there are other tipping points, like for example, lakes. that can flip over from, you know, oxygen rich, fish rich, clear water lakes into these murky, algal bloom dominated, anoxic states, dead states, based on nutrient loading and overfishing, and that is a Oh, not from climate or temperature. Not anything, no, has nothing to do with climate or temperature, it's just a, mismanagement,

one cannot exclude that he's right the challenge is that the science is, really not is very inconclusive on, the cocktail risks of chemicals in the biosphere, but that is why we have it as one of the planetary boundaries, that we have enough evidence to say that the loading of, for example, endocrine disruptors PFAS, persistent organic pollutants all forms of, of um, chemical long lasting chemical products.

what makes me doubly frustrated is that not only do we have all this evidence of, you know, potentially unmanageable risks. But we also have so much evidence that solving them is not a sacrifice.
for - quote - Johan Rockstrom - 2024 - double frustration - allowing situation to deteriorate - while there is no sacrifice

What should make us really concerned is the lack of leadership, is the lack of efforts of acting on that evidence. So if there's anything that all this leads for

we can produce what you can think of as a control room for the whole planet, like a situation room for planet Earth, with nine global numbers and nine high resolution maps based on satellite data, mapping all, basically measuring the planet, and measuring against the safe boundaries. And that is urgently needed. We have the technologies, And we are aiming to do that now. So, so we're, calling this the Planeter Boundary Health Check, and that requires not only massive funding, but also partnerships around, around the world.

on land, we use net primary production as an indicator for biodiversity, so basically, the richness of all biomass on land, but the ocean is also a control variable. a massive food web of net primary production from phytoplankton to the, you know, the big sharks and whales. And, we, we, need to be able to, represent scientifically what are the, minimum levels of keeping intact food webs in the ocean to keep the ocean functioning. Oxygen levels, as you mentioned as well,

use the Neuroscience principle of education for corporate learning systems so instead of just having a classic a classic lesson to teach people
for - neuroscience and education - problem solving - active learning
neuroscience and education - problem solving - active learning - this is much like Socratic dialogue technique, engaging the learner actively to recreate the problem in their own consciousness - and play an active role in solving it - just like historical innovators did
-
is it possible to teach machine values
for - question - AI - can we teach AI values?
question - AI - can we teach AI values? - it's likely not possible because we cannot assign metrics to things like - ethics - kindness - happiness

studies that are coming in right now from the last two years where we were forced to work remotely we see a decrease in Innovation and creative potential in in companies
for - neuroscience research - remote intentional working during Covid - showed decreased productivity and innovation
neuroscience research - remote intentional working during Covid - showed decreased productivity and innovation - Due to only creating intentional work times and eliminating the opportunities for informal meeting - When it is purely intentional work contexts created and no relaxing, informal opportunities to meet, innovation suffers
-
the first question that came in and as we're embracing remote and hybrid working as The New Normal how do you address this from a neuroscience perspective
for - question - neuroscience - efficacy of hybrid remote and live work environments
-
the future future for education and this is a mega Trend that will last in the next decades is that we use artificial intelligence to tailor um educational let's say or didactic Concepts to the specific person so let's say in in the future everybody will have his or her specific let's say training or education profile he or she will run through and artificial intelligence um will will tailor the different educational environments for everybody in the future this is this is a pre this is a pretty clear Trend
for - AI and education - children will have custom tailored education program via AI
-
before puberty before let's say 30 and 14 years of age um we know that the Restriction of those devices is beneficial for the development of the brain because children learn to to think in a three-dimensional world
for - neuroscience - education of children - recommend no digital devices before puberty - allows learning in a 3 dimensional world

in fact the best ideas happen when you are not planning them when you are just creating an environment where people get together in an informal way this is the reason why um Steve Jobs when he designed the Pixar building um he the initial idea was there's just one bathroom for the whole company
for - neuroscience - building design - common area to converge everyone - creates diverse social meetings - increases work efficacy - example - Steve Jobs - Pixar bathroom
-
upport cross-divisional thinking and that the best ideas are already in a company and it's just a matter of sort of um getting people together
for - neuroscience - validation for Stop Reset Go open source participatory system mapping for design innovation

