i wrote this article a few days ago. indulge: quote: "The value of any individuals input into the hive mind will not be weighted by money or sexual desire, rather on terms of the Reperceiver itself—information. In the quest for deeper understanding, art and communication that most vibrantly reflect the complex harmonies of the vibrational universe and it’s proportionate scales will be of most value." feedback appreciated |

I didn't read the whole article but, if your quote is anything to go buy, you don't have a fucking clue what you are talking about. sorry if that came off harsh. |

Fucked if i'm reading this. Your grammar is atrocious. The "on" in the topic title is superfluous. You've left out an apostrophe in the first line of the quote, at "individual's" and added a rogue apostrophe in the penultimate line at "it's proportionate.." (should be "its") You also switch prepositions in the first sentence: weighted by money or sexual desire, rather on...... I don't subject myself to reading shoddily-written texts, thanks very much. The subject matter and style in which you've exposed it are also off-putting, it doesn't seem like you've done research into the subject and instead have put together an article to have the effect of projecting an image of yourself as superintelligent. I just clicked the article link and the first two sentences, right: The all too common defeatist outlook requires intervention. A force in the form of another person revealing or as existing conditions lying dormant in the brain combining to bestow revelation must be present if the defeatist is to change and learn to live in bliss. Jesus christ. Intervention in the form of what? Another person revealing what? (reveal is a transitive verb, you've done a big no-no here) Also the "as" is superfluous as well. Although I'm known as a grammar nazi here, I've made a point of stopping correcting people's grammar on the message board - I don't want to get shot down for this post: the only reason I'm writing it is that you've put your article up here for people to read and respond to.. and this is my response. Do you really expect people to read this stuff? It's impossible. Learn how to write. |

Jesus man, I'm sure there are plenty brilliant essayists that need an editor to have their work checked. Lighten up. I'm not saying this particular essay is brilliant, of course. |

You are correct in that I might have misused the word 'essayist', here. |

Redrum, are you a fan of old english? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not particularly.. I find it interesting, but I have little or no knowledge of it. Why do you ask? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought you might be interested in linguistics |
||||||||
|
|

I'm studying computational linguistics.. i hate how this comes up every time i criticise someone's grammar :/ |
||||||||

|

Its google time. |
||||||||
|
|

I like Redrum's commitment to improving our use of language, it's a positive thing and we all would do well to pay heed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thank you! It's nice to see someone occasionally seeing it in a positive light. Mertens: if you were going to google for info about comp. ling., I might suggest going to wikipedia instead, they have a comprehensive section on linguistics, and indeed |

thank you grammar nazi. i'm just trying to suggest that a computer is going to be our judge at some time in the not so distant future. |

i'm with redrum on this one. the thread title made me chuckle. |

It should be noted however that it would be grammmmmmmatically possible for the "on" to not be superfluous, depending on the content of the article. ie. the article could be about REGARDING superintelligence, not ABOUT superintelligence... however you stated you did not read the article and therefore would not be able to make this distinction. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Personally, I think this article should be submitted to slashdot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm. good observation.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I suppose it's better than the time I classified spiders as "insects". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ha. good thing you still remember. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah he's right, but it's nonsense to consider for a moment that the read was ABOUT regarding superintelligence. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

did you research any of this, or is it just from your 'gut' feeling on the matter - basically is this fact or just your thoughts? you dont really give any sources, you mention just one - and exactly what time frame do you give until the coming of the reperceiver? its in its infant stages now? in what form now? surely you dont mean the internet! |
||||||||

That has got to be the biggest load of pretentious wank I've ever had the misfortune to read! |

hey man I have to VIOLENTLY disagree with your avatar! Tom Weir is awesome and to accuse him of being a crackhead makes my eyes fill with tears! FOR SHAME! :*[ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sorry, but he is! I saw him free-basing with a hooker outside Glasgow Central train station! I have photos to back it up. To think he used to just go roamin' in the gloamin' too. Sniff.... |
||||||||

Your allegations have left me stunned... I cannot bring myself to believe that Tower of Touring is a low-down punk. |

|
who's tom weir? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Conclusive proof!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I cannot argue with clear photographic proof like that - I'm deeply saddened. RedRum - Tom Weir hosts the 3rd best ever TV series, Weir's Way -- I think it might only be shown in Scotland, not sure. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
aha. ok. never heard of it. He looks like quite a character. |
||||||||

"did you research any of this, or is it just from your 'gut' feeling on the matter"-- it's half and half. i'm sorry about the typo in the thread title, but what do you do. hehe, wmw you caught that too-- i figure, hell, this is on "regarding superintelligence".. kind of a coincidence. i've been stuck on the idea that emotionally we are the same person, all of us on this planet, kicking energy around in the form of words attached to dopamine and other chemicals in our heads. when i found out that a bunch of really smart people like feynman and feigenbaum and kurzweil were predicting futures supportive of this idea, i got a twist in my knickers and had to write some things down. go research artificial intelligence and the future of computing and see what you find. |

The very fact you felt you had to commit your ramblings to an ill conceived, poorly researched, essay littered with pompous diction indicates that, while you may have enthusiasm, you lack true understanding. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And that comes from a Professor of Hard Living so you cannot argue with him |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, indeed it is true I prepared that post for the dumb scouser. However I am sure my own feelings mirror those energy kicking words attached to dopamine and other chemicals in his head. After all emotionally we are all the same. Kindest Regards, Prof. H. Living Hard Living University, MA. |

well it's especially unreadable for someone whose mother tongue isn't english, and isn't used to common mistakes. i read "individuals" as "individuals". didn't make much sense indeed. i always interpret mistakes (apart from it's - its) as forms or syntaxes i don't know, exceptions, etc. well you can correct me anytime you want 'cause this way i could make my english better! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i am sometimes considered a "grammar nazi" sometimes, but what you don't seem to get in the first place is that grammar is the structure of a language. if don't know it you can't build properly. not speaking properly is mis(not)understanding the language you're speaking. it's actually more a matter of logic than grammar. |
