16:30 "But the only fatwa that has, in fact, said that no images of Mohammed are permitted, and that includes Islamic paintings, not just the cartoons, came out in 2013 in Saudi Arabia by a Salafi cleric whose name is Al-Munajid. And there are other fatwas like Asistani, the Shi'i cleric, who says these images are perfectly fine, as long as they're respectful."

20:00 Fatwas can be issued (like the above) in a vacuum without any real conversation within the Islamic community. Few years back even building a snowman fatwa as haram. Animals are decapitated in Saudi textbooks. People in 20th century having 14th century book that depicts a head, decapitating it (al-ras).

quote / insight - decreased resiliency due to tight network of elites - (see quote below) - The front-loop phase is more predictable, - with higher degrees of certainty. - In both the natural and social worlds, - it maximizes production and accumulation. - We have been in that mode since World War II. - The consequence of this is not only an accumulation and concentration of wealth, - but also the emergence of greater vulnerability because of - the increasing number of interconnections that link that wealth, and - those who control it, - in efforts to sustain it. - Little time and few resources are available for alternatives that explore different visions or opportunities. - Emergence and novelty is inhibited. - This growing connectedness leads to increasing rigidity in its goal to retain control, - and the system becomes ever more tightly bound together. - This reduces resilience and the capacity of the system to absorb change, - thus increasing the threat of abrupt change. - We can recognize the need for change but become politically stifled in our capacity to act effectively.

Die von Waldbränden außerhalb der Tropen verursachten Emissionen haben sich seit 2001 fast verdreifacht. Weltweit haben die Emissionen durch Waldbrände in dieser Zeit um 60% zugenommen. Ursache dafür ist die Kombination von heißerem und trockenerem Wetter mit dem schnelleren Wachstum der Wälder durch die höheren Temperaturen. Die Wälder können durch die Brände jahrzehntelang zu Emittenten werden. Damit ist die Funktion der Wälder als Kohlenstoffsenken gefährdet. Das bedeutet auch, dass sie andere anthropogene Emissionen weniger kompensieren und die Fähigkeit verlieren, nach einem Überschreiten der 1,5°-Grenze C0₂ aus der Atmosphäre zu entfernen. Außerdem müssten diese von Menschen verursachten Emissonen den C0₂-Budgets der Nationalstaaten zugeordnet werden.

Sounds like you're doing what Mortimer J. Adler and Charles van Doren would call "inspectional reading" and outlining the space of your topic. This is both fine and expected. You have to start somewhere. You're scaffolding some basic information in a new space and that's worthwhile. You're learning the basics.

Eventually you may come back and do a more analytical read and/or cross reference your first sources with other sources in a syntopical read. It's at these later two levels of reading where doing zettelkasten work is much more profitable, particularly for discerning differences, creating new insights, and expanding knowledge.

If you want to think of it this way, what would a kindergartner's zettelkasten contain? a high school senior? a Ph.D. researcher? 30 year seasoned academic researcher? Are the levels of knowledge all the same? Is the kindergartner material really useful to the high school senior? Probably not at all, it's very basic. As a result, putting in hundreds of atomic notes as you're scaffolding your early learning can be counter-productive. Read some things, highlight them, annotate them. You'll have lots of fleeting notes, but most of them will seem stupidly basic after a month or two. What you really want as main notes are the truly interesting advanced stuff. When you're entering a new area, certainly index ideas, but don't stress about capturing absolutely everything until you have a better understanding of what's going on. Then bring your zettelkasten in to leverage yourself up to the next level.