we are slower we are irrational we are imperfect we are drifting away we are forgetting stuff we are making mistakes but we are learning from our failures we get support from our from our friends from our from our colleagues and we are understanding and instead of just analyzing the world and this is giving us the ultimate cognitive Edge
for - key insight - human vs artificial intelligence - humans will create the best ideas
key insight - human vs artificial intelligence - humans will create the best ideas - why? - because we are - slower - imperfect - less rational - drifting away - forgetting - and we learn from the mistakes we make and from different perspectives shared with us
-
by doubling the size of the tables in the in the eating in the eating areas they increase cross-divisional across talk um in a very informal way they found out that cross-department um Corporation increased after that and the and the code and the code output increased two months later
for - neuroscience - example - informal diversity - increases work efficacy - via sharing diverse and novel perspectives
-
all the great ideas come um with a price tag of it's maybe a mistake
for - neuroscience - innovation - great ideas - mistakes and - risk
neuroscience - innovation - great ideas - mistakes and - risk - Any new idea involves taking a risk that it could be wrong - we cannot be innovators if we are not able to risk making mistakes
-
when we analyze what is happening in the brain when we are doing a mistake then we we see that a lot of different areas active when one region is missing the region for fear

a good projects always benefit from cross-divisional from cross-divisional cooperation from asking some guys from outside not because they are showing the better um the better solution but usually they they give a good they give a good question they ask questions that nobody ever asked before and thereby giving you some kind of some kind of New Perspective
for - Indyweb - Stop Reset Go participatory system mapping - benefits of open source - Henning Beck - neuroscience support
Indyweb - Stop Reset Go participatory system mapping - benefits of open source - Henning Beck validates the importance of an open source design of the Stop Reset Go participatory system mapping - By developing an open source graph for many silo'd actors to participate, they mutually desilo each other - The sharing of diverse perspectives helps to mitigate progress traps
-
here you see a company with three different departments depicted in blue red and green
for - neuroscience - example - diverse and low density connections beats non-diverse and high connections
neuroscience - example diverse and low density connections vs non-diverse high density connections - having access to many diverse perspectives is a key enabler of good problem-solving and innovation
-
catching a break is necessary in order to refill your mental capacities and as a rule of thumb you can say that it's it's five to one five parts of work one part of doing a break so 50 minutes working 10 minutes catching a break
for - neuroscience - efficient work - relaxation rule
neuroscience - efficient work - relaxation rule - It is necessary to build NO WORK time into effective work - 5 time units work - 1 time unit relaxation - It is necessary to step back from concentrating on a problem - for the brain to drift away from it and - relax from concentrating on the problem - so that new perspectives can develop that can be brought back to solve the problem

-
this is the reason why I'm not afraid of artificial intelligence taking over
for - question - AI - can AI learn to be intentionally distracted?
-
human beings are good at getting distracted at mentally drifting away doing something else and thereby thereby understanding the world and give meaning to stuff
for - neuroscience - human understanding - what makes us excel? - forgetting and getting distracted!

question - comparison - human vs artificial intelligence - Can't an AI also consider things we sit on to then generalize their classifcation algorithm?
-
the brain is Islam Islam is it is lousy and it is selfish and still it is working yeah look around you working brains wherever you look and the reason for this is that we totally think differently than any kind of digital and computer system you know of and many Engineers from the AI field haven't figured out that massive difference that massive difference yet
for - comparison - brain vs machine intelligence
comparison - brain vs machine intelligence - the brain is inferior to machine in many ways - many times slower - much less accurate - network of neurons is mostly isolated in its own local environment, not connected to a global network like the internet - Yet, it is able to perform extraordinary things in spite of that - It is able to create meaning out of sensory inputs - Can we really say that a machine can do this?
-
this blue ball with three stumps a chair or this strange design object here because you can sit on it and what you see here is the difference the main difference between the computer world and the brainworld
for - comparison - brain vs machine intelligence - comparison - human intelligence vs artificial intelligence
comparison - human intelligence vs artificial intelligence - AI depends on feeding the AI system with huge datasets that it can - analyze and make correlations and - perform big data analysis - Humans don't operate the same way
-
you can Google data if you're good you can Google information but you cannot Google an idea you cannot Google Knowledge because having an idea acquiring knowledge this is what is happening on your mind when you change the way you think and I'm going to prove that in the next yeah 20 or so minutes that this will stay analog in our closed future because this is what makes us human beings so unique and so Superior to any kind of algorithm
for - key insight - claim - humans can generate new ideas by changing the way we think - AI cannot do this
-
you can measure data but you cannot measure having an idea you cannot measure Innovation you cannot measure knowledge there's no metric there is no quantifiable scale for knowledge or having an idea you cannot say one meter of knowledge one kilogram of idea
for - comparison - data vs ideas - no metric for ideas

