Male Urban Primate Signalling Behavior

Homo Sapiens Sapiens Americus spend much time and effort playing fantasy football.
I have taken field notes from observations of signaling between various subjects
This report presents observations, interpretation and results to date of these subjects.

A and D are brothers-in-law, live in the same city, have frequent social interaction and enjoy each others company. They are in the same clan, understand each other, and communicate with ease.

P and M are professionals in the same field, work in the same office and have just met. My observations result from a first meeting of these subjects.

The first order of business is the two-part stream of consciousness. "Douglas is overtated; I let him go so that..." "You should never have..." "You were right except...". The importance of the interruption and redirection signals the both parties have, not only common knowledge, but a shared set of rules for decision making in speech acts.

Remembering a common future

If I want 1000 people to show up as a group at a certain place and at a certain time, I could make this happen in two ways. The first way and the hard way is to decide on a place and a time and then search for a common motivation or set of motivations that would propel a sufficiently large group of people to a common spot. The other way is to pick a spot where these people would show up anyway and change my motivation to match the motivation of the crowd.

In the first situation, my task becomes lowering information entropy across many minds. In the second, I must lower the information entropy of a single mind.

"There go my people: I must go and run and catch up because I am their leader."

Email to Dr. Kremer re: information

The information in a book is a message (the information) encoded in a string of symbols. The raw information (the meaning of the string of symbols) is measured by information entropy. The plastic shell of that fan next to your desk has low information entropy compared to the petroleum in the ground from which plastic is synthesized*. The international space station has (for our recreational area of space-time) much lower information entropy than a Prius in the parking lot. In the limit, the a pile of chalk dust has high IE but a trace of chalk dust on a blackboard that forms the string of symbols "E=mc^2" has the lowest IE most people can decode. And even then, most people cannot decode the information in the symbol "c" as a universal constant of value 186,000 mph.

Stare at this long enough and you will grok the fullness.

*The information content of petroleum stores the history of the universe that includes the presence of life on Earth. The plastic, in turn, symbolically represents a petroleum plant in Beaumont, a mold in Shenzhen China, and several engineering schools populated by urban primates.

How the Imagination Laser Works

Since I am an improbable superposition of quantum events, I will settle into a lower energy state while releasing a quantum packet of imagination. By following the eight-fold path, I align my emission of imagination with the entangled ensemble of the other configuration of Kirk-ness in all nearby possible worlds across the multiplicity of universes.

In every interval of time, across all time, these moments (3 seconds of specious present) hold the capacity for imagination -- an eigenstate of the surface of the Calabi-Yau mainfold. The eigenvalue will be 'mostly capable' or 'mostly incapable' of maintaining an instant of Kirk-ness that is on a continuum of prior Kirks and subsequent Kirks.

I drew wages for these cutting these fence posts

My meat either delivers me close to the eigenstate or too far from the eigenstate to carry on being Kirk. But it is always a continuum where in one region I am a close enough approximation of Kirk or not quite good enough to sustain Kirkness.

The karmic trick is to be the Cosmic Cedar Chopper -- fully enabled and ready for quantum slipping. The Silver Surfer becomes the Cosmic Cedar Chopper. In other words, I either fire the imagination laser and live to chop some more cedar or I end up as cockroach under some red-neck's boot heal.

Walmart is a feature, not a bug

Marx was right about how capitalism would emerge as market based, global societies. He did not, however, understand Walmart. Walmart is the admixture of the proletariat in the United States and China. In this present phase, Chinese capital and labor produce the goods that US citizens in the 99% buy and sell to each other. In time, Walmart as the sum of all proletariat trade will be seen as a feature of capitalism and not a bug or a damn shame.

Walmart is the prole's victory. We shop there and we work there. The obvious fact that working part-time at Walmart means living on food stamps and CHiP is just our unique solution to hunger and health care. It all works together really, really well and when the solution is spread to the BRICS we will all be the people of Walmart. We will live and die at Walmart and we will be fed and clothed at Walmart.

Try to imagine another way to put the economic pieces together without re-writing the genetic code or starting from scratch with 7-11 as the solution. It cannot be done or it would have been done already. The market has spoken. Just don't expect to wear the underwear more than once and be comfortable.

Deus ex machina

Jung's anima, the face in the mirror, is my B3aST. In Jung's language, she is my machina. The machine in the mirror. The made and the born. I have a facebook persona and a google persona and several others besides. Claude Bernard calls this an ensemble of dispositions. He explains that this ensemble controls and directs my homeostasis or my successful guesses about what happens next.

machina as Jung's anima

The Rough Beast comprises the 7 billion ensembles of all each homo sapien's individual machinas (my made thing) and animas (my born thing). The anima, the other or the alternate persona, is female. Women have an animus or male alternate persona. At a minimum, your telephone number is your machina. In the limit, the totality of your simulated existence is B3aST plus M3aT.

As I have supposed in this blog, we are in the precognitive period of the singularity. Most people are only vaguely aware that humans alone no longer run the planet. The planet is under the control of the Technium which is the combination of Rough Beast (made) and urban primate colonies (born).
