– Centralised System:
someone or something is in control

– Decentralised System:
no single controlling entity, control is shared among several independent entities
https://m.primal.net/KbEo.jpg


the future is here, it is NOT enough decentralised yet! (you don’t seem to get this, do you?)

if wasabi or phoenix were truly decentralised services, it would have been a non issue for both.

this is the learning-curve phase. it is through continuous experimentation and improvement that the new systemic tools of freedom will be surfacing.

Politicians, lawmakers and policy makers can keep doing their great job:
- bringing the western empire to its knees! (they can scan anything they like, from covidiots’ QR to the messages of the centralized apps etc)

#EU can scan deez nuts! 🥜

Trust the process.

We are not there yet, still early;
gradually and then suddenly…

BTW, #Eurozone is a failed experiment.


nostr:npub13ajk3hhvqys2ev4y68jwxywgs8fsdsuk4y5gkzs874jdyrccvf5qak2yd9, you seem to have a rather limited understanding of the true power of #freedom #technology. As a self-sovereign anarchocapitalist living in one of the countries of the Western world, which is counting years till its empire falls, I can assure you that it is not through the shackles of #regulation that real #change comes about.

No, it is through the unconstrained #innovation and entrepreneurial spirit of the free market that we shall forge a new path forward.

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete”. — Buckminster Fuller

You speak of the "Western World" and its supposed advantages, but let me tell you, true #liberty knows no borders.

Whether I am in Mali or Monaco, the principles of individual sovereignty and decentralised #freedomtechno will always shine through.

The very notion that one must rely on the benevolence of western institutions to achieve success is a fallacy propagated by those who cling to the status quo.

The future belongs to those who dare to dream beyond the confines of the state. With the power of #blockchain, #cryptography, and #p2p networks, we can build a world where no regulator, no bureaucrat, and no central authority can stand in our way.

It is through #freedomtechnology that the true spirit of the libertarian revolution will be realised, and the shackles of oppression will be cast aside.

Stupid politicians and naive policy makers can do as they wish. We simply don’t care! Let ‘em!

The very notion of “funding” is changing rapidly. You describe a world which is long gone. The future is #permissionless. The future is here, it is not enough decentralised as off yet.

So, I say to you, do not be beholden to the false promises of the old establishment. Embrace the boundless potential of the decentralised future, and join us in the fight for true economic and personal #liberty.

For it is only through the unshackled #power of the individual that we shall forge a new path, one that leaves the stifling grip of regulation far behind.

Arrogant? Nonsense. I'm merely operating at a higher level of intellectual sophistication and abstraction that you are most probably finding difficult to follow and comprehend.

True #progress is not achieved by opposing or battling against the status quo!

Chaos Is Beautiful ✨

Chaos has been much maligned and slandered. Even most anarchists refuse to associate themselves with chaos. It has been equated with murder and mayhem. Yet it should be obvious that this is the lying propaganda of the forces of #order. For the history fo the imposition of order is the history of increasing warfare, murder, rape, mayhem and oppression. Order, not chaos, destroys wantonly for it cares only to impose its form on all beings. Only those who dare to be avatars of chaos can stand against the murderous rule of order.

But if chaos is not murder and mayhem as we have been told, then just what is it? Is it #disorder? No, for disorder requires order and chaos is beyond all order. Disorder is order fucking up. The universe is naturally chaotic. When someone tries to impose order on some small part of it, the order will inevitably come into #conflict with the chaotic universe and will start to break down. It is this breaking down of imposed order that is disorder.

Undisturbed by order, #chaos creates #balance. It is not the artificial balance of scales and weights, but the lively, ever-changing balance of a #wild and beautiful dance. It is wonderful; it is magickal. It is beyond any definition, and every attempt to describe it can only be a metaphor that never comes near to its true beauty or erotic energy.

Our freedom depends on learning to be part of chaos’ erotic dance. To do this, we need to get in touch with our animal instincts, our deepest desires. We need to reject every form of #authority, external and internal, for all repress our instincts. We must not seek to be masters of our lives, but rather to truly LIVE, to end every separation within ourselves so that we ARE our lives.

By taking #freedom and pleasure for ourselves now, we become part of the beautiful dance of chaos. We become involved in the magickal adventure of creating paradise on earth now. The bloody history of order ceases to be the only reality we know and the beauty of chaos begins to show through. For chaos is beautiful, the ecstasy of androgynous Eros shining throughout the universe.

