“Who is this Savadear I keep hearing about?” Mr Wild Dingo had whispered that very question, which had been burning in his mind for so long, to a Francophone at work when we were living in Switzerland. Bemused, the Francophone laughed. “Not ‘Savadear,’ ‘Ça veut dire,'” he replied. The expression literally translates as “it wants to say” but actually means “it means.” Since that time, Mr. Wild Dingo had progressed so much that he could give presentation at work entirely in French. I was so proud of him!
This is one of my most precious memories of living abroad, before I knew I had been sick with Lyme Disease. I was not only having trouble progressing in French, but even English was getting difficult for me. Lyme was triggering huge memory gaps causing me forget simple words and phrases even in English. “Ça veut dire” would come in handy for a person struggling with Lyme Brain trying to learn French! Over the years it grew worse to the point I couldn’t read and I could barely write in English.
Today, under treatment, a lot of my cognition has returned but I still have a long way to go.
Mindless copying of sentences is not fun with handwriting. Nonetheless, to my amazement, it seems as though many primary schools in Hong Kong coerce their students into completing these cognition-effacing exercises.
If the objective of this book is to teach students to write letters, then logically, so long as a student can accurately reproduce each individual letter, there is no point in having them copy bunches of letters - words - within even greater bunches of letters - sentences - complete with capital letters and punctuation; so there must be another reason; and that students at this tender primary age must begin, sooner rather than later, the tedious rote learning process involving mindless copying and pedagogical dubiousness endemic to Hong Kong is my conjecture.
It's a shame that most Hong Kong primary school students aren't learning spelling strategies in English lessons - this is a Scholastic Book from the US - and instead are treated to beguiling calligraphy activities which treat English words as though they were Chinese pictograms, this whole-language English literacy approach being the absolute worst way to build a literacy base in a human being!
The transfer and multiplication of financial wealth, amongst the captains of educational publishing and the lieutenants of the education bureau, is not a conspiracy theory but a harmful, if not shameful, truth, a boy's father told me. He and his son both hate the skull-numbing reproduction of the Roman alphabet whose pedagogical value has yet to be substantiated by anyone!
In May 2018 I was invited as artist on board on Kleronia, a 18 mt. cutter, in team with a video maker, a writer and a few skippers, to support the “Cognition in the wind” research project directed by Roberto Casati (Institut Jean Nicod, CNRS ENS EHESS, Paris). We navigate between Rome, the Pontine Islands and Gaeta. Watch a video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TpY-AeXRNk

Nick Bostrom’s new tome comes out today, and what can I say — it has a great cover with a number of interesting questions and a subtitle that hints that it might address the meaning of life in a future where AI and robots can do everything. But alas, after much build up and anticipation, he leaves that question unanswered, with an abrupt oops, out of time on page 472. Not even a 42 to make us chuckle.
My biggest frustration with the book is that he takes over 500 pages to convey what could be more clearly said in well under 50. I can’t wait to run the text through a LLM for the compressed summary (it’s a bit ironic to use an AI this way, producing something like Wittgenstein’s Tractatus). If you do decide to slog through it, I can save you some time: skip the first 118 pages. You won’t miss anything in that preamble that is not repeated elsewhere, and you’ll avoid a pedantic revival of Malthusian immortality.
My main concern with Bostrom’s overall framework is his baseline assumption that our future world has reached “technological maturity” (everything that can be invented or discovered has been) where humans are, at the same time, almost immortal and able to edit themselves and their emotional response and cognition with precision. You could say we have philosophical differences here:
1) I don’t think there is an upper bound to ideas. Each idea is a recombination of prior ideas, and the space of possible idea pairings grows exponentially (Reed’s Law). The unfolding of certain iterative algorithms (evolution, ML, culture) is computationally irreducible, and learning its richness would require a simulator of comparable complexity. We will never finish exploring the universe, even if much of it end up being in deep simulations. We will never accumulate all possible ideas. And this opens a window to a rich panoply of possible meaning and purpose for humanity that Bostrom’s presumption forecloses. His subtitle of a “solved world” presumes the computational complexity of our existence reaches some terminus, a solution to the questions of life. He quibbles that increasingly insignificant discoveries may be possible, but “technology” has an upper asymptote making it effectively a ceiling. It feels like cosmological doomerism.