It would represent a revolution in the governance of the world – and we do not have a map for how to get there.
for - governance - planetary subsidiary - no idea how to get there
-
Planetary subsidiarity is the principle that we offer for allocating authority over an issue to the smallest-scale institution that can govern the issue effectively to promote habitability and multispecies flourishing.
for - governance - planetary subsidiary
-
there are two crippling flaws with the existing multilevel governance architecture for the globe.
for - governance - multi-scale - two problems
governance - multi-scale - two problems -1. Some scales such as planetary scale lack institutions to deal with problems on that scale - 2. Smaller-scale, subnational governance institutions don’t have the authority or resources necessary - to address local challenges in a way that - satisfies and responds to constituent desires. - both problems have the same common source - the nation state level calls all the shots
-
Managing problems at the scale the planet, therefore, requires creating governance institutions at the scale of the planet.
for - key insight - governance - new planetary scale - NOT the UN

The UN and its many parts and agencies – from UNICEF to the Universal Postal Union – answer not to humanity nor the world, but the nations that united to join it.

quote - planetary governance is required - not global - The framing of problems as global - suggests that they can be addressed with the tools we have at hand: - modern political ideas and the architecture of global governance that has emerged - since the Second World War. - But planetary problems cannot. - This helps to explain why decades of attempts to manage planetary problems with global institutions have failed.
-
it suggests the goal for our action should be sustainability – an anthropocentric, global concept – rather than habitability – a multispecies, planetary concept.

Culturally, we in the West, at least, have inherited a tradition of human exceptionalism rooted in the idea that human beings, uniquely, are made in God’s image and, as the Bible says, are meant to ‘have dominion … over all the earth’.
for - human exceptionalism - example - the bible
-
This basic mismatch between the scale of the problem and the scale of possible solutions is a source of many of today’s failures of global governance. Nation-states and the global governance institutions they have formed simply aren’t fit for the task of managing things such as viruses, greenhouse gases and biodiversity, which aren’t bound by political borders, but only by the Earth system.

summary James Allen provides an insightful description of ultra-anthropomorphic AI, AI that attempts to simulate an entire, whole human being.
In short, he points out the fundamental distinction between the real experience of another human being, and a simulation of one. In so doing, he gets to the heart of what it is to be human.
An AI is a simulation of a human being. No matter how realistic it's responses and actions, it is not evolved out of biology. I have no doubts that scientists are hard at work trying to make a biological AI. The distinction becomes fuzzier then.
Current AI cannot possibly simulate the experience of being in a fragile and mortal body and all that this entails. If an AI robot says it understands joy or pain, that statement isn't built on the combined exteroception and interoception of being in a biological body, rather, it is based on many linguistic statements it has assimilated.

for - economic growth - physical limits to - reductio ad absurdum - physical absurdity of continuing current energy and waste heat trends into the near future
paper details - title - Limits to Economic Growth - author - Thomas W. Murphy Jr. - date - 21 July, 2022 - publication - Nature Physics, comment, online - https://doi.org/10.1038/s41567-022-01652-6
summary - Physicist Thomas W. Murphy employs reductio ab adsurdium logic to prove the fallacy of the assumptions of his argument - In this case, the argument is that we can indefinitely continue to sustain economic growth at rates that have held steady at about 2-3% per annum since the early 1900s. - Using both idealistic and simplified energy and waste heat calculations of energy and waste heat compounding at 2-3% per annum (or 10x per century), Murphy shows the absurd conclusions of continuing these current trends of energy and waste heat emissions on a global scale. - The implications are that physics and thermodynamics will naturally constrain us to plateau to a steady state economy in which the majority of economic activity needs to not depend on physically intensive