Market #Collapse: What Happened on Monday?

The market crash was rather fragmented, with the most significant losses seen in the Japanese markets (-12.4%), Korea (-9.1%), Taiwan (-8.4%), and the cryptocurrency sector, where declines reached up to 16% at one point.

Was the crash in Japan unprecedented? Absolutely!

The three-day decline in the #Nikkei 225 amounted to 19.6%—the worst result in the history of trading. This drop was even more severe than in March 2011 (Fukushima), where markets fell by 17.5%, and worse than the most intense declines in 2008, when the market fell by 18.5% on October 10, 2008, and nearly repeated on October 24-27, 2008 (17.4-17.8% drop over three days). It was also more significant than the October 1987 crash, which saw a 17.5% decline.

Over two days, #Japan plunged 17.5%—also the worst result in history, as the 2008 crash was only 15%, and the 1987 drop was 16.9%.

For a single day, the market saw its second-worst result after October 1987, when it fell by 14.9%.

Given the trading volumes, open interest, and the influence of Japan's stock market on the financial system, this is undoubtedly the most significant stress in history.

The collapse is solely due to the concentration of margin positions and the foolishness that has gripped the markets since early 2024.

The Japanese market led the growth, and unlike in the U.S., where some justification can be found, Japanese companies are in dire straits, with the worst margins among all developed countries.

This also applies to the markets in Korea and #Taiwan, where the trigger for the collapse was overheated tech companies unsupported by real cash flows, leading to a collapse out of nowhere.

For #Korea, the collapse is significant but not a record—there were worse drops in 2008 (-9.5-10.5%) and eight times between 1995 and 2001. Given the current market capitalization and open interest, this is a record.

It’s important to understand the context, structure, and conditions. Markets dropped from all-time highs under the worst #liquidity balance in four years, with a slowing economy and AI-fueled hype from the U.S. market.

The #crypto market experienced one of the strongest hits in its history.

- From the previous day's close to the intraday low on August 5, the market fell 16% across the board, with many positions losing 20-30%. This was the worst day since November 8, 2022 (#FTX bankruptcy). In monetary terms, daily losses amounted to $320 billion—the worst day since December 4, 2021, and the 6th worst day in trading history.

- Over seven days, the #market fell by 31%, or $751 billion. In percentage terms, this is the strongest seller pressure since June 2022 (35% drop), and in monetary terms, it is the second worst result in history after May 19-20, 2021.

- Market volumes increased 3.6 times in spot trading and almost 5 times in derivatives compared to the 30-day average, with #volatility rising 6-8 times!

- Given the open interest, trading volumes, concentration of margin calls, and overall context, August 5 is the worst day in crypto history, surpassing the record of May 19-20, 2021, due to the growth of the client base and open interest over three years.

- Except for #Bitcoin, #Ethereum, BNB, and Solana, the rest of the market fell back to October 2022 levels—the period of maximum depression. Market sentiment has turned extremely bearish after the intense bull run in March.

The #crash was total, the blow to the market too severe. Usually, after such a rout, a bull market does not emerge for 6-12 months, except for the factor of forced liquidity injection, as in 2021.

European and U.S. markets experienced their worst series since 2022 similar to what happened in June and March 2022. But they are far from records, as even in 2015-2016, the declines were more significant, so I won’t focus too much on the minor scuffles.

Yes, #Europe wiped out almost all the accumulated gains for the year but remains in the positive territory, except for France. Given that they dropped from all-time highs, it was quite expected and obvious.

One reason for a muddled architecture is that software often reflects the inherent complexity of the application domain. This is what Brooks called "essential complexity" [Brooks 1995]. In other words, the software is ugly because the problem is ugly, or at least not well understood. Frequently, the organization of the system reflects the sprawl and history of the organization that built it (as per CONWAY’S LAW [Coplien 1995]) and the compromises that were made along the way.

Every reaction we have significantly impacts the energy and behaviour of those around us.

When we respond with kindness and positivity, it encourages others to do the same, fostering a supportive and uplifting environment.

This positive approach creates a ripple effect, spreading goodwill and influencing how others interact with the world.