2) I don’t think we will modify our core intelligence or achieve near-immortality in a timeframe of relevance to the core question: how do we find meaning in a post-AGI world of abundance? We will have to wrestle with the AI issues long before we get to edit our biology to such effect (and we may need AGI to have a chance). Reverse-engineering the human brain to enhance its core functionality is much more difficult that building an AGI of comparable complexity. Extending lifespan to near-immortality is a very long process with regulatory restraints on experimentation and a century of waiting to see the effects, and side effects. The pace of AI advancement will make biological change look glacial. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the book explores the bizarre implications of editing our biological consciousness (e.g., to edit out the feeling of boredom as a way to say boredom won’t be a problem) that will never happen in a timeframe of relevance. Very little of the book explores AGI on its own, before the magic biology. So, it fundamentally misses the mark as a thought exercise about our future in the AGI era, and many of possibilities explored without intellectual commitment bear an irrelevance to reality that I thought was only possible in the field of economics. :)
Also, there is no high-level organization to the book; the chapters are just days of the week of a long rambling lecture given by Bostrom to his fawning pupils, interspersed with some animal characters on side adventures that are pure filler (often 20-40 pages at a time), and I can say in retrospect, they are best skipped. So, the overall experience is one of countless digressions without a clear arc of where we are going.
But Bostrom does scatter some lovely turns of phrase, jovial nuggets, and poignant prose on a random walk through a soporific diatribe of digressions... Some that caught my eye:
“The concept of deep utopia can serve as a kind of philosophical particle accelerator in which extreme conditions are created that allow us to study the elementary constituents of our values.” (p.3., made me hopeful)
“We need to develop a culture that is better suited for a life of leisure.” (119) “We would emphasize enjoyment and appreciation rather than usefulness and efficiency.” (129)
“As we look deeper into the future, any possibility that is not radical is not realistic.” (129)
“Some researchers have suggested that our Stone Age forbears had plenty of free time, that they may have worked as little as four hours a day.” (130)
“We have to remember that ‘interesting times’ are often horrible times for those who have to live through them. An uneventful and orderly future, in contrast, can be a great place to inhabit.” (152)
“For each category of utopia, there is a correlate category of dystopia… usually not as a prediction of the future but as a critique of some pernicious pattern in the author’s contemporary society. In classical governance & culture dystopias, for example, the problematic pattern might be oppressive totalitarianism (Nineteen Eighty-Four) or dehumanizing consumerism (Brave New World).” (203)
He tries to address meaty topics like, what keeps life interesting? What is our purpose and meaning when the struggle is gone? Can fulfillment get full? But in each case, the pedagogy is more of a survey of all possible answers versus the much more difficult task of making specific predictions. He even invokes multiple universes, unicorn breeding, Jupiter brains and interstellar travel to make sure he’s exhausting all possible scenarios.
“Why do you think people are interested in interestingness?
The learning and exploration hypothesis: The value we place on interestingness derives from a kind of learning instinct and/or an exploration bias. We seek out situations that present us with significant new information and novel varied challenges, because doing so led our ancestors to acquire more knowledge and skills, which was adaptive in our evolutionary environment.” (230, followed by three other, less compelling hypotheses)
“We can think of intrinsified values as motivational flywheels” (236)
And of course, if all ideas have been had already, “we seem bound to encounter diminishing returns quite quickly, after which successive life years bring less and less interestingness.” (253)
“And although the years may bring some modicum of understanding of the workings of the world, it tends to come late, often too late — making it seem like the only fruit that grows on the tree of experience is resignation. Wisdom withered on the bough.” (259)
“Objective interestingness will probably peak around the development of machine superintelligence. Depending how steep the takeoff is, interestingness might then remain at unprecedentedly high levels for a decade or so, before gradually trailing off to levels far lower than we have seen even in relatively stagnant period of human history. The most important things that can be discovered may by then already have been discovered.” (265, one of the few specific forecasts, and one I believe to be patently false)
“Usually the conclusion has been that the best and most fulfilling way to live a human life, and the most praiseworthy one, is in fact to be a philosopher.” (311)
“The value of fulfillment may be satiable in a way that the value of interestingness is not.” (314)
“I expect that virtual worlds will be experienced as decidedly more real than the physical world” (323)
“All of us have aims, many of us have goals, but relatively few have missions.” (325)
“Feelings of alienation could be easily banished with mature neurotechnoogy” (335, just one example of countless appeals to bio magi that really makes his whole thought experiment useless and non-actionable)
“Cultural and interpersonal complications might provide us with purposes in utopia beyond those which we may create for ourselves individually by setting ourselves challenging goals.” (336)
Augment early and often I used to joke, 20 years ago, when discussing humanity’s futile attempt to stay relevant in a future of superintelligence. So, I chuckled at “To have a chance at being task-optimal at technological maturity, you would probably have to start your transformation early and proceed at close to maximal speed.” (355)
And finally, an observation I agree with, with the framework of Wolfram’s computational universe in mind: “To the extent that meaning can be derived from scientifically or artistically representing continually changing patterns in the world, as opposed to fundamental timeless conditions, there would be better prospects of never running out of material. Yet this would still leave us with the second problem, which is that other minds and mechanisms would far surpass ours in the efficiency with which they could discover these truths and patterns” (415)
P.S. I picked up the book at a cool gathering at the beginning of birthday month and will share the learnings when they become public.

