Hope - It's not Just France and Italy, ...

These seem like really intelligent people talking about intelligent responses to problems. I hope George Monbiot learns something from this, and people in Italy and Serbia.  This is the Real Spanish Revolution. The basis of any true Nation's wealth has to be its land, and that means the state of its land. So the basis for any national economy has to also be the state of that nation's land.

30:36 See https://puedeserlahostia.es/. If you get these models working properly then you won't need the actual money to do the investments, because the models will be more authoritative than the financial markets. But to get that we have to first restore the understanding of actual human knowledge which has been perverted by modern "logic". See Searle on Consciousness.

43:37 See what Spain used to have in the practical reason department: @eugeniomonesma-documentales.

1:41:08 On the difficulty of making and executing national plans and integrating local initiatives. There is no connection between local and national economies. Usually this is because national economies are not actually based on anything national at all. 

If you look up "La hostia" in Google translate it just says "Holy shit". Maybe Jeffrey Sachs is organising this stuff from the Vatican Gardens? See Jeffrey Sachs interviewed by Glenn Diesen on Ukraine and The Functional Craft of Programming on Being Intelligent About Stuff.

John Searle's Chinese Room Argument

He's fed up with talking about this. I used to have a copy of the little book he wrote called Minds, Brains & Science. Apparently the AI at Google has read it too and gets it completely: How does stuff like this happen? Most people won't even notice what I'm saying even if I point out that the Google search changed the title. The book was really called Minds, Brains & Science , not Minds, Brains & Programs . (But maybe that was a later edition or something?) I asked Google and it said: John Searle's book Minds, Brains and Science did not become "Minds, Brains & Programs"—rather, they are two separate, distinct works published a few years apart: "Minds, Brains, and Programs" (1980): A landmark academic paper published in the journal Behavioral and Brain Sciences. This is where Searle first introduced his famous Chinese Room Argument to challenge the concept of "strong AI". "Minds, Brains and Science" (1984): A shor...

Tensor Fields and Simplicial Complexes

Listening to Freya Holmér last night I started to get glimmers of an idea I had long ago about how to represent vector spaces in computational processes using this recursive abstract type :  abstype 'a point = POINT   of {getx :  'a vector,       diff :  'a point -> 'a point,       move :  'a point -> 'a point,       scale : 'a -> 'a point,       proj :  'a point -> 'a} with    fun new i (op +) (op -) (op * ) dot =    let fun self x =  POINT       {getx = x,        move = fn (POINT pr) =>           (self (x + (#getx pr))),        diff = fn (POINT pr) =>          self (x - (#getx pr)),        scale = fn i =>          (self (x * i)),        proj = fn (POINT pr) =>     ...
