kicking myself forever for not just picking up the phone and ringing him when i had the thought. also kicking myself for not getting back with dana ballard, a college professor who taught some of my classes on AI and introduced me to concepts like context-addressable memory and he was the most wicked funny little man ever, hilarious. and i realized, all my shit -- the weasels, the p50 wave and sensory gating being why nicotine helps schizophrenics, my theory on the origin of life -- i owe everything to this dude and he would have fucking loved it. and i thought of emailing him and i didn't and then i find out he died recently he was also who introduced me to the work of roger penrose. i wouldn't know i was walking quantum computer made of meat without dana ballard. [[ however -- 20 years ago, i wrote of penrose's quantum theory of consciousness as absurd; violating parsimony. it took me 20 fucking years to come around on that point, but now i am utterly sold on it. the quantum matrix optimizes the neural network [mammal brain] which evolved to optimize blood flow [lizard brain] and blood flow is DIRECTING RESOURCES shaped by the pressures of evolution. until fluidics is too slow and we need electricity. then we've maxed that out and quantum is the only way to evolve further ]] |
