Somehow, I don't think that this was what Nietzsche was going for when he described the emergence of UberMensch or a 'G-d that could Dance'! It's more like the post-Last Man!

Please. I spent my life helping to build computers. I'm not going to spend my time pushing ropes. Brains are not computers. If they were, computers would be conscious.
And? Do infusorias have one? ;-)
Emerson, "Conduct of Life; Beauty"
DeleteThe spiral tendency of vegetation infects education also. Our books approach very slowly the things we most wish to know. What a parade we make of our science, and how far off, and at arm's length, it is from its objects! Our botany is all names, not powers: poets and romancers talk of herbs of grace and healing; but what does the botanist know of the virtues of his weeds? The geologist lays bare the strata, and can tell them all on his fingers: but does he know what effect passes into the man who builds his house in them? what effect on the race that inhabits a granite shelf? what on the inhabitants of marl and of alluvium?
Well.
DeleteI tell you about a way how to grok it, all such things...
but you neglecting it.
Go figure.
Yawn.
Me too. You know when a catepillar dissolves its' own brain to metamorphize into butterfly? Where does all that learned "catepillar" info go
DeleteLearned?
DeleteWhat it gonna learn?
If don't like infusorias, what about splinter kids???
DeleteYou know, orphans rised by dogs or et .
Do THEY have conscioness? Human consciocness
Leaned... through training by experimenters. They "remember" their training.... through "brain melting".
Delete...if you lack language you lack consciousness?... or it "organizes" in other ways? What schizo-analysis is for is over-coming the organizational language structure of consciousness. The "unconscious" is that un-language-organized differentially organized consiousness. Animal consciousness. Why Oedipus' sphinx jumped into the abyss...
DeleteThe brain is a desiring machine comprised of smaller desiring machines who contribute their outputs to a larger "organized" consciousness... organized around a different intelligence that solves different problems... but contribute their "drives" to it... aka 'Stress".
DeleteThe relief you feel when you take a piss.... that's "them" talking to you, saying "thanks" through pleasure.
Delete...like after you scratch an itch.
DeleteYou "feel" it through the unconscious comms.
DeleteQuestion of consciousness is totally moot.
DeleteOn that background that we dunno about other things
Consiousness is a collectivity, and not entirely "linguistically" based.
DeleteWell.
DeleteLike I was claiming anything opposing it???
Yawn.
A point of comparison, conscious or not.... so I guess it is moot.

Yep!

DeleteProbablistic vs. Deterministic machines for decision making?
DeleteWhat kind of "reaction time" is being imposed environmentally? ... probably sets the cycle-time.
Delete...much as Maslow's "Need Hierarchy" sets reaction priorities for both subjects and "marketers" to subjects (VALS).
DeleteElon Musk "microdosing" to alter the chemical flows and create new Conscious information integrations" that surpass the boundaries of repression and desire... and Oedipal categorical structures... Psychodelics... Opiums.... layers of consciousness (IIT)... temporary "schizoid" states?

Ubi nihil vales - "Wherein you have no power, therein you should not will"
From desire comes Goal. From goal comes Will.
And never other way.
Self-citing: "Those who have money -- have no ideas. Those who have ideas -- have no money" (and no power)
How many billioneires-inventors do you know???
Inventors -- always are poor and hungry fellows in their dusty small cabins.
From desire comes Goal. From goal comes Will
DeleteAh, but where does "desire" come from... and their Objet 'a (object causes of desire)? ...and their underlying "Drives"?
I don't think Woz ever made a billion... Steve Jobs made all the money.
Delete//Ah, but where does "desire" come from...
DeleteDo you really wanna know it?
Or just want to have it as Eternal Question?
And... Woz still alive, isn't it?
As that priverb saying -- "alive jackal are better then dead lion"
Modern day alchemists... never quite in gold.
DeleteBetter a living alchemist than a dead billionaire. :(
Delete....George Soros, "The Alchemy of Finance"
DeleteOh wait, Soros is still alive...
Delete...and he's still an alchemist.
Delete...one who desires "money". "power". ...and eternal possession of a life of money and power for himself and his kids.
DeleteDesires are fleeting... yawn.
Deletedesires change and are exchanged the moment they are satisfied. Apollo and Daphne (Bernini sculpture)... Apollo catches her and she changes into a tree (Dryad)
DeleteDesires build and take priority through "drives" like sex/ hunger.
DeleteThey're "demands" from the cell and organ collective intelligences.
DeleteDemands through chemically-organized intelligent networks in the unconscious (not a language-organized intelligence network).
DeleteUnconscious doesn't mean Unintelligent.
DeleteBioactive compounds in food, like flavonoids (apigenin and luteolin), can modulate mRNA splicing, influencing how genes are transcribed into proteins.
DeleteDietary components can trigger genetic switches, affecting the amount of a specific gene product produced.
Specific foods, like teas, soy, herbs, curcumin, cruciferous vegetables, purple grapes, and garlic, are associated with activating genes that support cellular health.
RNA Modifications:
Nutrition can influence RNA methylation, a process where methyl groups are added to RNA, which can alter its function without changing the underlying DNA sequence.
Studies have shown that diet can affect RNA methylation levels in different tissues, suggesting a link between nutrition and RNA modifications.
;p
Yap.
DeleteEverything complicated there.
BTW, interesting development at DiBi's place.
ReplyDeleteAt last simeone questioning his hipocrisy. And even in group. ;-)
That means that Ergodic Hipothesis (means, Evolition) is the right answer -- everything will happen, just give to it enough time. ;-p
Every Chaucerian tale has its' quite... and re-quite! Until then, it lies unrequited.
Deleteps -Ergodic hypothesis are extremely difficult to construct ab ovo. It's why human social lives begin In medias res.
Delete//ps -Ergodic hypothesis are extremely difficult to construct ab ovo.
DeleteThat's why ecactly I stating as a firm fact -- that you don't get what computers is.
Yawn.
They are Erhodic Machines exactly.
from Wiki:
DeleteLimitations:
It's important to note that the ergodic hypothesis is not always true in real-world systems, and its validity depends on the specific system and its dynamics.
computer: brain :: p:np
Delete...and no, I don't think that I think of computers like you do.
Deleteand human brains, cells, etc... are "desiring machines". What do they desire? Immortality... or reproduction.

Only what medieval map scribers -- about land they was dunno about they was boldly stating "there living people with dog heads" or "there living dragons".
And such a bullshit perpetuates till today -- people refer to such things and say " see??? dragons exist".)))

Again.

Does a computer "feel" the electricity that flows through it. Do the "parts' that comprise the computer "feel" good when electricity flows through them? Does it "satisfy" the microprocessor, resistor, and capacitors needs (organs in a computer)?
DeleteDo the parts of a computer self-organize into a computer?/
DeleteWho said? Gilles Deleuze & Felix Guattari.
Delete...all parts of any human system are comprised of desiring machines.
DeleteLacan was considered a "Structuralist"... everything is organized around language'signs/symbols/"signifiers" and "signified". In other words "oedipally". Deleuze and Guattari are Anti-oedipal Schizo-analysts. They wrote a book to refute Structuralism (and modern psychoanalysis) called "Anti-Oedipus".
DeleteWatch the video or read my partial transcript <a href='https://farmersletters.blogspot.com/2025/03/on-felix-guattaris-cinema-of-desire.html">here</a>... desiring machines chained together creating "flows" based upon an organizing structure. Rhizomes. Deterritorialization. Lines of flight. Reterritorialization.