2023 haben Böden und Landpflanzen fast kein CO2 absorbiert. Dieser Kollaps der Landsenken vor allem durch Dürren und Waldbrände wurde in diesem Ausmaß kaum vorausgesehen, und es ist nicht klar, ob auf ihn eine Regeneration folgt. Er stellt Klimamodelle ebenso in Frage wie die meisten nationalen Pläne zum Erreichen von CO2-Neutralität, weil sie auf natürlichen Senken an Land beruhen. Es gibt Anzeichen dafür, dass die steigenden Temperaturen inzwischen auch die CO2-Aufnahmefähigkeit der Meere schwächen.

summary - It is interesting to read this article from the perspectives of a commons activist - The link to the MSN article that led me to Carnegie's essay is below and it provides a good summary of his life. - He came from a very challenging life of poverty, growing up in a family and in circumstances where they were constantly struggling to make ends meet - His is the story of the deep imprint of poverty providing him with motivation to escape it - Having risen to become the world's richest man, and then giving his fortune away due to the deep imprint of poverty experienced in childhood, - he formed an opinion on inequality and capitalist material production that was borne out of his experience as a successful entrepreneur and the contrast of quality of life between: - a pre-industralized society in which he was familiar from childhood experiences and - the profound material improvements accessible to all due to mass production that he helped to pioneer - In the essay, he sees the inequality found in society to be the price that needed to be paid for everyone to have access to a higher standard of living - This is where critical analysis from a modern post-Marxist, post-Capitalist perspective might provide an interesting critique, - especially from the anthropocene perspective, where the epitome of the system Carnegie praised has led to a state of environmental destruction so vast that Carnegie could never have foreseen it - A question: would Carnegie have written his essay differently were he alive to witness the environmental destruction of the Anthropocene?

Reporter John Dickerson talking about his notebook.

While he doesn't mention it, he's capturing the spirit of the commonplace book and the zettelkasten.

[...] I see my job as basically helping people see and to grab ahold of what's going on.

You can decide to do that the minute you sit down to start writing or you can just do it all the time. And by the time you get to writing you have a notebook full of stuff that can be used.

And it's not just about the thing you're writing about at that moment or the question you're going to ask that has to do with that week's event on Face the Nation on Sunday.

If you've been collecting all week long and wondering why a thing happens or making an observation about something and using that as a piece of color to explain the political process to somebody, then you've been doing your work before you ever sat down to do your work.

Interesting perspective - Karl Marx wasn't principally interested in equality - Sonenscher offers an interesting interpretation and perspectival knowledge of Karl Marx's motivation in his principal work paraphrase - Marx's thought centered on is interest in individuality and the degree to which in certain respects being somebody who is free and able to make choices about his or her lives and future activities is going to depend on each person's: - qualities - capabilities - capacities - preoccupations - values, etc - For Marx, freedom is in the final analysis something to do with something - particular - specific and - individual w - What matters to me may not matter entirely in the same sort of way to you because ultimately - in an ideal State of Affairs, my kinds of concerns and your kinds of concerns will be simply specific to you and to me respectively - For Marx, the problems begin as is also the case with Rosseau - when these kinds of absolute qualities are displaced by - relative qualities that apply equally to us both - For Marx, things like - markets - prices - commodities and - things that connect people - are the hallmarks of equality because they put people on the same kind of footing prices and productivity - Whereas the things that REALLY SHOULD COUNT are - the things that separate and distinguish people that make each individual fully and and entirely him or herself and - the idea for Marx is that capitalism - which is not a term that Marx used, - puts people on a kind of spurious footing of equality - Getting beyond capitalism means getting beyond equality to a state of effect in which - difference , - particularity, - individuality and - uniqueness - in a certain kind of sense will prevail

comment - This perspective is quite enlightening on Marx's motivations on this part of his work and is likely misconstrued by those mainstream "capitalists" who vilify his work without critical analysis - Of course freedom - within a social context - is never an absolute term. - It is not possible to live in a society in which everyone is able to actualize their full imaginations, something pointed out in the work of two other famous thought leaders of modern history: - Thomas Hobbes observed in his famous work, Leviathan, and - Sigmund Freud also made a primary subject of his ID, Ego and Superego framework. - Total freedom would lead - first to anarchy and then - the emergence within that anarchy of those which possess the most charisma, influence, self-seeking manipulative skills and brutality - surfacing rule by authority - Historically, as democracy attempts to surface from a history of authoritarian, patriarchal governance, - democracy is far from ubiquitous and authoritarian governance is still alive and well in many parts of the world - The battle between - authoritarian governments among themselves and - authoritarian and democratic governments - results in war, violence and trauma that creates the breeding ground for the next generation of authoritarian leaders - Marx's main intent seems to be to enable the individual existing within a society to live the fullest life possible, - by way of enabling and maximizing their unique expression, - while not constraining the same aspiration in other individuals who belong to the same society

