Memes 5: Gnostic Evolution
Part 5 of 5
In The God Delusion, Richard Dawkins derided Carl Jung for claiming he 'knows God'. Is there a rational basis for such a claim? Well, it depends on the meaning of knowledge, which is a question that has divided humanity for millenia. And the difference between 'memes' and 'archetypes' is yet another example of this very divide.

Memes 4: Beyond Good and Evil

Part 4 of 5 If someone said they knew something that you couldn't possibly know - how would you respond? Would you call them delusional, or elitist? The Archetype of Conflict is predictably defined by this question: when one strategy attacks the other by claiming superior knowledge. Custom Taijitu footage courtesy of: www.youtube.com/@HaileISela
Memes 3: Logic and Symbols
Переглядів 3816 місяців тому
Part 3 of 5 In the early 13th century, the Catholic Church exterminated the French Cathars for their heresies against Christianity. Considering the logic of this religious conflict leads into a brief survey of Western philosophy. After discovering that a science of opinions is impossible, we must turn to symbols in our search for a unifying truth. Custom Taijitu footage courtesy of: www.youtube...
Memes: Their Death and Resurrection

Part 1 of 5 Starting from The Selfish Gene (1976), I review the failure of 'memetics' to become a science and ask what happened to the intellectual enthusiasm for the concept of memes. Can we rescue memes from their hijacking by the internet? Or are memes truly nothing more than the digital currency of wit and sarcasm?

    I use "Ruliad god" a lot with my friends talk to about theology. Everything else that is conscious I believe is a qualified non-dualistic version of the ruliad. We are recusdions in the rule set bound in the system.

    great series! Im curious, this does seem to assume that survival and truth are the same, which makes sense from a genetic/memetic/archetypical stand point, it just isn't the case 'necessarily'. Its almost as if these ideas want to survive, and use ouer reliance upon them as a measuring stick for success.. Very selfish indeed.. almost spooky :^) Hope this makes sense

    • @ScientificGenius
      @ScientificGenius 2 місяці тому

      Thanks and yes, according to game theory, the strategy that wins more often will be selected for over time. Basically, 'truth wins', but wins at what? For animals, winning means genetic survival. For humans, winning can mean martyrdom, or genetic extinction (Cathars). So the game of cultural evolution is more abstract than the game of material survival, which is how trinitarian (3) and quaternarian (4) strategies have emerged.

    There is causality in synchronicity - it just doesn't immediately precede the effect. Synchronicity is a quantum event, and quantum events are probabilistic not deterministic. In other words there is a lag time between cause and effect.

    What I can say about Aristotle to help you understand his term Theology is this: Aristotle was a polytheist who started living 384 years before Christ in ancient Greece. So in order to understand what words meant then, it's necessary to look at etymology. Let's do that. We think (the current paradigm) that the Greek word Theos means God. This is etymologically false. The root in Greek is The- and is a root shared in other ancient PIE languages such as Sanskrit, where the Th- is instead a Dh-. The- in ancient Greek means: to put, place, rank, arrange, position. In ancient Greece, the demigods were not called demigods (that's a modern term); rather, they were called 'arrangers' ie, arrangers of the fates of man. Each polytheistic god had some responsibility over an area of human life: the land/farming, love life, weather, the sea/navigation, etc. You prayed to these characters to ask for specific things eg to pray to Poisiden for a safe journey over the sea. The gods were seem as watchers of mankind who conducted our affairs through their acts. So Theo (where the o is an omega) in Greek literally means 'I arrange' and Theos means arranging. Theory is am arrangement, and Theatre is a performance made up of an arrangement of acts. In that sense, the connection between maths and physics is a generalised study of arrangement, pattern, order. In terms of Wolframs complexity ideas, the arrangements are simple but with the power to combine and in combination, emergence arises. The basis of non-linear systems which give rise to emergence is this idea of non-function specific interaction of components which occurs when there are significant interactions~~~ that are unrelated to a component's function within a system~~~which none the less impact the systems structure and function in am emergent fashion.

