:39:51 world is real all of which are just stories inside of people's heads that's what we are to normal is just a construct in to the extent that you can see normal as a construct in yourself 00:40:02 you have freed yourself from the constraints of thinking that this is the way the world is because it isn't this is the way we are so changing people's minds is hard because of this

weak typing and strange classless objects

It is interesting, that no one mentioned the basic concept of javascript’s object oriented construct. There are multiple answers regarding the objects of javascript, but they are only the surface. Of course, the first I had to understand at the end of 90’s is, that there are no classes in javascript, just objects (yes, there are classes now, but classes are still a sort of syntactic sugar for easier development). This wasn’t that difficult, there are other languages having this solution, too. Later I went deeper to understand instantiation (if there are no classes, how does it work) and even inheritance. And I lost, slowly. As far as I remember I needed weeks to understand the whole concept of this prototype based OOP. And I found it cool :).232 views · View 1 upvote

go beyond what they know

by being open to changing one’s view, a person could enter a state of 'aporia' – a profound realisation of the depths of one’s ignorance – which, if submitted to, could then allow one to experience a state of 'ekstasis' – literally a “stepping out of one’s self” – which was the first stage in the emergence of a more authentic self.

has meaning at the time rather than abstract 00:25:25 fiats from somebody who is intolerant and says this is what we must do i think the first thing to say when people say this is what we must do is well maybe or maybe not

the way we make progress is not by cutting off the strain of life the stem from which 00:25:00 we grow and then finding ourselves with nothing to feed us and no idea of where we should be but it is from that growing flexible trainable organism that the 00:25:12 next steps come

the society was not just a a a an association of people but it was the association of those people now 00:24:19 with those who lived in the past and those who would come to live in the future which is why in many stable societies other than our own present one people pay attention 00:24:32 to what the elders thought to what um the traditions that they inherited have to say about this this means that instead of being like a rudderless ship that can be blown anyway by whatever wind happens to spring up they have some 00:24:46 point to refer to you

we don't see it in time we've we've time sliced time has become very thin it's this moment now where i am but 00:23:54 this moment came from many others and will lead to many others in the future in that sense it's more like a melody than anything else you don't make a melody we're putting together a note and another note but it's a flow

if we don't understand uh enmeshment with other living beings 00:23:29 including non-human beings i would say very very importantly and we so in space as it were we don't see ourselves as ramifying into 00:23:41 a hole which is larger than ourselves and knows more than we do

can't break out of this loop of virtuality

happiness actually comes from a sense of partly humility about what a human being can know and be not the sense that we know it all now 00:18:13 and as long as we have enough power to change things we will change them for better we don't know that

rule-bound and hobbled by policies and principles

i actually call the left hemispheres generated world a hall of mirrors because it doesn't see anything outside of what it itself has created

younger people losing their sense of joy aviv their sense of freedom and that for me seems 00:18:39 intimately linked to social media this sense that we're all on show we're kind of in some ways observing each other constantly moderating our behavior by what everyone else is doing so in this 00:18:52 sort of hall of mirrors that we've created do you think that's a big part of it

Rebel Wisdom Rebel Wisdom 244K subscribers Subscribed Iain McGilchrist has been outlining for many years that a fundamental problem in the way we are perceiving the world is likely to lead us into trouble. Now in 2022 he believes the situation is reaching a crucial turning point and we need to wake up urgently. In this conversation with Rebel Wisdom's David Fuller he talks about how our current culture's domination by a 'left brain', reductionistic, materialist and literalist perspective had reached crisis point. He explains how this is manifesting as a 'war on reality', and a series of attacks on free speech. Iain's work can be found here: https://channelmcgilchrist.com/

Migration Your identity in Peergos is not tied to any particular server. Compared to other federated social networks where moving server typically involves losing your social network and meta-data, if not data too, Peergos allows you to transparently migrate between servers and storage providers without any action required from your friends and without any data loss. This means, for example, you could start out by creating an account on our demo server which gives you a small amount of storage, then effortlessly migrate to a paid server, or to your own server when you realise how awesome Peergos is.

Secret links A secret link can be generated to point to any file or folder. Anyone with a (Javascript enabled) web browser can view such a link. This is a capability based link which includes the necessary key in the hash fragment of the url. A secret link doesn't expose the file to the network, or indeed to anyone who doesn't have the link itself because the key material isn't sent to the server.

public controversy could be 00:33:45 carried out more expeditiously if you read something that seems controversial you can ask if anybody's filed a reply and I was hoping that this together with 00:33:57 an author's ability to revise the original statement would lead people to converge on considered positions more quickly than at present even if they do not come to actual agreement and maybe 00:34:11 that's happened a little bit I'm still sort of hopeful for the future but I didn't see it 00:34:25 happening in this philosophy meeting um well to set up formally discussions of some controversial if you can find some 00:34:43 issue where there are yes or no sides then the yes nose might hit on considered positions as best they can by 00:34:57 by iteration and I so I'm not going to do it but you should do it

Liberalism believes in individualism 00:36:29 as we said earlier, that each one of us is an individual. We have this ray of light, this inner core which is individual. This is our real self. Well, according to the life sciences today there are no such things. All animals, including humans, are not individuals. They don't have souls. They don't have any essence. 00:36:53 They don't have any inner core. They are basically a collection of biochemical algorithms, all kinds of algorithmic systems that build the brain, that build the human beings, the giraffe, the elephant, whatever it is. And if you peel all the layers, all the systems that make up an animal, an organism like an onion, 00:37:16 you peel one layer after the other, one layer after the other, in the end you won't get an inner core of light, or a soul. You will get nothing. There is just nothing left when you take out all these different biochemical algorithms, nothing is left. There is no individual. Secondly, these biochemical algorithms that make up an organism are not free. 00:37:43 There is no such thing as freedom according to the life sciences. All systems in nature, including these biochemical algorithms, they work according to just two possible principles. Either they are deterministic or they are random. Perhaps some events on the quantum level 00:38:08 insert a certain randomness into the biochemical processes of our brain, of our nervous system, of our body, but that's it. The word "freedom" simply has no meaning in the life sciences of today. Taking these two ideas together that an organism, including Homo sapiens-- which is just another animal 00:38:32 like the chimpanzees, and giraffes, and so forth-- if an organism is just a collection of algorithms, and these algorithms are not free in any sense, this means that at least potentially an external system, an external entity can understand me perfectly. It just needs to understand all the algorithms that 00:38:55 come together to build this machine, this structure. And the crucial insight is that even our sensations, even our emotions, even our feelings, liberalism believes above all else in our feelings, how you feel about politics, about art, about sexuality, this is the holy grail of liberalism, our feelings. 00:39:23 But now come the life sciences and say, feelings? Feelings are just biochemical algorithms calculating what? Calculating either of two things, probabilities of survival and probabilities of reproduction. That's it. The Homo sapiens, like giraffes, like elephants, they are calculating all the time, all their body 00:39:47 is just a calculating machine for calculating probabilities of survival and reproduction. This, again, may sound a bit abstract. So I will give two simple examples. First of all, problems of survival. Let's say you are a baboon. And you are somewhere in the Savannah in Africa. And you see a tree with bananas on it.
