She doesn't really expound on the fact that humans have the power to choose. I think memetics and temes have potential. You can't deny their existence but is it only that? Sure, my middle finger is a meme. But there is mechanics behind it. And those mechanics have a lot of regression and experiential validity verses a meme/teme which is hosted, a parasitic or supra-substrative collective thought, which once embodied becomes a commodity.
John From: David Hart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi All, An excellent 20-minute TED talk from Susan Blackmore (she's a brilliant speaker!) http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/269 I considered posting to the singularity list instead, but Blackmore's theoretical talk is much more germane to AGI than any other singularity-related technology. -dave ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=103754539-40ed26 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
