Way Beyond Human: Generative Aesthetics
http://waybeyondhuman.blogspot.com/2010/01/generative-aesthetics.html
Consciousness, evolution, singularity. Sunday, 24 January 2010. I've recently become a little bit obsessed with Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers' iPhone app Trope. This beautiful little piece of generative software. In the case of Trope. And other generative programmes, we are watching evolution take place before our eyes and ears in the digital realm and we feel instantly attuned to its progress, if unaware of the intricacies of the processes running in the background; and thus unable to predict what will h...

Way Beyond Human: Is Freedom So Important? Part 1
http://waybeyondhuman.blogspot.com/2010/01/is-freedom-so-important.html
Consciousness, evolution, singularity. Thursday, 21 January 2010. Is Freedom So Important? Natural selecton is an explosion of evitability". So said Daniel Dennett. To duck, to avoid being hit by a flying spear. Evitability in this case, Dennett explains, is synonymous with avoidability. If something is 'inevitable' then it is 'unavoidable'. Thus further problems arise when you talk about the future as being inevitable. rather it should be individual events that should be assessed as avoidabl...Causality...

Way Beyond Human: The Window To The Soul
http://waybeyondhuman.blogspot.com/2010/02/window-to-soul.html
Consciousness, evolution, singularity. Wednesday, 24 February 2010. The Window To The Soul. The face in particular is a crucial focal point, especially given that we tend to be drawn to facial reactions when we converse. The eyes are apparently the windows to the soul; and a simple bite of one's lip can give the impression that you are totally blown away by what you are hearing, in a way that words alone never could. This site, on Vedic face reading. This works fine if there is indeed an immovable, indub...

Way Beyond Human: The Problem Of Thought
http://waybeyondhuman.blogspot.com/2010/01/problem-of-thought.html
Consciousness, evolution, singularity. Friday, 29 January 2010. The Problem Of Thought. But who could possibly say where one ends and the next begins? Thinkers from Plato onwards have grappled with the implications of qualia. But have never managed to fully tie this expression down. About other things. Not being able to imagine or visualise thoughts as distinct units of the mental process means that we can not visualise how they might link and merge to form part of the spectrum of consciousness; at l...

Way Beyond Human: The Eschaton Meme
http://waybeyondhuman.blogspot.com/2010/01/eschaton-meme.html
Consciousness, evolution, singularity. Wednesday, 6 January 2010. It has been suggested that all the current theorising about the technological singularity is analogous to, if not a direct mimic of, the kind of end of the world predictions that sufface most religious doctrine. For Christians there is the Book of Revelation. The memetic transfusion of the eschaton. There's nothing new here. just the emperor's new clothes with computers rather than angels and trumpets. Rapture for the nerds! Could probably...

Way Beyond Human: The Eschaton As Data Loss
http://waybeyondhuman.blogspot.com/2010/02/eschaton-as-data-loss.html
Consciousness, evolution, singularity. Tuesday, 2 February 2010. The Eschaton As Data Loss. Given the fact that our lives are largely controlled by databases these days, whether they be administered by governments, banks or retailers; it stands to reason that the loss or degradation of this data could be quite catastrophic. As Tom Simonite and Michael Le Page wrote recently:. The article this comment comes. Exponential acceleration of digital information storage and sharing technologies has meant that pr...
