WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT?
I'm thinking about the innumerable gradations of an existence, its focuses, falls, the vertigo of waiting, the jars and amphorae of wine and oil at the bottom of the sea, alongside, sailors standing by, always vigilant, the popular saying goes: he who runs, tires; he who walks, catches up. Thinking hurts

Most people can pretty much guess what'll happen right after they do something. It's simple, and it keeps us out of trouble, but it also means we'll likely end up with the same #results as everyone else. Now, second-order thinking? That's when we're playing the long game and looking at the bigger picture. It means not just #thinking about what happens right away, but what happens down the road because of our actions. Forgetting those second and third-round effects? That's a recipe for disaster.

Evolution of Thought and the Uncanny Valley

In this AI episode -- starring Atomic Dave and AI research -- we dig into the idea of how thought and thinking has evolved over the last century and led us deeper into the Uncanny Valley.

Air. Thinking about what doesn't exist, and what we insist on. Thinking about the battering rams against the walls of memories, about civilizations that have created the germs of their own ruin, and about the Central Market, a beer at the "Bar do Mané Doido". No more threats, no more taxes.

Every Sunday I love to take 45 mins for myself for a "Thinking Session".
During these 45 mins I...:
- review my articles/books/podcasts highlights,
- go through the days of the past week for my weekly review,
- plan my future week/s.

Don't neglect time you spend to think and schedule your "Thinking Session".

I want to share something with you.
My therapist once told me, in regards to my relationship with my father:
“Like it or not, you have a relationship with your father. Everybody has a relationship with A father, even if they don’t have or ever had a father. Having a father is part of everyone’s psyche, therefore you have a relationship with a or your father. The only thing you need to do is define this relationship the best way it works for you. It doesn’t have to be ideal, it just needs to not jeopardize your life.”

The Covid pandemic highlighted a bunch of cognitive/conceptual limitations among Americans that ended up influencing public debate and response to the pandemic. Here's what I've noticed:
1. Not appreciating exponential growth (cartoon below from Jens von Bergmann).
2. Not distinguishing between individual and group-level risk assessment. (i.e. that behaviors with low individual risk can contribute to high risk for the community...for instance due to exponential growth.)
3. All or nothing thinking (that interventions only "work" if they eliminate all risk).
4. Not distinguishing between facts about the world and our response to those facts (also seen in climate change debates).
I'm sure there are more...

The left shows "Public Health" that starts with "Going down" at the beginning of the curve when case counts are low and growing slowly in absolute numbers, "under control" in the middle" and "OMG Exponential Growth" at the top when case counts are high and growing rapidly. The right panel shows "Scientists" and labels all parts of the curve as "exponential growth"

Recently, I discovered how much we overlook, not just about the world, but also about the full potential of our inner life, when our mind is cluttered. In a study published... I demonstrate that the capacity for original and creative thinking is markedly stymied by stray thoughts, obsessive ruminations and other forms of “mental load.” #focus #psychology #mindfulness #thinking #DecisionMaking https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/19/opinion/sunday/think-less-think-better.html

The relationships of trees.

These are beech trees in the Chilterns. So much variety. Many straight, tall, slender. Others massive and majestic. Some traumatised in their youth and shaped by that.

I don't know what motivated these two relatively young trees to grow towards each other and develope a tangle of branches so intertwined that it is hard to work out who is who. A joint venture, or a takeover bid?

Pale green canopy over rich red brown leaf litter forest floor. The trees are young - perhaps a few decades old. The two in the centre are straight to about fifteen or twenty feet and then send out lateral branches that meet and are entangled with intricate and re-entrant angles.

The more I read about Solarpunk as a genre...The more I realize some of my stories have worlds with similar themes. It's not a pure one to one, however, some shared traits are there. I'm not knowledgeable enough to actively attempt to write a Solarpunk story.

It's within the realm of possibility for me to get a general grasp of some ideas like permaculture, sustainable living, and smaller community style living situations. #thinking

Suggestive/vague thought of the morning: As a publisher & lay science-studies scholar, I have become more interested in gaining & providing access to *thinking* instead of knowledge.

Coming out of anthropology in particular, where the aim is more on discovery (of new interpretations/concepts) than on justification, this isn't an endorsement of open science, which is laser-focused on justification. I want to see people thinking, whether it leads to knowledge or not.

#introduction

I fight for the users.

I love programming and thinking and talking about thinking. I have an education (BS, MS, PhD) focused on artificial intelligence and neuroscience.