A little bit of the tone of "HAL" from 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). This is particularly suggestive as H.A.L. was a one letter increment from I.B.M. and the 1966 Royal 660 was designed to compete with IBM's Selectric

This calm voice makes suggestions to a secretary while H.A.L. does it for a male astronaut (a heroic figure of the time period). Suddenly the populace feels the computer might be a bad actor.

Understand the common uses and requirements of a certified translation and download sample statements.

Home / Client Assistance / What is a Certified Translation?

What are the basics of a certified translation?

In the United States, anyone can certify a translation. A translator does not need to be certified in order to provide a certified translation. The individual translator can certify their translations, as can an employee of a translation company.

A translator may also certify someone else's translation—as long as the translator has fully reviewed the translation for accuracy and completeness and the translation will not be changed after being certified. That is why translation companies can certify translations provided by their employees or freelance translators.

The certification statement must specify whether the signer has translated or reviewed the translation.

1:26:14 Marlborough can become a Commons

1:25:22 First comes an AGREEMENT by members of the neighbourhood to co-operate and then they agree to use a mechanism called money to mobilise resources

1:24:34 Money is not the scare resource. Money is the organising tool that mobilises people and tangible resources to manifest a vision

1:23:30 How can a neighbourhood become a local food PRODUCER evolving into a PROSUMER

1:23:06 How can we get a neighbourhood to operate at full capacity (strengths) while minimising to its collective shadows

1:22:36 Could A community Association get a Community Banking Licence? 1:22:38 Could a local Credit Union be a consortium partner and issue more money into the system to develop the entire wealth of the Neighbourhood

1:21:54 If a community moved to a WELLNESS model rather than an ILLNESS model, it would generate millions of dollars in saved resources 1:21:54 If a community moved to a PREVENTION model rather than a CURE Model, it would generate millions of dollars in resources

1:14;46 Our greatest existential threat is not CLIMATE CHANGE it is MIND CHANGE which leads to a CHANGE IN LANGUAGE

1:10:56 Your checking account is your bank's I.O.U. It is their liability that they owe you. 1:11:08 When you repay a loan, THE MONEY DISAPPEARS

1:09:52 A Bank LOAN is an interest attached to your own ability to pay back something that did not exist before you borrowed it

1:09:59 A bank officer ACQUIRES the loan in order to charge interest on it

1:08:50 Using BANK MONEY to create a mutual fund at low interest rates to pay off PREDATORY LOANS at high interest rates

1:05:36 Instead of asking DONORS for money, a community can make its own money and donors can contribute to a healthy local economy as a participant rather than a funder

1:02:29 The national debt is a historical record of the cumulative money that a government spent dollars than it took out which were transformed into US Treasuries

53:36 A community can set up a CONTRIBUTION which everyone agrees to pay in the currency issued by the community issuer 53:48 Therefore a Debt Free Currency System really means a COMMUNITY TRIBUTE money system where the debt is a contribution to the community, payable in the currency of the issuer 55:45 A community can set up its own CENTRAL BANK that sets the interest rate at zero for the money in the community

50:32 Currency is the governments I.O.U. 52:04 When the government gets its tax, it no longer has the debt so it burns the currency which was an I.O.U.

48:52 Example of a Community Currency

40:40 UMKC created its own currency - the Buckaroo 40:42 Students had to pay buckaroos to get their grades

39:59 DEFICIT is a word designed to shock and frighten

37:34 A government DEFICIT is that a government is putting IN more than it is taking out

36:10 If a government can create money, why is it in DEBT?

34:59 A government does not need money. It needs citizens to need money so that they can pay taxes

Governments FORCE PEOPLE TO NEED MONEY

34:47 Taxes drive demand for a currency

34:12 taxes are imposed by a government that is only payable in their currency and they make a law that puts you in jail if you do not pay their tax

32:12 Money is not a REAL resource. Money is a too invented by political authorities to organise and mobilise real resources

30:38 Money is not a physical object. It is a UNIT OF MEASURE

23:10 MMT is not a new system or theory. It simply explains what happens today.

