On process in different languages

A friend of mine pointed to the differences that language makes to the thinking of the nation. When looking for the word for "making an insight" (word is absent from English, despite the obvious need that it has for education and development) that in Finnish there are words to describe it
"eläytyminen" - has the word stem to live or to become alive and
"oivallus" - means excellence forming

I then start to think about varius endings of verbs and that there are so many ways in FinnoUgric languages to make verbs

In Finnish
-llus
-nnus
-muus


In Estonian
-ldus
-mus
-mine
-tumine
-tus
-dus
-davus
-as
-tsioon
-uur
-ndumus
-lus
-tamine

There is an important reason for this in programming and in design and modelling in specific, in fact English is not very useful for thinking in terms of the processes involved for specifying programming. Thinking in Finnish would help : ) This is from the viewpoint of that programmer should begin from process in the system and later define the objects that have these processes.
This would create a more optimal and faster code in terms of computing resources used.

My own Manhattan project

SENS(Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senesence) seems to be coming to the beginning of the project and research phase. Where ideas that derived from researching the causes of aging in humans are used to propose ways to cure the ailments and problems caused by aging.
Stem cell cultivation is one success.
AGEMAP project is another - how genes transcript to create the molecular system of cells which fails by degradation and pollution as time passes.

The idea is that perhaps everyone should run a project like that. What would be my Manhattan Project and I think it would have to be the creation of Utopia. This connects to other unbelievable projects that seem to be great and would benefit humanity. I saw a film where a software programming lecturer said that programming cannot be used to solve problems like world hunger or epidemies. I think that is a limited thinking and specific systems could be written to achieve such social projects too. There are several approaches that i can see : simulation of existing systems, platforms for social networks created to find and unite people who solve the problems, design of systems, design of robots, planning for developments to solve the problems, knowledge repositories for the utilsed and useful solutions.

Someprojects that will shape the future
  • Terraforming
  • Construction Robotics
  • SENS Methuselah project/Longevity
  • Stellar colonisation
  • Stellar construction robots
  • Farming robotics
  • End of work
  • K-Web/Semantic Web
  • Open Source Software/Teaching
  • End of Wars
  • End of hunger

Dramas on the playground

J. Redfield described life dramas that reduce peoples energy and keep people from their life purpose. They are also linked to some of the social interaction antipatterns described in the 70.

I noticed that even their reverses are hindrances to human relations and they are also related to the phenomena of propagation and conservation of tension.

Eric Berne used the term of games to describe social interaction.
Jean Huyzinga was on the same line to describe peoples existential choices.

The Greatest topic - On Love

yeah ok i love you
no this one i love the one who smiles at me like a sunshine and i know that this is so old-fashionable to say that that no modern people of my time would express it this way
however love is an archetype it flows even when meaning changes in human history.
if this is worth one look even though it is as simple as it could be
then there must be worth in things more complicated to compare them, or to be wise enoguh to know their place without resorting to comparison thus elevating both. Clearly love blinds and i noticed the swathes of mistakes only later

this is something that works as a preamble.

a few years ago in 2004 a met a young poetess who is remarkable and writes under a pseudonym, when i spoke to her of my ideas about love and that philosophers have not esteemed it as the most often occurring of themes, she told me to write it all down. I know only of Hannah Arendt who has written on love.
Well there are others and recently there has been Zizek the Lacanian Marxist.
Zizek tells how love allows us to perceive absolute beauty through our partner as an object of love.
There is also a Derrida interview and he avoids it for half of it until speaking.
Michael Hardt has a lecture on love.


philosophia is a special object of love and therefore it does not lend itself to an inquiry of the somatic nature of man too easily and on another note there is the mystery of love, that forms essence without anything, even thoughts or cognition, and wipes discrimination. In this it continues development of man and is so close to another such semios -- God.


I will do it. And there is a lot. The original essay may be lost. Love lives forever.

Some people to read on this topic are
Erich Fromm Art of Loving 
Luce Irigaray The way of Love
Plato The Symposium

Space migration

human being is set to expand the sensory perception in the ways sometimes and usually fairly narrowly described by transhumanism. this will combine with adapatation to other planets other gravity zones, vegetation and so on. thus providing a whole array of changes and ways to increase the possibility for survival of life and along with that transcendence of that which is human today.

it is deemed unlikely by current scientists that we could colonise the whole Galaxy. if our earth has a speed which is similar to anything we could achieve with ships

i deem it a necessary right to be able to leave the planet just like quakers, from an insane world which has forgotten the illumination and added some archaic ideas from the middle ages, using guns and weapons. and to leave so far that they will never see us and never have anythign that they could see as bother because of the mind that constantly sees and forms. So i hope that facilities would be made finally for humans to be born without even memory of war, so that their karma can be pure and clean..