The word ‘Darshan’ means ‘to have a glimpse of’. Having Darshan of an Avatar can cleanse the karmas of lifetimes, and create a deep and lasting transformation in the receiver.
Darshan is something far beyond mere physical ‘seeing’. Darshan is the powerful superconscious vibration that is present around an Avatar at all times. It is a word that cannot be translated; it has to be experienced.
During Darshan, His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda creates Mandalas with His hands. Mandalas are secret decoded Agamic energy circuits that harness the multi-dimensional energy of the universe. The energy He creates falls on you and settles in your system.
Even if the Mandala enters into your system three times, you will manifest powers and powerful cognitions. Nothing more is required other than a ferocious intention to manifest them.
Paramahamsa Nithyananda has breathed life into these videos - Even if you were not physically present during Darshan, just by watching this video, you will experience Kundalini Awakening, manifestation of powers & the ultimate experience of Oneness - Advaita.
During these sessions, Paramashiva manifests through Paramahamsa Nithyananda intensely. Look carefully through your Third Eye, as you watch this Oneness Capsule, you will powerfully experience the energy. Look through the Third Eye, lightly but intensely, like how you would look at a rose.
These Darshans do not have a past, present or future. They are just happening, there is no ‘was’ or ‘will’ for these happenings. Just by watching, you can get the same experience as watching it live, in-person.

when people learn that odin loves to start his day with a serving of cod liver oil mixed with juice, we usually get quizzical looks - people still give their kids that icky stuff that grandmothers used to force down the gullets of their kids?
maybe grandma was on to something. cod liver oil is a fantastic source of omega fatty acids which research has shown to be important for brain development.
and even more interestingly for us, babies born before 33 weeks gestation have insufficient levels of DHA and fish oil for preemies may boost cognition.
carlson makes odin's con liver oil of choice and is tested to be free of detectable levels of mercury, cadmium, lead and PCB's
if you ask him, he really will tell you that it tastes pretty darned good.
and, of course, it's perfectly perfect that odin's favorite cod liver oil would be norwegian :-)
Superfoods: Berries and Cherries
The deep blue and purple color indicates the presence of a group of powerful antioxidants known as anthocyanins. The anthocyanin pigments of Bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus) have long been used for improving vision and circulation. There is also evidence that certain anthocyanins have anti-inflammatory properties, and there are reports that anthocyanin-rich foods are beneficial for treating diabetes and ulcers.
1 If that’s not enough reason to consume berries, recent research has identified significant anti-bacterial and anti-viral activity, as well as the ability (in old animals) to restore balance, coordination, learning and memory.
2 Overall, a cup of blueberries per day can provide significant antioxidant and flavonoid benefits that may improve memory, mood, and cognition. Sugar-free berry concentrate drinks are also available which provide convenient high-potency nutrition for daily use.

A concussion is a common traumatic brain injury that alters your brain functions.It is characterized by headache, and disturbances in concentration, memory, cognition, balance and coordination.
Preparing for a three-hour neurological experiment evaluating cognition during image recognition. That's a hairnet with 250+ EEG sensors--each one has a wet little suction sponge. Saline solution drips down my face. I feel like I'm making out with a squid. A lab tech looks on pityingly.