18:59 Warren Mosler 19:49 Government does not need dollars, citizens need dollars 20:18 Warren is not an economist - he is not trying to defend economic theory - he is a financial trader watching the operation of money

18:17 A government who creates a currency does not need to tax its citizens to get dollars. 18:25 Currency issuers spend first before they tax - they do not use tax to spend

11:42 For a currency issuer, funding the money is NEVER the problem

9:16 Why are we borrowing in a currency that we print ourselves?

When it comes to education, one's socioeconomic status plays a big influence in their educational journey. Education is an area where the government cannot control equal opportunities because people will always be looking for the "best ways" for their children to learn. Even with public schools, living in richer areas will raise a students chances of going to college based on the facilities being offered.

Symbolism of becoming a chalice (metaphor): Connects to the previous image of Handmaid's needing to empty themselves of all to become a perfect vessel. Being nothing but a container, the chalice symbolises this as it is formally used religiously to hold sacramental/holy wine -- just as Offred is allowing herself to be emptied, mind and body, to carry something sacred (a child) and none more.

Also, because of the communion, it also means that she is turning herself over to God (drinking the blood).

Also, the shape of the chalice is like one of a woman's uterus.

Anaphora of "I wish", kind of like asking a genie for three wishes, a childlike wonder. Her constant reflection on what happens in her life shows her control over the retelling of what is being told us in the story -- shows her power as the narrator.

Reference to Descartes : I think therefore I am. Shows her power as a narrator, as a creator, as a reconstructor. She created her audience, which represents her power

This is a intertextual reference.

Shows that words and language cannot fully express -- Most happened detailed and not a reconstruction in other scenes, but her sex with Nick is similar to all other Night scenes, all other scenes with herself.

Dans un lycée en banlieue parisienne, une douzaine d’adolescent-e-s, en classe de seconde générale ou professionnelle, se retrouvent dans une salle, pour assister à un cours pas comme les autres… Option éducation sexuelle! Ils-elles ont 15 ans et ont été sélectionnée-e-s pour participer à 5 ateliers d’éducation à la sexualité, animés par Thomas Guiheneuc.

Le film raconte cette expérience pilote et suit le quotidien du groupe d’adolescent-e-s volon-taires pendant plusieurs semaines.

A travers des exercices sur les représentations genrées, sur les forces et influences des normes et stéréotypes, sur le souci du plaisir de soi et de l’autre, sur la compréhension de l’égalité et du consentement, ces lycéen-ne-s se dévoilent et se racontent.

La transcription fournie est celle d'un documentaire sur l'éducation sexuelle dans un lycée en banlieue parisienne. Voici les moments clés de la transcription, organisés par thème :

1. Représentations du corps et stéréotypes de genre (5:11 - 5:49):

● Suite à un exercice de représentation du sexe masculin et féminin avec de la pâte à modeler, une analyse des mots choisis par les garçons et les filles pour décrire la sexualité révèle des différences notables.

● Les filles se concentrent davantage sur leur corps et expriment des sentiments négatifs tels que l'insécurité et le complexe, tandis que les garçons se focalisent sur leurs propres désirs et ne mentionnent pas explicitement leur corps.

1. Le plaisir féminin et la représentation du clitoris (14:50 - 17:39) :

● L'intervenant souligne que le clitoris est souvent réduit à un point dans les représentations anatomiques, ce qui reflète une méconnaissance et une minimisation du plaisir féminin dans la société.

● Plusieurs filles admettent ne pas savoir à quoi ressemble un clitoris ni comment le trouver sur leur propre corps, soulignant le manque d'éducation sexuelle complète.

1. Identité de genre et difficultés d'acceptation (38:41 - 43:37):

● Une mise en situation met en scène le rejet violent d'un adolescent par ses camarades lorsqu'il révèle se sentir femme dans un corps d'homme.

