It is Important to Remember...

The other day I was feeling like nothing was happening, that I'm not getting anywhere, and  there were few prospects.  Then it occurred to me that I have done a lot of things and I shouldn't forget it.  The spark that was is still there.  I thought to write it down.  And then I added a few more.

It is important to remember ...
  • All you have achieved.
  • What is not important.
  • What is important.
  • Your goals, and to form new ones.
  • Your friends; they are the shadows of your personality.
  • Your childhood; all you are is rooted there.
  • Your parents; their signature is a goodly part of you.
It is important to..
  • Enjoy living.
  • Exercise your mind and body.
  • Love much; hate not too much.
  • Help out, when you can.
  • Have favorite things.
  • Honor and appreciate your friends.
  • Forget grudges, even if you can't forgive them.
  • Drive on calmly, despite all the morons on the road.
  • Keep your tank full.
  • Listen to good music.
  • Know a few really good jokes.
  • Read a lot in wide venues.
  • Have a personal philosophy.
  • Have faith and beliefs; they form powerful mental capacities.
  • Enjoy, love, and respect your children - even like them.
  • Try new things.

Human Simulation is Possible - by Humans

  Human Simulation: Agent-Based Modeling and the Computational Case for Our Reality   1.       Introduction In the essay, we introduce the notion that humanity could be a deliberate simulation based on an extremely simple single-celled organism, hardly anything more complex than that. This will allow an (apparently) new interpretation of the notion that humanity is simulated, but that there is no master engineer at a massive number of dials and switches, responsible for every twist and turn of our universe and lives. We begin with the notion that the universe exists and operates under its own laws. So, given the Earth [2] , when and where life first began, it was infused with a living agent, self-actualized, reproductive, and with other basic rules for its operations, interactions, and much of what single-celled organisms do today. The idea from this occurred some years back when writing code in ActionScript (formerly Flash), I was able to create...

The Calculus of Ideas and Patterns

  Introduction. When dealing with ideas, patterns, intuition, and brainstorming, we need operations or rules not unlike those of arithmetic. The goal is not proof, a finished device, or a fait accompli , but rather a foundation for further investigation and study. In some cases, these operations may yield a proposition, that is, something capable of being proved. In this sense, they form a practical logic of intuition. The article concludes with a few select examples from a variety of venues. Setting. We are working with a given idea, problem, or project, or simply just thinking. Our aim is to discover pathways, patterns, or conceptual connections that may be useful. The following operations describe ways in which ideas and patterns can be generated, transformed, or refined. These also work toward understanding the imagination. Yet, this framework is distinguished from formal logic and proof. We are tempted to call them as “soft logic” because while nothing is proved, reasons...

Freedom of Speech

  Think of freedom of speech as a living organism. Then think of what is required for it to survive. Coming to mind are a population agreeable to its constitution (its environment) and the institutions (its nutrients) that keep it healthy. Currently, many institutions, including some political parties, question unfettered freedom of speech and are working to deny it, claiming it is unhealthy for the body politic. Yes? No?
