Science Thread

I want to talk science… more or less always… I think my days of self-analysis are coming to and end.

I used to speculate on the ways to divide and organize all knowledge under one generalized tree. The definitions build up from simple “primordials,” as I took to calling them, Then from those new “additionals” are woven in a web of dependency.

It’d allow you to pick a topic and much like a dictionary it refer you to these dependencies in an organized fashion.

Now I haven’t begun building this tree. It’s multidimensional and I lack a good medium to assemble it. I have though laid out the general structure of how knowledge can be divided.

Knowledge of what is constant. (Physics)
Knowledge of what has been. (History)
Knowledge of what is present. (Perception)
Knowledge of what can potentially occur. (Rationalization)

In computer science it’s called an ontological structure. Ontology is otherwise philosophical, the analysis of what is, and why, and what purpose.

It has strong applications for artificial intelligence. The better assembled the framework of knowledge, the more simple the process for a computer program to resolve and recall needed data for rationalization.

I think the strongest application of AI is not becoming the thing that does all of our work, but it becomes our reference. Every question you have answered in a way that is tailored to you as needed. Expanding human intelligence along side the birth/expansion of digital intelligence.

So let’s start with that… What do you think of artificial intelligence and how it can fit into the world?

I see a layer of autonomy that will free people from drudgery along side that educational reference that empowers individuals in a way that allows them to fit into the softer side of economics. Entertainers, Educators, Financial advisers, Designers, Engineers, Artists, Musicians… I mean it has potential applicability in all regards to human understanding.

Like an ad-hoc lecture on any topic you choose at any point in time. Then aside from that you can focus on what humans are supposed to be focused on. Enjoying the ongoing moment of life.

I like how you divided knowledge. Keep it up Azley you certainly found your niche I think. I ain’t going to lie most of it went over my head. My scientific view is that the scientific community on this planet is peanuts compared to rest of civilization dollars aren’t headed that way as much as it should. But the advancements I’ve been reading have been spectacular. Science with the right attention span is the right drug the world needs. But who is keeping science relevant I think the kardashians are more relevant to society as a whole pal. Sad to say. I’d like AI and technology like Mark Zuckerberg but the way we’re headed mental health first before the excitement all that science has to offer for me.

I like this ^

Technology pushes forward pretty well. The electronics industry and automotive industry have to constantly out-do themselves in order to justify new sales.

It’s the same with the meds, but that’s a much more complicated process.

The medical field in general is always moving forward. It’s kind of in the background now but genetic sciences are still chugging along.

You’re right though… the opiate of the masses… the television. People don’t like to feel intimidated or challenged… they just want to be entertained.

The opposite end of what we have would be like a dystopia where people are force fed information…

I mean I used to hate it, but I’ve learned to accept that people can do whatever they want.

I do agree with your perspective on a personal level though. Totally feel ya on all that. Cept… the mark zuckerburg thing… that guy makes me jealous :smile:… and I also hate facebook… it’s more like a cool-contest then a place to keep up with real friends.

I would love to talk to you about it the electronic, automotive and medical industries. I can’t expand on much of any of those three major ones. I should know about it I just don’t hold much conversation there. One of those days when I’m awake but could be back asleep but can’t. My neurons ain’t running on all trillion right now so I’ll leave at that and catch up with you on science later Azley take care.

Later man… I’ll keep this thread afloat.

Actually I’m cooking breakfast and thought how science may mean so much to me or you. That science what I know hardly nothing of is a delusion in the eyes of those who just aren’t concerned. Like mental health. I’m a visionary advocate in global mental health healing where the hardships outweigh the work effort. No matter how intelligent a person may be if they can not relate on a medium which has a universal understanding like God and it’s complexities a person may not find much of a thread in science among the schizo community. We’re too busy handling mind illnesses and hardships while the entertained just seem to know a whole lot about nothing. Science, if it were a religion I’d be in church every Sunday.

Hah… yeah this isn’t the best place for a science oriented discussion… but it’s the community I feel I belong to the most.

The more you know, the more you know you don’t know ■■■■.

I am community shy to where I belong but I understand the importance of science discussion even in a schizo oriented website. People are deeply concerned with details of their day to day and discuss those details. with friends and family it’s sort of beyond the scope where mental health is a concern but I don’t see why it shouldn’t be just as relevant because I see science and medicine tie in together. religion does things science does things people just have to stay intact or they’ll get burned for it like some great king’s astronomers for not predicting the comets fore coming correctly in the past. Science to me is evidence im not biased to just science because the unseen reality some care so much about, study about gets undermined until a super hero like cool Mark Zuckerberg and his grey tshirts he did connect people immensely gotta give him credit for that anyway I’m on all day crawling I feel but must have the mental strength to stay positive towards everybody including their money situations and a look out for opportunities for yourself. Cheers!

I think that what you might infer from my posts here is “artificial intelligence”. Did I contribute yet? :smiley:

Edit: note to self: one coffee is often one too many.

i just went to a tech conference,

ai is going to be infiltrating pretty much every industry we can think of.

some people were saying that it could turn the world more socialist, and others say that there will still be stuff for humans to do that still ‘feels like work’

ai is going to eliminate millions of jobs. the self driving car alone (which already is working in europe on trucks)
http://www.wlwt.com/video/the-weather-channel/selfdriving-trucks-drive-across-europe/38985612
is going to eliminate taxis, bus drivers, truck drivers, etc.

but there is a trickle down effect to that, example: less accidents less doctors, less police, less fireman, less lawyers, insurance companies will go under.

its pretty crazy stuff.

in the tech industry and business, pretty much everything is working its way to the cloud as well.

im actually quite excited to see whats going to be going on in the next 5-10 years

it’s a blurry line…

volvo for liiiiiife!

We’ll see. I’m excited about it.

More machines = lower costs. The standard of living increases… less need for earned income.

That’s what is going to change. This work oriented life-style

Not many are left to hunt for themselves in the western world… it’s kind of the same thing.