● Les réactions des élèves face à ce jeu de rôle révèlent la difficulté d'accepter la différence et le poids des normes sociales.

1. L'homosexualité et l'homophobie (46:09 - 52:03):

● Des élèves partagent leurs expériences personnelles de harcèlement et d'insultes homophobes.

● Un échange met en lumière la difficulté de certains à accepter l'homosexualité, la considérant comme "non naturelle", tandis que d'autres défendent la liberté d'aimer qui l'on veut.

1. Le consentement et les violences sexuelles (56:11 - 1:03:25):

● La définition des violences sexuelles est abordée, incluant tout acte sexuel commis par violence, contrainte, menace ou surprise.

● Plusieurs élèves témoignent de situations d'agressions sexuelles vécues dans leur enfance ou adolescence, soulignant l'importance du consentement et la difficulté de parler de ces expériences.

1. L'importance de l'éducation sexuelle (1:04:07 - 1:06:15):

● Le documentaire se conclut par un appel à la parole et à l'éducation sexuelle complète et inclusive pour lutter contre les stéréotypes, les violences et favoriser le respect de soi et des autres. Ces temps forts permettent de comprendre les principaux thèmes abordés dans le documentaire et les enjeux liés à l'éducation à la sexualité chez les adolescents.

Summary - This is an extremely important paper with a startling conclusion of the magnitude of the social and economic impacts of the biodiversity disruption coming down the pipeline - It is likely that very few governments are prepared to adapt to these levels of ecosystemic disruption - Climate departure is defined as an index of the year when: - The projected mean climate of a given location moves to a state that is - continuously outside the bounds of historical variability - Climate departure is projected to happen regardless of how aggressive our climate mitigation pathway - The business-as-usual (BAU) scenario in the study is RCP85 and leads to a global climate departure mean of 2047 (+/- 14 years s.d.) while - The more aggressive RCP45 scenario (which we are currently far from) leads to a global climate departure mean of 2069 (+/- 18 years s.d.) - So regardless of how aggressive we mitigate, we cannot avoid climate departure. - What consequences will this have on economies around the world? How will we adapt? - The world is not prepared for the vast ecosystem changes, which will reshape our entire economy all around the globe.

question - 2024 - Sept 13 - how do we reconcile climate departure with quantification of earth system boundary biodiversity safe and just limit? - Annotating the Sept 11, 2024 published Earth Commission paper in Lancet, the question arises: - How do we reconcile climate departure dates with the earth system boundary quantification of safe limits for biodiversity? - There, it is claimed that: - 50 to 60 % of intact nature is required<br /> - https://hyp.is/Mt8ocnIEEe-C0dNSJFTjyQ/www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(24)00042-1/fulltext - a minimum of 20 to 25% of human modified ecosystems is required - https://hyp.is/AKwa4nIHEe-U1oNQDdFqlA/www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(24)00042-1/fulltext - in order to mitigate major species extinction and social disruption crisis - And yet, Mora et al.'s research and subsequent climate departure map shows climate departure is likely to take place everywhere on the globe, with - aggressive RCP decarbonization pathway only delaying climate departure from - Business-As-Usual RCP pathway - by a few decades at most - And this was a 2011 result. 13 years later in 2024, I expect climate departure dates have likely gotten worse and moved closer to the present

question - earth system boundaries - biodiversity - how do we reconcile these boundaries with climate departure? - Does the term "functional integrity" imply autonomy from climate feedbacks? Obviously, climate feedback plays a huge role in determining biodiversity health - In 2013, Mora et al. found that climate departure, the year in which a climate variable moves out of the historical bounds will occur everywhere on the planet, regardless of an aggressive RCP pathway being taken. In this study, climate departure was found to take place (relative to 2013) - 37.5 years in the future under RCP45, or - 22.5 years in the future under RCP85 - It would seem that the biodiversity boundaries should take into consideration climate departure as species extinction and ecological system disruption is projected to occur, regardless of whether RCP45 or RCP85 is adopted. - Currently, we are still on a Business-As-Usual trajectory, but since 2013, scientific research has moved the danger threshold even lower so climate departure dates are likely even sooner than those calculated in the 2013 Mora paper