Conversely, negative reactions can also have a profound impact. Criticism or unkindness can spread tension and demotivate others, affecting their mood and interactions with others.

It's important to be #mindful of how our responses can contribute to either positive or negative atmospheres.

Remember, the way we respond today shapes the interactions of tomorrow.

Let's choose to inspire and elevate each other through our actions and words, ensuring that our influence is positive and empowering.

Both my moral and intellectual development have been influenced by several existential philosophers, most notably Friedrich Nietzsche, a 19th-century German philosopher, poet, and critic. In line with what existentialists teach, I believe that each individual is responsible for his or her own actions and this responsibility cannot be imposed on some aspect of our psyche, such as the id or the subconscious, nor can we attribute it to the conspiracy of a demon or some kind of errant impulse. We are all responsible for what we do! — Mike Mentzer #quotes

this is it. we're moving to a new stage of the Endgame.

Japanese Yen ripping through barriers like paper, passing each level where the BoJ intervened before. The slow motion meltdown has finally begun to accelerate, and authorities are powerless to stop the decline, unless they want to dump their Treasuries.

Yellen probably on the phone with them tonight, warning dire consequences if they put their finger on the button to defend their currency. Japanese PM Kishida met with Biden this month, smiling on the surface, but pain underneath.

He knows, as Kuroda does, the terrible truth:

They are TRAPPED.

With debt to GDP at an eye-watering 263%, they can't afford to normalize rates with the Fed. Since they have to maintain low rates, a massive carry trade opens up, bolstering USD and pulling JPY down consistently. The longer the Fed keeps rates high the worse this blows out. News of a hot inflation in the US this morning made things worse, as now Powell has more justification for "higher for longer".

This means more pain ahead for the Asian behemoth.

In the US, massive 50% downside miss on GDP paired with hot PCE means stagflation is returning. With government interest expense at all time highs and trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see, this means more debt growth as we accelerate across the Monetary Event Horizon.

The walls are beginning to close in.

Attacks on Bitcoin have escalated, first with Feds arresting the developers of Samourai Wallet. Next Phoenix Wallet pulls their app from Appstore, and now DTCC is assigning 100% haircut to all crypto assets.

They're coming for the non-KYC wallets first. Then the nodes. Then self-custody.

Your privacy is at stake. Your future is at stake.

The truth is, they depend on us to keep the whole charade going. We man the barricades of the dying fiat monetary system. Without us working for their money, they have nothing to control us with.

Overcoming the constraints of a social credit system can be challenging, but some strategies individuals might employ include:

1. **Maintaining Privacy:** Being mindful of personal data sharing and using privacy-enhancing technologies like encryption and VPNs can help protect against excessive surveillance.

2. **Positive Behaviors:** Actively engaging in behaviors that are rewarded by the system, such as volunteering, obeying laws, and participating in community activities, can improve one's score.

3. **Legal Rights:** Understanding and asserting legal rights regarding data protection, privacy, and freedom of expression can help individuals navigate the system and challenge unfair practices.

4. **Building Alternative Networks:** Forming networks and communities outside the scope of the social credit system can provide support and resources that aren't dependent on a person's score.

5. **Advocacy and Activism:** Participating in advocacy efforts to raise awareness about the implications of social credit systems and push for reforms or alternatives can help mitigate their negative effects.

Overall, overcoming the constraints of a social credit system often requires a combination of individual actions, community support, and broader societal changes.

LADDER of INFERENCE

There are 7 steps on the ladder that represent our mental processes.

Here's what it looks like from the bottom-up:

7. Available data
This is the reality we are able to observe.

6. Selected data
We select what we pay attention to based on our prior experiences and existing beliefs. We don't have the mental capacity to take in every piece of data available, so we have to make this selection.

5. Interpretations
We give facts meaning. We paraphrase what we see or hear to make sense of it.

4. Assumptions
Based on our interpretation, we make our own personal assumptions.

3. Conclusions
We draw conclusions from our assumptions.

2. Beliefs
Our beliefs are then developed from the conclusions we make.

1. Actions
Finally, we take actions that are rooted in what we believe to be true. https://image.nostr.build/fc0b4150a5401e6247b69c52eeb8774796685a3329373b1db669be33b8596bbb.jpg

On the first day, God created the dog and said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past.  For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years."

The dog said, "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?"

And God saw it was good.

