Folks,

 

Yes, that looks lucrative protocols making our current Internet more secured. 
But it has some side effects. The likely introduction of that technology under 
the guise of crypto-currencies into the interlinked network of financial 
institutions regulated by the central banks such as FRB and ECB may induce an 
unexpected fragility in the system. One symptom could be the runaway explosion 
of outstanding accounts because of the P2P (peer-to-peer) nature set free from 
the control of the regulatory agencies by postponing the clearing of unpaid 
debts indefinitely. This fragility could easily flare up in any dialogic 
transactions or discourses unless each participant is sufficiently 
self-restrained. Of course, there should be no such fragility in the 
single-authored discourse by definition, while bilateral transactions are 
inevitable in our everyday life in any case.

Dea FISes,

 

with respect to this big data and machine learning cults today, which I 
consider as somewhat useful fragments of a much bigger paradigm but not the 
non-plus-ultra tendency in science, let me ask you a bit different question:

 

What do you think about the other more interesting phenomenon recently: the 
blockchain technology and the chances for a forum like FIS to use it for 
perpetuating knowledge to change the paradigm of conventional thinking towards 
a global intellectual standard currency? Perhaps this is what deserves your 
attention. 

 

All the best.

Dear Alberto,

 

Let imagine that we are at the naturist beach, i.e. naked.

OK! 

You will see all what I am and I will se the same for you.

 

Well, will you know what I think or shall I know the same for you?

 

Simple answer: NOT!

 

No Data base may contain any data about my current thoughts and feelings.

Yes, the stupid part of humanity may be controlled by big data centers.

But all times it had been controlled. Nothing new.

 

The pseudo scientists may analyze data and may create tons of papers.

For such “production” there was and will exist corresponded more and more big 
cemeteries.

I had edited more than one thousand papers.

Only several was really very important and with great scientific value !!!

 

Collection of data is important problem and it will be such for ever.

But the greater problem for humanity is collection of money 

 

And the last cause the former!

And the last is many times more dangerous than former!

 

Do not worry of Data-ism!

Be worried of the Money-ism!

 

I will continue next week because this is my second post  ( Thanks to wisdom of 
Pedro who had limited Writing-letter-ism in our list! ).

I very much appreciate this opportunity to discuss with all of you.

You'll be amused by this on Pavlov and Kornosky by Heinz Von Foerster...

What you call data-ism is a bit like the bell without the clapper ;-)

Dear Krassimir, 




Formalism is nice, but it can be unreasonable. 


Your example of 2 naked men on a beach can be made simpler by adding a dog, a 
sausage and a whistle. 


Person A (the dog's owner) sounds the whistle. The dog is apparently used to 
being fed and runs up, waging its tail.


Can 
1) person A think:
a) the dog thinks it will be fed, 
b) this other naked guy thinks I am introducing Pawlow to formal logic; 


2) person B think: 
a) the measure of intelligence is based on the number of repetitions of a 
stimulus until the conditioned reflex is established,
b) this other naked guy apparently teaching his dog to learn to listen to the 
whistle;


3) the dog think
a) food coming,
b) the connection between whistle and sausage is a secret that I have mastered, 
no other dog will ever figure out the mystery,
c) we dogs live in a world in which past and future exist; these are connected 
by the moment, which is the natural home  (in fact, so far, the only home) of 
formal logic;
d) poor humans have no fur and can not therefore think.


Do you think you can't navigate a crossing because you are not able to figure 
out what the drivers in the cars coming will think? Because they are not naked? 


It is time to start talking about what Pawlow said.  Maybe, after that we can 
start discussing what Gregor Mendel said. After that, one will cry Caramba!