An examplein the energy domain demonstrates theabsurdity of indefinite growth in the physicalrealm.
for - absurdity of indefinite economic growth - energy projection example of recent energy trends
-absurdity of indefinite economic growth - energy projections - Energy growth has typically been 2–3% per year since early 1900's. - This is approximately equivalent to 10x each century - Present-day energy output is 18 TW and extrapolates to - - approx.100 TW in 2100, - approx. 1,000 TW in 2200, etc. - In 400 years, from today, we would exceed the total solar power incident on Earth - In 1300 years from today, we would exceed the entire output of the Sun in all directions - In 2400 years from today, we would exceed the energy output of all 100 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy - This last jump is made impossible by the fact that even light cannot cross the galaxy in fewer than 100,000 years. - Hence, physics puts a hard limit on how long our energy growth enterprise could possibly continue
-
The red curve in the right panel of Fig.3 shows a more realistic trajectory for theeconomy in the face of a steady physicalscale. In this example, non-physical activitiesare allowed to comprise 75% of the economybefore saturating. Although this upperlimit is arbitrary, its exact value does notchange the resulting saturation of the overalleconomy.
for - steady state economy - when we hit physical constraints - a major percentage of our economy needs to be non-physical
-
In this case, the non-physical elements of the economy areconstrained (arbitrarily) to grow no higher than 75% of the total, resulting in only a modest amount ofdecoupled economic growth before flattening.Nature PHysics | www.nature.com/naturephysics
for - adjacency - question - degrowth? - circular economy? - steady state - regenerative processes
adjacency - between - degrowth - circular economy - regenerative practices - steady state economy - adjacency relationship - Where did the 75% number come from? Is there anything special about it? Is it some kind of a limit from the model? - Would circular and regenerative practices play an important role in this? - This would seem to indicate a degrowth type scenario. Degrowth is a misnomer, it doesn't imply continual economic downward trend, - but is specifically addressing a the decrease of physical human economic activity - that is responsible for our excessive pollution load / biodiversity loss - to levels necessary to avoid the worst impacts - It isn't explicitly stated that the other half of degrowth is growth of non-physical economic activity that nurtures and nourishes humanity
-
It seems ludicrous to imagine that these vitalresources incapable of further expansionwould become essentially free of charge.
for - question - transition - from capitalism to a form of socialism?
question - capitalism to a form of socialism? - To say it seems ludicrous is an opinion that makes sense from a traditional capitalists perspective - From a socialist perspective, it seems feasible - Nothing is free of charge, however, even in socialism, there is always some price an individual must pay, it's more about the incentive structure that differentiates the two - capitalism - polarized towards self-centric perspective - socialism -balanced self-and-other perspective
adjacency - between - capitalism - socialism - differing perspective on self/other worldview - adjacency relationship - While capitalism relies on a self-centric perspective, socialism relies on a more balanced self/other perspective
-
Continued economic growth in the faceof steady-state physical resources wouldrequire all growth to be effectively in thenon-physical sector, possibly assisted bymodest efficiency improvements in howwe use physical resources.
for - decoupling - economic growth from - physical resources
-
it is unclear what mightprevent economic growth from continuingapace even in the context of stalled growthin the physical domain. The idea of‘decoupling’ in economics addresses exactlythis point.
for - question - decoupling economics from physical resources- degrowth?
question - decoupling economics from physical resources- degrowth? - The author seems to be talking about continuing an economy with - less and less reliance on physically intensive activities, hence significantly reducing our carbon and physical resource intensity

We must therefore becareful to understand the phenomenonand its implications so that we do not toallow a panicked departure from growththat may result in unnecessary suffering orill-intentioned opportunists exploitingthe chaos
for - question - climate adaptation - resiliency - how do we prepare for potential collapse?
question - climate adaptation - how do we prepare for potential collapse? - How do we prepare? - preparation needs to take place at national, community and individual / family level - Resiliency will depend on how ill prepared we are at each of these levels - How do we prepare for: - high levels of suffering - ill-intentioned opportunists who are ready to exploit the chaos?

Given that assumptions of quantitativegrowth are pervasive in our society andhave been present for many generations,it is perhaps not surprising that growth isnot widely understood to be a transientphenomenon. Early thinkers on the physicaleconomy, such as Adam Smith, ThomasMalthus, David Ricardo and John Stuart Millsaw the growth phase as just that: a phase9

Another way to frame physicallimitations to growth is in terms of wasteheat, which is the end product of nearlyall energetic utilization on Earth.
for - absurdity of indefinite economic growth - waste heat projection example of recent waste heat trends
absurdity of indefinite economic growth - waste heat projection example of recent waste heat trends - At present, the waste heat term is about four orders of magnitude smaller than the solar term. - But at a growth factor of ten per century, they would reach parity in roughly 400 years. - Indeed, the surface temperature of Earth would reach the boiling point of water (373 K) in just over 400 years under this relentless prescription.