On the second day, God created the monkey and said, "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span."

The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?"

And God, again saw it was good.

On the third day, God created the cow and said, "You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years."

The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?"

And God agreed it was good.

On the fourth day, God created humans and said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years."
But the human said, "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?"
"Okay," said God, "You asked for it."

So that is why for our first twenty years, we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves.

For the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our family.
For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren.

And for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.

In his monetary theory, Mises revived the long forgotten British Currency School principle, prominent until the 1850s, that society does not at all benefit from any increase in the money supply, that increased money and bank credit only causes inflation and business cycles, and that therefore government policy should maintain the equivalent of a 100 percent gold standard.

Mises added to this insight the elements of his business cycle theory: that credit expansion by the banks, in addition to causing inflation, makes depressions inevitable by causing “malinvestment,” i.e. by inducing businessmen to overinvest in “higher orders” of capital goods (machine tools, construction, etc.) and to underinvest in consumer goods.

The problem is that inflationary bank credit, when loaned to business, masquerades as pseudo-savings, and makes businessmen believe that there are more savings available to invest in capital goods production than consumers are genuinely willing to save. Hence, an inflationary boom requires a recession which becomes a painful but necessary process by which the market liquidates unsound investments and reestablishes the investment and production structure that best satisfies consumer preferences and demands.

Mises, and his follower Hayek, developed this cycle theory during the 1920s, on the basis of which Mises was able to warn an unheeding world that the widely trumpeted “New Era” of permanent prosperity of the 192Os was a sham, and that its inevitable result would be bank panic and depression. When Hayek was invited to teach at the London School of Economics in 1931 by an influential former student at Mises’s private seminar, Lionel Robbins, Hayek was able to convert most of the younger English economists to this perspective. On a collision course with John Maynard Keynes and his disciples at Cambridge, Hayek demolished Keynes’s Treatise on Money, but lost the battle and most of his followers to the tidal wave of the Keynesian Revolution that swept the economic world after the publication of Keynes’s General Theory in 1936.

The policy prescriptions for business cycles of Mises-Hayek and of Keynes were diametrically opposed. During a boom period, Mises counseled the immediate end of all bank credit and monetary expansion; and, during a recession, he advised strict laissez-faire, allowing the readjustment forces of the recession to work themselves out as rapidly as possible.

Not only that: for Mises the worst form of intervention would be to prop up prices or wage rates, causing unemployment, to increase the money supply, or to boost government spending in order to stimulate consumption. For Mises, the recession was a problem of under-saving, and over-consumption, and it was therefore important to encourage savings and thrift rather than the opposite, to cut government spending rather than increase it. It is clear that, from 1936 on Mises was totally in opposition to the worldwide fashion in macroeconomic policy.


Imagine life as a big race where everyone is running. But here’s the thing: each person has their own track and their own speed. It’s like everyone’s running their own special race.

Now, why is it important to stick to your own track and not worry about how fast others are going?

Well, think about it this way:

— if you keep looking at how fast others are running, you might trip and fall. You might lose focus on where you’re going. Plus, everyone has different strengths and weaknesses. Some people might be really fast at the start, but they get tired quickly. Others might start slow but finish strong.

When you run your own race at your own pace, you’re focusing on what’s best for you. You’re not comparing yourself to others or trying to be something you’re not. You’re giving yourself the chance to grow and improve in your own time, without feeling pressured by what everyone else is doing.

So, always remember:
— it’s okay to take things at your own speed.

Trust yourself, stay true to your path, and enjoy the journey, no matter how fast or slow it may be.

#AI, the great equalizer?

#Artificialintelligence (AI) has often been hailed as having the potential to be the great equalizer - a technology that could help alleviate global inequalities. However, when we examine the development and deployment of AI systems through the lens of complicated, emergent systems, it becomes clear that AI will likely follow the tendency of new technologies to exacerbate rather than ameliorate inequality.

A core reason AI will not necessarily be an equalizing force is what we might call "the problem of unequal data." The datasets used to train AI systems reflect wider socio-economic disparities and biases. Facial recognition systems, for example, have been shown to work less accurately for non-white populations. As long as the underlying data reflects existing inequalities, AI will likely propagate and amplify those divides. Treating AI as an impartial, egalitarian technology ignores how it emerges from and interacts with complex human systems and institutions.

