Pondering the Post-Modern Self: On Cracking the Code!

...Where not even the real You can live up to Your Online Profile (the Advert for You the "Product"), because it's more real than real!  It's HYPER-real!

We're ALL Becoming Visceral!

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!

The Late-Capitalist Discourse has progressed from issuing an imperative "injunction to Enjoy" to an imperative "injunction to experience perpetual Ecstasy"!

No wonder we're all so FOMO!  No wonder so many wish we could Sever our real Working Selves from Our Hyper-real Non-Working Lives
No Wonder Our Real Working Selves Burn-Out Supporting Our Non-Working Hyper-real Lives!

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? ;-)

That's why you must use "antifragile" materials or allow for the ship of Theseus to be constantly "repaired"... or better, repair itself.

Yep!

That's why technology of Evolution itself, which achieved it -- is our next goal. ;-)

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.

That means that Ergodic Hipothesis (means, Evolition) is the right answer -- everything will happen, just give to it enough time. ;-p

Emerson, "Conduct of Life; Beauty"
The 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?

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.

...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.

...all parts of any human system are comprised of desiring machines.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Lacan 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".

Bioactive compounds in food, like flavonoids (apigenin and luteolin), can modulate mRNA splicing, influencing how genes are transcribed into proteins.
Dietary 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.