This post is in reference to the Dystopia post describing the ills and insanities of the world.

Pack of cards

this is post 52 and corresponds to the standard number of cards in a deck.
Music is played on thousans of decks all over the world every weekend.
music is also easy to play using cards. aces represent pauses. one sets the key for the melody and reads it out if there are obvious exceptions to the key then you use another table to check for how to interpret the following notes.

There are many such methods for inciting some extra ideas for composition.

I like to see composition as an allegory to a relationship (marriage, or artistic sysgy). It would be interesting if someone would interpret their life realtionship as a symphony or dance.

Dances are physical efforts to generate and express joy unlike games of chance. Poker has three important rules:
  1. Know the odds of your hand
  2. Know the odds for others
  3. Know the odds from past hands

Compassionate Business

I saw on my friends website something that came from Japanese business management in the eighties a fad memed "Business is war"
I see it as a double shortcome and a deceptive bonus on the other hand too. This lead me on to think of the way for business to live and benefit and enrich other businesses in the same sector, and to do it willingly, to overcome comeptition with branding and service versatility. In fact competition would be side cast with many other methods based on constructive growth.

  • affiliation with others
  • B2B
  • conglomeration
  • benchmarking
  • outsourcing
  • partnerhips
  • mergers
  • synergetic effect of mergers - both businesslines work better than either alone
I think overall this positive thinking shows the Ghost Not in business and could create a revolution. (For more on Ghost Not in reciprocality)

Be friendly to your fellow business
I would propose this simple slogan to address this paradigm. Seems like interesting so i might write more on friendly business.

Healthy and unhealthy competition
My defintion for the difference would be in these terms : if there is macroeconomic benefit it is healthy competition, else if there is harm to macroeconomic indicators it is unhealthy. (I know it is perhaps improper to use concepts from medicine or physics but there is precedence since )the beginning. A good mathematical falsificatrion would show that in most situations use of even unhealthy competition would not result in harm to macroecomies (cleaning unnecessary businesses and creating more value and therefore tax, reducing prices more radically).
This idea is not to end healthy competition - it is to add a new system that would keep on growing. So the plan involves more on creative assemblages of business.
Studies just shoe that punishment harms the overall development in society. Those societies that use tit for tat do better.
In additon classes in schools have better scores for students if they cooperate with other classes.

Evolution of business
it is fairly clear that businesses which follow Schumpeterian capitalism would grow a few steps and reduce a few steps businesses that use compassionate business grow on growth and therefore offer more geometric growths for investments.

Missing posts

In the past few days i wrote post number 64 and i saw it disappear to 63 and looking at it today i see only 62 including this one i think.

As time passes so does philosophy disappear. Plato's missing works might be lying somewhere at the bottom of the sea, but electronically deleted messages are likely to disappear forever. Messages have lives just like humans.

Illness from news

The news is sick. It reflects the ills of this world and it seems that this is what the world becomes. The problems of society, nature, ecology are somekind of items which sell the products of our world. This negative portrayal of our environment forms it again. And limits our dream of what we could be, what we could see tomorrow. It is furthermore in excess, it suffocates us. This content of news kkeps the society on stress and ambient anxiety.

We dont hear of many things that are important to our world, spiritual miracles, achievements, scientific breakthroughs(getting poor representation even in scientific magazines).

The wonder of the web is that we can choose our news. So i read science news.
And that forms the second illness - a wool comes over our eyes guarding me from the reality of the world as it is, and removing me from any hint of responsibility or compassion that might come from connecting to the paisn of the world.

On another side i think i am spirtually unprepared to watch the news as they are created.

Enriching and oppulating business

I read about ecotopia and chanced on the idea of enriching.
Here i thought that there are at least two types of ways in which the aim of an actor of profit becomes wealthier. In one way he would also enrich others as he becomes wealthier (enriching), in another way he becoems wealthier while others and the whole loose (oppulating). Machine builders can contribute to the wealth of producers. Alcohol distillers contribute to the poverty of the nation.
Fuel-based powerplants oppulate the owners and reduce the value of nature, and the cost of health is thus increased.