Seit 2023 herrscht im Amazonasgebiet eine extreme Dürre, deren Ursachen die Erhitzung der Ozeane und ein durch die globale Erhitzung verstärkter El Niño sind. Sie begünstigt die extrem zahlreichen Waldbrände, deren Rauch gerade die Luft über 60% des brasilianischen Territoriums verschmutzt. 97% der Brände werden aber von Menschen entzündet, vor allem im Interesse der Agrarindustrie. Auch aufgrund der Entwaldung ist der Kipppunkt, von dem an der Wald Kohlenstoff emittiert statt absorbiert, näher als bisher angenommen.

Der neue französische Premierminister Michel Barnier hat in seiner Zeit als Umweltminister wesentlich dazu beigetragen, das Vorsorgeprinzip und die finanzielle Verantwortung der Verschmutzenden für Schäden im Umweltrecht zu verankern. Obwohl er zu Amtsbeginn auch von der „ökologischen Schuld" gesprochen hat, erwarten NGOs und Thinktanks, deren Vertreter:innen die Libération befragt hat, allenfalls vorsichtige umweltpolitische Schritte und eine insgesamt restriktive Ausgabenpolitik von ihm.https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/le-premier-ministre-michel-barnier-est-il-vraiment-decide-a-payer-la-dette-ecologique-de-la-france-20240906_7BYVDVAUSJD2VN6M4V7DAI2N2E/

for - nonduality - not acting against violence in such a case (as Ukraine war) is an egoic response - acting out of cowardice - Rupert Spira

comment - One can act egoically both to take action AND to not take action.

for - question - nilhism - nondualism - is fighting evil a contradiction? - Rupert Spira - Bernado Kastrup - question - nilhism - how do we prevent falling into?

question - nondualism - is fighting evil a contradiction? - Pondering this idea raises the question: - Is fighting evil a contradiction? - Do we fall into duality if we fight evil? - Does nonduality imply not creating categories of morality of good and evil? - This question has no answer because - If you understand the question, you are already - a language user - applying some morality - We are already post category and post linguistic - we can never undo this and get back to pre-category and pre-linguistic - Fighting evil cannot conquer it because - in fighting evil, this implies using (deadly) force - deadly force results in death, the most extreme form of suffering - It is tantamount to abuse and justifying death is the greatest act of separation, causing great suffering to the other - In effect, we have the same result as the abuser and this can create a new generation of abused

question - nilhism - how do we prevent falling into? - Rather, what is needed is to PENETRATE moral relativism / dualism altogether to re-discover the common sacred ground both moral categories are based upon - The use of force as a form of vengeance - is the perpetuation of the abused-abuser cycle

for - quote - consciousness - model of - as a quantum field - Federico Faggin - question - about Federico Faggin's quantum field theory of consciousness - Is it neo-dualistic?

quote - consciousness - model of - as a quantum field - Federico Faggin - (see below) - Think of the body as a structure in space and time - It is both - classical - cells are made of particles, atoms and molecules that interact quantumly in space and time - AND fields - The body is a bridge between consciousness and the classical (objective spacetime) world - The body reports to the conscious field - and creates quantum states inside the cell

potential future dialogue - Michael Levin and Federico Faggin - To unpack quantum states at cellular or subcellular level, it would be good to see a dialogue between Michael Levin and Federico Faggin

for - unpack - key insight - with the postulate of consciousness as the foundation, it makes sense that this is - an inner reality made of qualia - and an outer reality made of shareable symbols we call matter - Federico Faggin - question - about Federico Faggin's ideas - in what way is matter a symbol? - adjacency - poverty mentality - I am the universe who wants to know itself question - in what way is matter a symbol? - Matter is a symbol in the sense that it - we describe reality using language, both - ordinary words as well as - mathematics - It is those symbolic descriptions that DIRECT US to jump from one phenomena to another related phenomena. - After all, WHO is the knower of the symbolic descriptions? - WHAT is it that knows? Is it not, as FF points out, the universe itself - as expressed uniquely through all the MEs of the world, that knows? - Hence, the true nature of all authentic spiritual practices is that - the reality outside of us is intrinsically the same as - the reality within us - our lebenswelt of qualia

for - answer - It has to be taken as a postulate - Federico Faggin - to question - how can we test that consciousness is the foundation of reality?