    I agree you should listen to your conscience, i also favour Gnosticism, but there's a logical problem with your decision - you were going to be 'vaccinated' by the virus one way or another. Your choice was to risk getting one of the wild type complete viruses rather than an antigen based on it that will give your immune system time to deal better with the wild type. If you catch the virus without primed immune system you will more likely pass it to others, hence the politics / morality of the situation. I don't know what country you were in, but in America more than a million died, countless health professionals lives were taken to brink dealing with it, and there's the ongoing issue of long COVID. In terms of ethics - was there actually a vaccine mandate? No, you were just asked to not come to school to avoid spreading the virus. Similar situation with smoking - there is no ban, you are just required to not force others to smoke. In terms of vaccination in general - have you thought through how miserable life would be if there's no vaccination, and antibiotics... I suspect your decision is based on a feel for the culture, the insanity of electing trump, collapse of democracy, gangster capitalism, loss of trust in institutions etc Ps i understand your position, and respect it, but it comes with a correspond morality adjustment, otherwise you are forcing Gnosticism on others. I hope you stayed home and made more of your excellent presentations, i just listened to your thoughts on Wolfram, absolutely brilliant!

    This is one of the best videos about Synergetics on the web. I really love the connections you make here and the amount of work you put into this is commendable. I disagree with some of the connections you draw and your overall tone comes off as a little bit... critical... or scrutinizing in a way that almost made me think you were going to mock Bucky as a charlatan and lump him into a group with Leadbeater. You have a strong intellect and your ability to summarize and curate presentations is really inspiring. Your intellectual scrutiny and matter of factness can come off as a bit condescending or impermeable, which I felt challenged by in both videos you made on synergetics. You seem to know key points of Synergetics and Fuller's work and your design aesthetic, clear speaking, and pacing through these videos is really superb. I am curious, have you read Synergetics 1&2 in their entirety? I found myself grappling with your statement that Bucky makes a philosophical leap from points to spheres and that he gives no explanation for that. I havent reached a conclusion regarding it, although I know that Modelability plays a role in it... my thoughts on it currently are this: you cannot have a partial, considerable event ~ all considerable events are finite ~ All considerable events have an inside and an outside and are at minimum a tetrahedron ~ all spheres are high frequency polyhedra ~ all polyhedra are complexes of energy events in critical proximity to one another and related through lines of force ~ the centers of spherical event phenomena are related to other spherical event phenomena through lines of force (vectors) that tend toward octet truss arrangements because of how spheres relate to one another in closest-packing ~ Fuller worked to decrease abstraction and increase modelability ~ coordinate systems are not abstractions that we should base our models on rather, coordinate systems themselves are models of observable integrity patterns and the generalized principles of universe provide the "leap" from abstraction to modelability. Anywho, all of this is to say, keep up the great work! Your work is valuable and I am grateful for your assistance in bringing Synergetics into the collective conversation. Cheers ~

      Hey SYN-U, I will leave some thoughts here in response to your wonderful comment. re: Synergetics - I studied vol. 1 thoroughly a little over a decade ago and still have all my original sticky tabs attached to key pages! Vol. 2 came into my awareness later and I’m overall less familiar with it. But since about 2015, I’ve been using the rwgrayprojects online version for most of my research. It’s likely that I’ve covered most of Syn1 as a book and most of Syn2 online. re: tone - in trying to connect Synergetics with quantum physics, I was taking as critical an approach as I could. This is because I wanted to hold Bucky to the highest standard. This is also one of my earliest videos and I’m always working on improving my delivery! I was focused on dictating my script as clearly as possible. re: points and spheres - I think you’re absolutely right about Modelability and I should have paid more attention to this junction in my presentation. I was thinking ‘how do we get from theory to practice?’ when of course Synergetics works in the opposite way. Maybe I wanted an excuse to include Einstein’s view on separability; a consequence of the critical assumptions I was working under. But I also qualified my statement that Bucky doesn’t offer a reason ‘explicitly’, leaving the door open for a more holistic solution like the one you described. I’ll mention that my next video will be different from anything else I’ve made so far. It won’t be about Synergetics (yet) but will have a more ‘comedic’ delivery that prioritizes entertainment as well as research. Coming later this summer!

    I have a love hate with continental philosophy, because on the one hand I find it very interesting and imaginative, but on the other I despise how unclear and allegorical writing it is. I feel that this happens with Feyerabend, in his search to create a new paradigm in epistemology (which he partially achieved), he wrote in a way so different from what we are used to reading in epistemology, that his ideas can easily be understood as if was making an apology for pseudoscience. But, it is simpler to say that Fayerabend concluded that the scientific method is not universal, and therefore is not objective, because all disciplines, in practice, have different methods.