I would really like to expand on this, but i am quite aware of the shortcomes already existing in other messages.

The Ladder

Once a system is created and truth is achieved one can reject it like a ladder that is unnecessary once one is on the next level.

I think that was one of the ending arguments(of Tractatus Philosophicus of Wittgenstein), and if i am wrong then even more philosophy would result from that mistake.

I disagree, if the ladder was to disappear suddenly how would you come back to earth, how to teach it to others, and even if you were not to come back, you need it to reference your reality, and that is most important. If you remember a door and it does not exist anymore , because it has been rejected what would you found such a claim on, what would differentiate you from a madman? What would support your claim to such credit?

History and prediction

Before going to university i bagan to think about mathematical modelling of history and large societies like civilizations. I was urged to read Poverty of historicism. Many years later after uni i had the time to read it and to think about it. i have not cristallised it in my mind enough to comment on it thoroughly, it did make me think about it much more.

Non linear mathematics describes phases spaces which is inhabited by random events that are linked to other values, some ideas were useful for the project.
The project has never actually got a serious effort from me. Sometimes i keep it in mind though.

Popper in POH describes the fundamental correlation of knowledge in historical development of societies and that it is impossible to predict what kind of knowledge about the phenomena of the world will be invented to describe it.

Some ideas that were connected to this:
* Bayes formula - the age an population size of the syste are related to the life expectancy of the system.
* News events that reflect situations which regularly lead given events of larger scale. (eg. Increase in discontents and riots leading to civil war)
* Small changes that lead to change in the pattern of the system
* Massive interconnected games
* Moore's law - computing technology does have some inherent rule that shows the growth of speed , size and cost
The aim of my project would not have been predetermination. However i dd think initially that there might be something like that. Telling what would happen in 1800s from the situaion in 1200.

Popper treats some ideas that have become more current now han thy were 60 years ago, but I remember vaguely about some loopholes which would give a chance at mathematical predetermination, that might grow bigger.

World as playground

Games are formed to provide excitement for the players, that is one of their somatic dimensions. I like to tie together three ideas about the world to see a human life as a game, to recreate the game and play better games, this ideas is from Huyzingen. The second is that all games have rules which determine the chances of all players during the game to win or achieve some objective in the course, game can be modelled as a mathematical system, a function; these ideas come from Neumann. Third is a call to people to live playfully - to reject work, this idea comes from a manifesto -perhaps it was called a Ludic manifesto (i have forgotten the author).

Proofs of divinity

I hold that it is not possible to prove the existence of God, in fact by any ways, and that divine celestine entities with enormously more 'power' than humans would be reduced versions of God and thus do not qualify. God is in my view inherent in the creation and its flow and evolution. Existence of God is for believers and forms in the course of belief.

I like Epicure's Paradox (Is god benevolent and powerless; malevolent and omnipotent; ) I remember that it appears somehwere in Indian religion and therefore I think that he might have just repeated it and see it as easy to debunk - he begins by assigning human qualities to God, malevolence, benevolence and power and lack of power. It is possible that humans cannot perceive divine power, that God has formed freedom for man by not interacting with his world. However I see that belief contains a view of the character of God. Christianity resorts to all descriptions - God is malevolent (at times), God is disconnected from the world. There is even a hint at Gods failings in the power of creation.

Sublimated revolution

I am compelled to write on the change of the way revolutions happen to the societies. When it happened in (England,) France, and Russia it happened with widespread violence (I have read of the opinion of some on how it happened almost peacefully - it is far from truth. Civil Wars happened, bringing on the Red Terror.) I have noticed unease about this - how does a society that is founded on such an event exist. How does this event alter and affect the existence of the society and its eventual end.

I think that the seed for its end is in the very nature of lack of humane reason. But at the same time I see that lack of reason is quite unfounded as a claim. I may write on this later in more depth. I intend to write on the nature of the change.

That revolution happens also without violence from those who are pressing for change. As an example I would like to bring the computer and internet revolution that has occurred in the economy. And the second example is the second liberal revolution that liberated people of the former soviet union.

Third is perhaps the economic revolution initiated by the steam engine.

If there are to be more revolutions and I think that the current society does indeed have a pregnancy for it and our capacity to reason our way through it is what determines whether we choose to have the birth without pain or with suffering.

Revolutions have always happened amidst and tailing the technological breakthroughs in communication and transportation.

