Chaos – In this domain, there is no relationship between cause and effect at systems level. The approach is to Act – Sense – Respond and we can discover novel practice. In case of chaotic solution, there is no relationship between cause and effect, so first step is to establish order. Crisis & emergency situations fall in this domain. Hence,... See more

Wild type – the wild type is adapted for the niche of just nature. Human beings where primary problems are associated with survival in nature. The wild type developed consciousness in the context of culture, to produce a culture that is adapted to a niche.

Let’s consider the issue of just who I am, and who the new Ray is a little more carefully. Like the water in a stream, my particles are constantly changing, but the pattern that people recognize as Ray has a reasonable level of continuity. After each procedure, I claim to be the same guy. If we talk about consciousness as just a certain type of... See more

We also want to reform the webs of social connections themselves , and put people closer to other people that are more compatible with them to better allow different ways of life to maintain their own distinctiveness.

High-temperature gas reactors (HTGRs): In HTGRs, gasses (typically helium) act as the coolant that is fed directly into the turbine to produce energy. Helium is an inert gas, so it generally won’t chemically react with any material, and exposing helium to neutron radiation won’t make it radioactive. Helium can therefore be heated to higher...

The time old discussion of intelligence and its relation to morality. I like what Haier said here, that more intelligence is better. He is right to an extent, because a higher fluid intelligence increases the range of jobs you can do and problems you can solve effectively. But I believe fluid intelligence is a tool--a tool that can be used for good... See more