Relatedly, while AI could improve efficiency and access to services like healthcare for disadvantaged groups, current development trajectories suggest the benefits will likely accrue disproportionately to the already privileged. Those with more resources can dedicate them to harnessing AI, attracting talent to develop new systems towards their own ends. Rather than mitigating inequality, rewards follow the tendency of capitalist markets to centralize resources within dominant groups. Even public goods like healthcare risk optimizing more for those already well-served by the system.

Finally, increasing reliance on algorithmic decision-making shifts power into technical systems that few understand and have oversight over. This creates potential vulnerabilities and blindspots - dynamics that historically have harmed marginalized communities most. It remains an open question whether governance mechanisms can be established ensuring AI systems answer equally across populations.

The dream that technological progress leads inevitably to greater equality is a stubborn one. But if we have learned anything about complex emergent systems, it is that technology alone does not correct entrenched societal issues—and often exacerbates them. AI is no exception; technological change depends fundamentally on how human values and institutions guide its development. True progress requires conscientious steering of that process towards justice and empowerment for all people. AI will do little to challenge status quos if we do not intentionally shape it to do so.

Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world." – Author Unknown

Natural sea salt ≠ Industrial salt:

— Natural sea salt is harvested from evaporated seawater and often contains trace minerals, giving it a distinct flavor.

— Industrial salt, on the other hand, is typically mined from underground deposits and may undergo processing, which can remove impurities but also certain minerals found in sea salt.

The intricate dance of neurobiology aligns with your assertion—dwelling in past experiences often triggers rumination and depressive tendencies, tied to the brain's default mode network. Conversely, fixating on an uncertain future activates stress responses, courtesy of the amygdala's vigilance. Yet, the serenity of the present moment, associated with #mindfulness and a calmer prefrontal cortex, allows for a cognitive shift. Amid this tranquility, recognition of triumph emerges as the brain integrates positive experiences, affirming that the neuroscientific equilibrium of the present is conducive to the perception that, indeed, we are winning.

The Best of the Father of Czech #Music. 🇨🇿

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7kJp6suBMw

Bedřich Smetana (2 March 1824 – 12 May 1884) was a Czech composer who pioneered the development of a musical style that became closely identified with his country's aspirations to independent statehood. He has been regarded in his homeland as the father of Czech music. Internationally he is best known for his opera The Bartered Bride and for the symphonic cycle Má vlast ("My Homeland"), which portrays the history, legends and landscape of the composer's native Bohemia. It contains the famous symphonic poem "Vltava", also known by its English name "The Moldau".

Smetana was naturally gifted as a composer, and gave his first public performance at the age of 6. After conventional schooling, he studied music under Josef Proksch in Prague. His first nationalistic music was written during the 1848 Prague uprising, in which he briefly participated. After failing to establish his career in Prague, he left for Sweden, where he set up as a teacher and choirmaster in Gothenburg, and began to write large-scale orchestral works. During this period of his life Smetana was twice married; of six daughters, three died in infancy.

In the early 1860s, a more liberal political climate in Bohemia encouraged Smetana to return permanently to Prague. He threw himself into the musical life of the city, primarily as a champion of the new genre of Czech opera. In 1866 his first two operas, The Brandenburgers in Bohemia and The Bartered Bride, were premiered at Prague's new Provisional Theatre, the latter achieving great popularity. In that same year, Smetana became the theatre's principal conductor, but the years of his conductorship were marked by controversy. Factions within the city's musical establishment considered his identification with the progressive ideas of Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner inimical to the development of a distinctively Czech opera style. This opposition interfered with his creative work, and might have hastened a decline in health that precipitated his resignation from the theatre in 1874.

By the end of 1874, Smetana had become completely deaf but, freed from his theatre duties and the related controversies, he began a period of sustained composition that continued for almost the rest of his life. His contributions to Czech music were increasingly recognised and honoured, but a mental collapse early in 1884 led to his incarceration in an asylum and subsequent death. Smetana's reputation as the founding father of Czech music has endured in his native country, where advocates have raised his status above that of his contemporaries and successors. However, relatively few of Smetana's works are in the international repertory, and most foreign commentators tend to regard Antonín Dvořák as a more significant Czech composer.

