Next discussion date is in 10 minutes: Wed, Nov 12, at 12:30 pm EDT.
The paper: Marvin Minsky, “Steps Toward Artificial Intelligence” (1961). A long but non-technical paper - it is mostly conceptual.
Darren Lott will lead the discussion.

Join @braininspired.bsky.social today to revisit another foundational work in cognitive / complexity science, and reflect on how biology confronts the intelligence.
These diagrams are the first logic gates. They inspired von Neumann and others in the design of logic circuits for digital computers.

I recently joined the Sky Meadow Institute as a Research Consultant and Brendan Graham Dempsey (Founder) invited me to discuss the intersection of our works (meta-rationality and the meaning paradigm) and my newest theory, autopoiethics, on his Metamodern Meaning Podcast.

Some of the books I read in 2024
One of the shortest and best books I read in 2024 is "The Evidence of Things Not Seen: Reflections on Faith, Science, and Economics" by Vernon L. Smith. It contains Smith's lecture at the Acton Institute’s annual conference in 2016, commentary on it, and a conversation and interview with him.

After reading more theology recently:
They're not the same picture, but they rhyme.
God = Optimality (axiomatic normativity)
Christ = resource rationality (embodied/incarnated ideal)
Holy Spirit = Proleptic rationality/Aspiration