In complex real world issues, there is often no incentive structure - Real life isn't all 1-1 interactions

comment - Deep Humanity is not a religion, but a deeper understanding of our own humanity, what is it to be human? - but just as important, to understand the distinction between - human nature and - nature - For if human nature is a subset of nature, - which the adjective-noun "human nature" implies - then there is something within humans that is of nature herself - Is it possible that the many fragmented spiritual paths that have emerged in different parts of the world merely reflect the different environs from which they developed, and that in fact, they all are searching for the same essence? - If so, then in perhaps the times we are in are calling us for a global recognition of our common denominators that make us ALL human, - and then the even deeper common denominator with nature herself - So what are those qualities we all have in common as human beings? - and also, what are the qualities our species has in common with nature herself? - neuroscientist David Eagleman coined the term "possibileanism". Perhaps it is that?
-
most of the great religions in the world have been attempts to to restrain or reform uh human nature or at least uh channel our worst impulses into something 01:10:48 more productive or higher something loftier um and in this this is exactly what we need here it's something that will create a form of altruism which doesn't only extend to people we see around us now but extends 01:11:00 to the future generations
for - rapid whole system change - need for something that will create a new form of altruism - Ronald Wright - transition - requires an experience of re-awakening transition - need for a new religion? Deep Humanity?
comment 10 July 2024 - Deep Humanity is our attempt at this. It is not a religion, however. It is humanity, but in the deepest sense, so it is accessible to anyone in our species. Our tagline has been - Rekindling wonder in an age of crisis - However, this morning an adjacency occurred:
adjacency - between - familiarity - wonder - adjacency relationship - Familiarity hides wonder - Richard Dawkins said: - There is an anaesthetic of familiarity, - a sedative of ordinariness - which dulls the senses and hides the wonder of existence. - For those of us not gifted in poetry, - it is at least worth while from time to time - making an effort to shake off the anaesthetic. - What is the best way of countering the sluggish habitutation brought about by our gradual crawl from babyhood? - We can't actually fly to another planet. - But we can recapture that sense of having just tumbled out to life on a new world - by looking at our own world in unfamiliar ways. - That is, when a type of experience becomes familiar through repeated sensory episodes, - we lose the feeling of wonder we had when we initially experienced it - It's much like visiting a place for the very first time. We are struck with a sense of wonder because everything is unpredictable, in a safe way. We have no idea what's around the next corner. It's a surprise. - However, once we live there, and have traced that route hundreds of times, we have transformed that first magical experience into mundane experience. - So it is with everything that makes us human, with all the foundational things about reality that we learned from the moment we were born. - They have all become jaded. We've forgotten the awe of those first experiences in this reality: - our first experience of our basic senses - our first breath of air, instead of amniotic fluid - our first integration of multiple sensory experiences into a cohesive whole - the birth of objectification - the very first application of objectification to form the object we called mOTHER - the Most significant OTHER - our first encounter with the integration of multiple sensory stimuli associated with each object we construct - our first encounter with auditory human, speech symbols - our first experience with object continuity - how objects still exist even if they disappear from view momentarily - do we remember freaking out when mOTHER disappeared from view momentarily? - our first ability to communicate with mOTHER through speech symbols - our first encounter with ability to control our bodies through our own volition - our first encounter with gravity, the pull towards the ground - our first encounter with a large bright sphere suspended in the sky - our first encounter with perspective, how objects change size in our field of view as they get nearer or farer - etc... - What's missing now, is that we have repeated all these experiences so many times, that the feeling of awe no longer emerges with life - To generate awe, the repertoire of existing experiences is insufficient - now we have to create NEW experiences, we have to create novelty - Mortality Salience can help jolt us out of this fixation on novelty, and remind us of the sacred that is already here all the time - For, what happens at the time of death? All the constructions we have taken for granted in life disappear all at once, or perhaps some before others - Hence, we begin to re-experience them as relative, as constructions, and not absolutes - All living organisms have their own unique umwelt - These umwelts are all expressions of the sacred, sensing itself in different ways
- What is required is a kind of awakening, or re-awakening
- When religions do their job, it gives us a framework to engage in a shared sense of the sacred, of wonder in the mundane
- In a sense, Deep Humanity is identifying that most vital commonality in all religions and seeing all their diverse intersectionalities in simply being deeply human
- We awakened once, when we were born into the world
- then we fell asleep through the dream of familiarity
- Now, we have to collectively re-awaken to the wonder we all experienced in that initial awakening experience as newborns
-