Ruins of a 3000-year-old Armenian fortress discovered in Lake Van, Turkey

https://archeologyofamerican.com/vubtvlita/ruins-of-a-3000-year-old-armenian-fortress-discovered-in-lake-van-turkey/

The 3,000-year-old remains of an ancient fortification have been discovered at the bottom of Turkey’s largest lake. The underwater excavations were led by Van Yüzüncü Yıl University and the governorship of Turkey’s eastern Bitlis Province.

The castle is said to belong to the Iron Age Armenian civilization also known as the Kingdom of Van, Urartu, Ararat and Armenia. The lake itself is believed to have been formed by a crater caused by a volcanic eruption of Mount Nemrut near the province of Van. The current water level of the reservoir is about 150 meters higher than it was during the Iron Age.

Divers exploring Lake Van discovered the incredibly well-preserved wall of a castle, thought to have been built by the Urartu civilization. Experts had been studying the body of water for a decade before it revealed the fortress lost deep below its surface.

Complicated Thinking [:]

1. Complicated thinking involves analysing and interpreting information beyond what is immediately visible, considering multiple perspectives and potential implications.

2. Complicated thinkers possess deep levels of insight and intuition, allowing them to see things in multiple dimensions and uncover hidden meanings and connections.

3. Complicated thinkers tend to question assumptions, challenge established norms, and take risks, leading to breakthroughs and innovations.

4. Complicated thinking requires patience, creativity, and a willingness to explore new ideas and concepts.


How to deal with #complexity:

1. recognise which type of system you are dealing with

2. think “manage, not solve”

3. employ a “try, learn, and adapt” operating strategy

4. develop a complexity mindset.


“The measure of #intelligence is the ability to #change.” — Albert Einstein #quotes


The first major attempt at establishing a true field of #artificialintelligence was the Dartmouth workshop in 1956. This would see some of the foremost minds in the fields of mathematics, neuroscience, and computer sciences come together to essentially brainstorm on a way to create what they would term ‘artificial intelligence’, following the more common names at the time like ‘thinking machines’ and automata theory.

Despite the hopeful attitude during the 1950s and 1960s, it was soon acknowledged that Artificial Intelligence was a much harder problem than initially assumed. Today, #AI capable of thinking like a human is referred to as artificial general intelligence (#AGI) and still firmly the realm of science-fiction. Much of what we call ‘AI’ today is in fact artificial narrow intelligence (#ANI, or Narrow AI) and encompasses technologies that approach aspects of AGI, but which are generally very limited in their scope and application.

Most ANIs are based around artificial neural networks (ANNs) which roughly copy the concepts behind biological neural networks such as those found in the neocortex of mammals, albeit with major differences and simplifications. ANNs like classical NNs and recurrent NNs (RNNs) — what’s used for #chatGPT and Codex — are programmed during training using backpropagation, which is a process that has no biological analog.

Essentially, #RNN-based models like chatGPT are curve fitting models, which use regression analysis in order to match a given input with its internal data points, the latter of which are encoded in the weights assigned to the connections within its network. This makes NNs at their core mathematical models, capable of efficiently finding probable matches within their network of parameters. When it comes to chatGPT and similar natural language synthesis systems, their output is therefore based on probability rather than understanding. Therefore much like with any ANN the quality of this output is is highly dependent on the training data set.

While conclusive logic is undeniably a fundamental aspect of intelligence, it would be overly reductionist to assert that it is the sole determinant. Intelligence encompasses a wide range of cognitive faculties, including creativity, abstract thinking, and adaptability, which may sometimes involve elements of fiction or imagination. Therefore, intelligence is not exclusively tied to conclusive logic, but rather a multifaceted construct that draws upon various mental processes…

The mindful approach to asking questions towards enhancing learning and communication:

1. Before asking a #question, one should consider their underlying motivations or objectives.

Are you seeking information, trying to understand a concept, or aiming to solve a problem?

By reflecting on what you want to learn, you can ask more precise and relevant questions.

2. Before posing a question, it's beneficial to gather context and background #knowledge.

Individuals should think about what they already know or don't know about a topic.

This can help frame the question effectively and lead to a more fruitful exchange of information.

3. Effective #communication involves not only asking questions but also understanding why you are asking them.

By considering what you want to learn, you can convey your intentions more clearly to others, making it easier for them to provide the information or assistance you seek.
