Cultural #paradigms are something every #ancient #historian should know but often don't. Paradigms are the mental framework we use to organize knowledge, not the set of facts themselves. If a fact does not fit our paradigm we tend to ignore it. Hence, the reason people can appear completely irrational and talk past each other in a discussion.

Four main classes of spiritual/religious paradigms are:

Atheistic, Pantheistic - Material realm is superior or is the only realm which exists.

Transcendentalist - Divine/spiritual realm is superior. The material world is an illusion.

Perceptheistic - Divine/spiritual realm co-exists equally with the material realm but only the material realm can be known in common by a community.

Theistic (Monotheistic or Polytheistic) - Divine/spiritual realm co-exists equally with material realm. Both realms can be known in common by a community. The spiritual realm is known dogmatically via a religion's sacred text.

Are we able to #achieve true #connection #spirituality and #alignment in this fast paced #tech -centric world that has been created?

Seems these #paradigms tend to, or are intended to, keep us #trapped in the #mind.

We need a #spacebar for the web. https://thesolarmonk.com/posts/a-spacebar-for-the-web "It took centuries for writing to evolve the affordances to become a refined medium for thought. We need to develop the paradigms that allow us to do the same with the web. A medium to make sense of it all. A medium that doesn’t scatter our attention with a press, but consolidates it by giving us space to breathe." #paradigms #web #attention #thought #writing #knowledgemanagement

Oh look, what a cool piece on #AI, but also '#Intelligence', I suppose.

Posing once again the question: if science was exclusively done by computation leveraging brute force, would we still inhabit a divinely overcomplex, geocentric cosmos? If not, what would happen if we just took the simplest yet valid model, regardless of its implications and assumptions?

What an imagination of deus ex machina and human humiliation.

#InterpretiveFrameworks

Thus, a rigid reliance on a single hierarchy to define the ontology of a given domain passes over into a flexible application of interpretive frameworks to make contact with particular aspects of one's object domain.

Conceptual Extensions

The second use of the formal apology is to permit the tentative extension of concepts to novel areas, giving them experimental trial beyond the cases and domains where their use is already established in the precedents of accustomed habit and successful application.

In other news I'm out of paracetamol.
Hope your 2022 has started as intellectually as mine.

It's OK to learn multiple #programming #paradigms, even if you don't use them.

However, personally, I'm tired of filling my brain with multiple syntax and ways to declare things.

IMHO the perfect language would:
1. describe data as well as code with the same surrounding syntax
2. permit to express all known paradigms, preferably by adding more code than adding core features
3. be free-form
4. use delimiting symbols that are not often used when we write in natural languages