I'm an advocate of the public academic pursuit of knowledge, the scientific process, peer review, and I see open source software and hardware as an essential part of the scientific process.

I see software user rights, including security and privacy, to be protected mainly by free open source software, specifically software with a copyleft license, i.e. GPL or Mozilla.

I see the democratizing effects of the Internet, including distributed journalism and social networking, to be largely the effect of the collaborative development of free and open source software.

I am interested in free and open source manufacturing, including open source 3D printers and CNC machines. I believe open source manufacturing will be important for distributed manufacturing, allowing local manufacturing and local labor.

I see worker-owned coops as the way to safely transition from a non-democratic authoritarian top-down power structure of a traditional corporation to a democratic work environment, where the workers own the company and elect the board of directors, transitioning to democracy in the workplace.

I believe that socialism is a regulatory response to capitalism.

I believe that laws, money, corporations, and government are social agreements, and I'm in favor of democratic social agreements.

I believe in the organized non-violent boycott as a way to control capitalists and change corrupt systems.

I am a pacifist. I am against violence. I am against citizens keeping guns in cities and towns with children. I am against war.

I try to eat plant-based / vegan foods to boycott the animal industry, to help with the climate crisis, to improve my health, to avoid animal cruelty, and to avoid the extinction of species of plants, animals and ecosystems.

I have been diagnosed with Retinitus Pigmentosa, which is a disease of progressive retinal degeneration. I am legally blind, although I have about 5-degrees of vision remaining in my fovea. I'm interested in researching and developing BCIs (Brain-Computer Interfaces), specifically BCIs that function as vision prostheses that may help with conditions like RP, or the more common degenerative retinal disease AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration).

I enjoy playing computer games like Age of Empires and Rimworld. I used to program computer games when I was younger and would like to get back to it one day.

I love playing music, especially bass guitar. I've been listening to a lot of Rage Against the Machine and Enya recently.

I enjoy reading books, mostly non-fiction.

I enjoy studying religions. I've found a lot of value in Buddhism, and I meditate often daily.

Nina and I have recently had our first baby, a boy we named Tyoma.

I'm currently working at Apple on the Vision Pro headset team.

"wtf are ye doing to get infected? I’ve never once had covid..."

I wear as mask and have a HEPA filter at my desk at work. Haven't caught Covid or the flu since 2019. But that's me.

If you'd spent time reading about it, you would know many people are symptom free (about 10%?) even when infected, possibly able to infect others. About 10% get serious symptoms, but even with antivirals can experience symptoms for months afterwards.

You're lucky. Please don't assume your experience is average or typical. That's a cognitive bias.

Older people, convalescing people, and immunocompromised aren't lucky when they catch it.

Maybe you should keep your distance from people?

So much of what we believe is based on some authority figure telling us that something is true. As children, we learn to stop questioning when we’re told “Because I said so.” (More on this later.) As adults, we learn to stop questioning when people say “Because that’s how it works.”

A bridge between #pkm and #ToolsForThought could be useful. How are thinking and knowledge connected? How is knowledge gardening a tool for thinking? What about knowledge about thinking and tools for thinking? Tools for thinking about knowledge?

#knowledge #thinking

@ia Excellent article. AI is an ever growing cancer that infects “thinking”. If we dimish our capacity to write how does that affect our ability to read well? Ultimately how will AI create any unique originality or craft a valid question? It is the best of times, it is the worst of times. #AI #thinking #algorithms

@Jaden2 what saddens me is reading this from you.

18 years old and representing the new/next #generation of #leaders and it sounds as if you've lost all hope.

Not that I disagree mind you, I have little hope in #Australia #politically speaking because there's no one to teach kids #critical #thinking which I'm #assuming is an issue for you guys as well.

I hope you find something to trust in and #believe in and offer to others as some sort of hope for the future but until #guns are not available to every moron with a bone to pick, I feel your pain.

@hrheingold I think the #thinking part has been a bit overdone. Maybe we should move on to not thinking about the #not-thinking ...

What are good references for thinking about #thinking ?

Although the emphasis is shifting from just the tools part of #ToolsForThought the time is ripe for more work/thought/research around the "thought" part. I got a small start by sketching out a mindmap of #thinking

"Stupidity has two features that make it particularly dangerous when compared with other vices. First, unlike character flaws, stupidity is primarily a property of groups or traditions, not individuals: after all, we get most of our concepts, our mental tools, from the society we are raised in."