On belief

(This is a response to a friend of mine who said he has no belief "not even in art")
Belief seems to have formed (because it think that belief has a force to mold more strongly than any science or culture) a crust and hidden its own meaning from people. I tried to be a christian for a year just gone, i still am one , but weekly hearding into the church with people suffering from their selfishness and blind to it to the degree of comedy, albeit tragicomedy is beyond me. It is not honest belief and dedication/devotion from anyone. I walk free in God now.
Belief is forming a life with the imagination of what it could be, in this way manifesting a reality that seems an improvement on what was before. (Perhaps it can be said more concisely in better canonical terminology)
From a dictionary we would read some nonsense about thinking that something exists when it might not or does not. The definition that i have wrought has an element of that - in the possibility for miracle that forms what does not exist yet and continuosly does that in the Universe unlike the negativistic definition (and hence an empty one).

Let us be brave in our suffering. May we rejoice when inevitably all hardships are vanquished without leaving the cockroaches behind.

The BIG change

in advocating as foundation of my philosophy a change of ethics for most human beings i differ from many philosphers in fact most. As a result and along with it there should be changes in politics and economics. Therefore a controversy.
This controversy is what anyone can see.
I have an inclination to see that the China and Japan have not known freedom. Being alien to the concept the superimposition of democracy to Japan is a source of a circus of conspiracies performing a show and breaking under change more than usual because the spirit that runs this is made of totalitarian form of statecraft, obviously manifesting Japanese democracy as a monoparty state.

Categorical Imperative and freedom

I see an aspect of modern life that provides a perplexing solution. Our lives can be lived with the support of the pensions and benefits of the state, as it might be pleasant to live without the stress of work. However this is not an ethic that could be advocated for the majority , so failing the imperative. and resolving in a fluctuation. Those who do live this life of modesty and absence of manual labour or duties and timelines constricting the creative.

Open feelings and the somanetron

Now that we have experiences which we share by describing them and are on the brink of being able simulate the formation of these feelings for repeatable reproduction in others we could "rent" them and establish a large base of open source feelings.

I imagined different ways of eating something for example, and since there is perfection in everything, I could be connected to a gadget which forms these feelings or suggests them as they become available to my situation. Actual system would be in real time connection and form queries from data on user interaction with reality to produce suggestions for experiences that might be suitable - exciting, pleasant.

This could be a kind of somatic philosophical tool. I have no name for it perhaps somanetron.


To see the real and to miss something

World has people, people make judgements about he qualities of life about their perception bout the contents of these perceptions. Mostly they avoid seeing by having countless detours ina negativland of denials, lack of hope, inability to formulate any plans because to fall back into the rut the it is unnecessary.

This spirit is a roadsign that shows nothings, and places and things which do not exist. Most of this post also falls into this category, I dont even let people onto a hint of what the way to seeing is, because I have no clear plan myself, other than stating that i see this. To say things wihtout negating, is a virtue and the actual way to see the real, to complement the negative with the affirmative is to see things and a mirage, and to say things which only have a negative side is blindness/maya.

The result of this is a production of waffle that corresponds to the standards of the memetic framework and disappearance of both meaning and purpose by dilution of the real.

As this post goes it is quite vague because of the general concepts it describes, i should add EXAMPLES.

More words less violence

I have just viewed a broadcast on the rreductoin in violence in the history of the world. This contrasts with rise in the severity of the violence in the number of sufferers in history, yet it includes even that. This is a sign taht provides a measure of cohesion to the foundation for optimism.That the ultimate goal which many have lived their lives. Changing oneself for a world could be a imagined more than lived, since how would you nknow the difference which kind of thinking would you be successful wiht and which things you can speaek to be in peace. Perhaps one other mechanism is word. There are billions of people in the world and they are in some form of contact to a semiosphere formed by increasing culture and science, there is more to speaks aand more to reason for hte course of our lives and so there is more to reciprocate.

In the ancient world i saw religions having many mechanisms to keep people from violence. These systmes like ollecting the names of gods and comapring them with another, increasing the number of holy books by collation, unifying with those who believe. Describing the salvation of monsters.
Encyclopedias have served something for humans and formed a script that has changed the society the other being , so that there are more enterprises and endavours to understand the world and its people and the way to a life of happiness.

More words also provides the instructions for more doing that would elevate from the brutish warfare in all its subtle and overt forms that it forms among humans.
