Are they -finally, sinceresly- looking to us? Did they remember that we exist? I knew about Mr Negroponte´s interests and concern about emerging economies since long ago, it is the bunch of first class tech corporations following him what suprises me (gladly). Hope this turns out fine and has a true good impact in our world as a whole. But... I have two questions... banging me: 1) What will be

Steve's post, Thank for the Memory, a recent discussion about easy access to documents on the Net and one of the traditional predictions for the New Year driven a special interestof mine to surface. It would be nice to collect your opinions on the subject. First of all, read Steve's post. I think that what allowed the connexion of the two subjects was : The issue though, is not the amount of

Soulgroup "Ecstasy does not repeat its symbols; there are some who have seen God in a splendor, there are those who have perceived it in a sword or in the circles of a rose. I saw a high Wheel, that was not in front of my eyes, neither behind, nor beside, but everywhere at one time. That Wheel was made of water, but of fire as well, and it was (even though its border was visible) infinite.

orkut - eclectic´s community - "Freedom" discussion A long discussion on the definition and meaning of freedom introduced and followed enthusiastically by a new member, Waleed, =) has been putting most of the active members to think and make a contribution about any of the aspects that a question about "freedom" can evoke. One of these subjects brought up to the table was the limits on freedom

Do you sometimes wonder, where do people have their heads at? The Word Tracker Report is a well known and a must have resource for people who do business on the internet. Among their variety of servicies, they feature lists of the 200 or 300 top words searched in the internet within the last month or the last 24 hs et ceteras... They retrieve these data from the most important Metacrawlers (

Geneticist worked hard to prove that races didn't exist otherwise then a social behavior based on superficial phenotypic variations of minor importance. As the resolution of reading of the genome was increased, and data collected world-wide, geneticists worked hard to show individual reaction to medication, seeking for markers allowing evaluation of the efficiency of a treatment on individual

PsychoKinesis is the ability to influence physical experiments with your mind. e. g. You choose head or tail, then I toss a coin and you influence the coin to give what you choosed. RetroPsychoKinesis is the same thing, but backwards in time. e. g. I toss a coin and hold it in my hand, then I ask you to choose and you influence the coin IN THE PAST. There is a project to study it and find if it

I was "working" a path through our recent discussions about AIs, levels of information and co-evolution and I encountered and interesting landscape. As we know them, supports of Artificial pre-intelligent hardware/software assemblies are made in such a way it is quite easy to dump them, clone them in fact. Even for my laptop, a monthly full backup and daily partial ones, warranty that I could

I thought it might be important to address the issue of cooperation vs. competition in a new post, rather than continue it in the limited consciousness post. There I brought up the importance of realizing that evolution and all the "living systems" (micro to macro) with which we are intricatly connected and participate with has been dependent on processes of cooperation as opposed to competition.

Little something relating to friendly AIs thread, but on others too so I thought I'll make a new thread for it. Axiom 1: The universe can be seen as information. The amount of information, the fineness of it, has been increasing since the beginning. While we can not say anything definite on the reason of this, we could postulate that the Universe wants to evolve. Axiom 2: New levels of finer

I resemble Bill´s topic title on Limited Imagination because this question arouse in my head while reading attentively what you are saying at that thread. The question is: What if the constitution of our intelligence / mind / conciousness -what we use to learn, think, feel, remember and create, the SOFTWARE that runs the Brain, but at the same time is built by it with adjustment, expandings,

Steve ask the question "Can friendly AI evolve?". I would like to comment on that, lengthly, so I decided to set a topic here, as he is around and this seems to be an Eclectic Thinkers topic. First of all, the "us vs them " attitude is somehow overdone. There are people willing to create AIs with build-in evolution potential allowing even for confrontation with NIs (for Natural Intelligences).

Very simple to understand what I mean to do opening this topic. I consider myself a quotaholic. Almost Fetiche that of saying something with other person´s words just for the pleasure of using quotation marks. It feels better to the eye, and sounds better too. So I bookmark and archive quotes everywhere. Frustration goes hand in hand with achievement... Certainly, I have tons of quotes but not

Hi! This link: The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity that Bill posted at Orkut in the "Life, definition" discussion, I have found it very interesting and a trigger of a common place in my conversation with friends. Generally, when a proper talk give space to it, I ask the following question: "What do you prefer? Damage caused by stupid or evil people?(on you, close people or things, or just in

DNA testing made it easy to discover paternity in cases there is doubts. But there is a case where biotech is of no help and I would like to collect your opinions. Mine is already made, but new arguments could change it. So : Author MC describe in one of his books a character named MRS, inspired by a real lady, MFT. A few years later, MFT drops her real name and plan to publish a new book (her
