New Civilization News: Never repeated too often: Vigilance is the price of freedom! |
Category: Philosophy 8 comments 9 Jul 2006 @ 18:43 by vaxen : Finally!" Learning is a form of re-membering." --- http://csc.media.mit.edu/ 9 Jul 2006 @ 19:13 by joda : learning trap One has to learn what to unlearn. Not only that, one has to learn how to unlearn. To discern what knowledge rips a hole into the web of illusions and what knowledge weaves yet another trap - it requires even more learning. It seems that high level of abstraction saves us a lot of trouble, but to perform proper complexity reduction one has to...learn. Again :( So, is there any way to escape 'learning'? 10 Jul 2006 @ 12:40 by heimdall @129.27.233.132 : Forgotten Knowledge I am currently "playing" with a topological model in which all knowledge can be represented as a huge (probably countably infinite) set of "nodes" which are all connected with each other. Any group can be considered a super-node. Some of these connections represent "common associations" and therefore build very strong chains, some are completely thinned out (blocked, forgotten, ...). In such a system you can easily create self-reinforcing structures, vicious circles, traps, or other "inconsistent" structures that can only survive by exclusion of other areas (but can collapse upon further inspection, leading to key-outs, reality shocks etc.). You can even create triangles "on top" of single nodes and super-nodes. Now everything that you learn adds some "weight" to certain connections. Sometimes entire "forgotten" structures are thus reactivated, "re-implanted" if you wish. Sometimes the learned material can add too much weight, resulting in "close-minded" fixed ideas, postulates, prejudices, traps, ... In this model I think the "key" is simply to create an even distribution of all connections which results in freedom of the mind, or ultimate transcendence. But that sounds a bit vague for an isomorphic representation of "reality", doesn't it? I have no idea whether this makes sense to you, or you might have considered it already a long time ago... in any case I am looking forward to your feedback. :-) 10 Jul 2006 @ 12:53 by mx @200.171.190.51 : topology of knowledge Heimdall, your description sounds very much like the direction I am going. In the 80's I developed a system called 'ConCur' to that extent, postulationg that 'everything' could be represented in such a 'Concur'. I think therefore, you are on the right track! :-) 13 Jul 2006 @ 08:33 by lucky @82.58.91.129 : like a child The purity of a child between 3-6 years old sounds like part of your description. One can see the eyes of that child without too much "learning" but with a deep happiness and wisdom. Someone said "Be and live like a child". 21 Jul 2006 @ 22:01 by Ettsem @72.141.21.9 : Response to Forgotten Knowledge A representation of knowledge with nodes and weightings and interesting topology? Are you talking about the Internet or the brain? Interesting how that works. 13 Apr 2016 @ 23:02 by AHMED @156.205.2.113 : https://www.alrayyanclean.com شركة تنظيف بالرياض شركة تنظيف منازل بالرياض شركة تنظيف فلل بالرياض شركة تنظيف خزانات بالرياض شركة رش مبيدات بالرياض شركة كشف تسربات المياه بالرياض شركة تنظيف مجالس بالرياض شركة جلى بلاط بالرياض شركة تنظيف واجهات زجاج بالرياض شركة تنسيق حدائق بالرياض شركة دهانات بالرياض شركة عزل اسطح بالرياض شركة نقل اثاث بالرياض شركة تنظيف بالرياض شركة جلى بلاط بالرياض Phone: 0555618071 29 Apr 2016 @ 08:53 by Bandar Togel @103.12.162.4 : brilliant!