adjacency - between - key insight - quote - localization enables (infinite or universal consciousness) to perceive itself - Rupert Spira - discerning single voice at a busy party metaphor - existential isolation - adjacency relationship - quote - localization enables (infinite or universal consciousness) to perceive itself - Rupert Spira - This localization process enables (infinite) consciousness to perceive itself as the universe because - infinite consciousness cannot perceive its own activity directly - because if infinite consciousness were to perceive the universe directly - it would have to do so from every single point of view in the universe - It would be the deepest, darkest black image you could imagine - So in order to perceive an object - (infinite) consciousness must localize itself as an apparently separate subject so - the apparent localization of our self or - the dissociation of ourselves - as finite minds out of infinite consciousness enables - perception and - thought

• There is a metaphor that applies here:
  • At a busy dinner party, many people are talking at the same time
  • As the number of people approach infinite, the signal becomes more difficult to detect
  • In the same manner, as the activities of the universe are seemingly unbounded, how could infinite consciousness possibly observe its own infinite entirety?
  • Existential isolation is deemed depressing because it makes us feel intrinsically separated and disconnected from others, yet
    • it may be very necessary
  • Can you imagine hearing and understanding the voices of every human being, much less every living being?
  • An individual human does not have the capacity to process all that information
  • In the same manner, the body of every living organism is fine tuned for only one specific set of unwelts
  • How would we process the unbound amounts of information if we had an infinite number of different detectors?

Propusimos una herramienta basada en IA que podría motivar a las mujeres de América Latina a participar en proyectos de ciencia ciudadana.

Llamado a la acción

Una revisión a nivel de agencias de la ONU sobre la aplicación de las leyes y estándares internacionales de derechos humanos existentes para la gestión de los datos automatizados, el aprendizaje automático y el género: esto puede guiar y provocar el pensamiento creativo para un enfoque basado en los derechos humanos que sea adecuado para el propósito en la era digital que cambia rápidamente.

Desarrollo de un conjunto de métricas para la inclusión digital: debe acordarse urgentemente, medirse en todo el mundo y detallarse con datos desagregados por sexo en los informes anuales de instituciones como la ONU, el Fondo Monetario Internacional, la Unión Internacional de Telecomunicaciones, el Banco Mundial y otros bancos multilaterales de desarrollo, y la OCDE.

Llamado a la acción

Equilibrio de género en la toma de decisiones de IA: el equilibrio de género en la toma de decisiones debe incluirse en la agenda oficial de todos los involucrados en la financiación, el diseño, la adopción y la evaluación de ADM.

Equilibrio de género en los equipos de diseño: empleo de una gama sólida de feministas interseccionales en el diseño de sistemas ADM que desencadenarán y ayudarán a una mayor innovación y creatividad, así como la detección y mitigación de sesgos y efectos nocivos en mujeres, niñas y personas tradicionalmente excluidas.

Exigir a las empresas que divulguen e informen de manera proactiva sobre el equilibrio de género en los equipos de investigación y diseño, incluso en la fase inicial cuando soliciten subvenciones. Incentivar equipos equilibrados y multidisciplinarios.

Fondo de investigación: crear un fondo de investigación para explorar los impactos del género y la IA, el aprendizaje automático, el sesgo y la equidad, con un enfoque multidisciplinario más allá de la informática y la perspectiva económica para incluir nuevas formas de incorporar la alfabetización digital y estudiar los efectos económicos, políticos y sociales de ADM en las vidas de las mujeres y las personas tradicionalmente excluidas de la elaboración de reglas y la toma de decisiones.

Llamado a la acción

Acciones algorítmicas equitativas para corregir los sesgos y barreras de la vida real que impiden que las mujeres y las niñas logren la participación plena y el disfrute igualitario de los derechos.

Instituciones públicas para pilotar y liderar: Acción afirmativa para algoritmos implementados cuando las instituciones públicas pilotan ADM. Basar los pilotos en investigaciones de ciencias sociales nuevas y de larga data que asignan incentivos sociales, subsidios o becas donde las mujeres tradicionalmente han sido dejadas atrás en sistemas anteriores. Esta es una agenda positiva para promover los valores de igualdad que hemos adoptado durante mucho tiempo, para corregir la visibilidad, la calidad y la influencia de las mujeres proporcionales a la población.

Adopción por parte del sector público y privado de evaluaciones de impacto algorítmico (AIA): un marco de autoevaluación diseñado para respetar el derecho del público a conocer los sistemas de IA que impactan sus vidas en términos de principios de responsabilidad y equidad.

Pruebas rigurosas a lo largo del ciclo de vida de los sistemas de IA: las pruebas deben tener en cuenta los orígenes y el uso de los datos de entrenamiento, los datos de prueba, los modelos, la interfaz de programación de aplicaciones (API) y otros componentes a lo largo del ciclo de vida de un producto. Las pruebas deben cubrir ensayos previos al lanzamiento, auditorías independientes, certificación y monitoreo continuo para detectar sesgos y otros daños. La ADM debe mejorar la calidad de la experiencia humana, no controlarla.

Marcos legales sólidos para promover la rendición de cuentas: incluida la posible expansión de poderes para agencias sectoriales específicas o la creación de nuevos términos de referencia para supervisar, auditar y monitorear los sistemas de ADM para la supervisión regulatoria y la responsabilidad legal en el sector privado y público.

Directrices de adquisiciones con perspectiva de género: las organizaciones y todos los niveles de gobierno deben desarrollar directrices de adquisiciones de igualdad de género de ADM con objetivos estrictos; y describir los roles y responsabilidades de aquellas organizaciones requeridas para aplicar estos principios.

Mejorar los conjuntos de datos: datos abiertos desagregados por género, recopilación de datos y conjuntos de datos de calidad inclusivos: producir activamente conjuntos de datos abiertos desagregados por género; Esto permite comprender mejor las fuentes de sesgo en la IA y, en última instancia, mejorar el rendimiento de los sistemas de aprendizaje automático. Invertir en controles para supervisar los procesos de recopilación de datos y la verificación humana en el circuito, de modo que los datos no se recopilen a expensas de las mujeres y otros grupos tradicionalmente excluidos. Participar en procesos de recopilación de datos más inclusivos que se centren no solo en la cantidad sino también en la calidad de los conjuntos de datos.

adjacency - between - answer - synchronicity - lower level example - two neurons talking to each other - Michael Levin - Mark Solms foundational theory of affect - adjacency relationship - This is a very interesting question and Michael Levin provides a very interesting answer - First, it is very interesting that Mark Solms points out that affect is foundational to cognition - This is evident once we begin to think of the fundamental goals of any individual of any species is to optimize survival - The positive or negative affects that we feel are a feedback signal that measures how successful we are in our efforts to survive - Hence, it is more accurate to ask: - How do you know if and when you are part of a larger affective-cognitive system? - Levin illustrates the multi-level nature of simultaneous consciousness by looking at two neurons "in dialogue" with each other, and potentially speculating about a "higher level of consciousness", which is in fact, the level you and I operate at and take for granted - This speculative question is very important for it also can be generalized to the next layer up, - Do collectives of humans, each one experiencing itself a unified, cohesive inner perspective, constitute a higher level "collective consciousness"? - If we humans experience feelings and thinking whilst we have a well defined physical body, then - what does a society feel and think whilst not having such a well defined physical body?

adjacency - between - Children as natural philosophers - Deep Humanity - adjacency relationship - At time 59 minute of that interview, Dr Thomas makes a very insightful observation that - children are naturally philosophers - and ask deeply philosophical questions - Another way to look at Deep Humanity is that it is reminding us of these deeply philosophical questions the see all had when we were children - but we stopped asking then as we grew out of childhood because nobody could answer them for us
