Rhythmos... Synchronization...,

 

Logos facit: rhein… rhythmos… arithmos paralogoi… toccata and fugue… only synchronizing is diversity made, only synchronizing is humus made: altruism, empathy: in pathos plus pathos, the equation does not find a closure, since the zeros escape it… the zeros spiral away to infinity which is yet another zero… the zero is the inescapable result of it all, after all how can a strange loop be so strange? Algorithms are unable to scathe it, because algorithms need the closure of the zero, and the zero can never, never be closed… the zero is that which survives everything after there being just nothing…,

International New York Times Journalists’ Zoology: Raphael Minder - a Precarious Compound of Decadent Bacteria and Viruses

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/29/world/europe/despite-subsidies-hard-times-for-a-small-and-four-legged-group-of-europeans.html?ref=raphaelminder&_r=0

Some time ago a friend told me: “Of the 100 trillion cells in your body, only 10 trillion of them are you. The others only live there. And that doesn't even take into consideration all the junk that accumulates over a lifetime. You are much less than 90% of you. You’re merely a host with a brain.”

Raphael Minder?! Who is Raphael Minder?! What is Raphael Minder?! Not a donkey…, no, it does not have the kindness of the donkey species! And it does not certainly have the dignity of the donkeys! Because to have kindness is to have dignity, since kindness is exercise, an exercise of intelligence and Raphael Minder only seems capable of exercises of stupidity.

It is not worth to make an extensive and intensive analysis of the crisis that is striking Europe and that has ramifications in the illuminated United States of America, the same America that birthed itself with the genocide of an indigenous people. The same America that assumes itself as an Imperium, in dynamics of leadership for enslavement of the species human and non-human, and, of course, for the enslavement of the planet itself.

Hey, Raphael Minder, human animal with neurons that exclude the “generous” neutrinos. Don’t know what neutrinos are?! How could you possibly know, if you only think with two neurons: one for inclusion and another for exclusion.

Regarding Portuguese “donkeys”, we are a melting pot of Celts, Iberians, Romans, Germanics, and Moorish, yes a lot of Moorish blood flows in the Portuguese People, flows in the cognitive matrix of the Portuguese..., extreme Atlantic Occident of those that dared to go beyond the protective order in search for the unknown hybris, also in search for the metaphysical sense of Saudade in the reason that forms the alterity of the motion, risking the life in the dyad determination/indetermination, yes, we are Portuguese...

Others?! The others?! We are all the others...

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b8/Street_Child%2C_Srimangal_Railway_Station.jpg/320px-Street_Child%2C_Srimangal_Railway_Station.jpg

Others?! The others?! We are all us! We are all the others: iterative, interactive, mostrative, monstrative, demonstrative, placed, exposed: to be is to be with the others: is to be the other among the others.

The projective resonance of the verb transits and transhumates the imperative of responsibility, as condensed geometric presence and difference: we are, irrecusably, all responsible.

...religo..., excellence...

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f5/Baja_California_Desert.jpg/300px-Baja_California_Desert.jpg

Why not let go of the dogmas, institutions, sects and all the garbage that is out there, and not concentrate in the primitive sense of religion: “religio, onis”, with origin in “religo, are”, which synthesizes a sense of to connect backwards. This is what profoundly interests, we need to know what is at the origin of all this, and the reasons for our desiring impetus to go backwards.

What is the origin and sense of all this “painful crap” that is the existence of all?!

In what type of reality do: our cosmos, we, the things have their origin?!

I still bet in the “ninja turtle ooze postulate”: an anomaly in the recycling of some garbage of a prior reality with waste management problems.

Only an anomaly can explain all the insupportable and senseless suffering, injustice, indignity in which we all live…, well, almost all, I think, but one thing is certain, we all die, and we can all suffer…,

However, the good and the beautiful is not about divine delirium, is not about schizophrenia, it is about to know, it is about excellens, it is about excedere modum, that means, it is about to surpass the limits in order to live up to the situations, even in the most extreme conditions.

The good, the beautiful are the good and the beautiful of some thing, enacted by some thing, there is no good or beautiful without some thing’s “gooding” and “beautying”.

We do not need to like each other, we need to respect each other, because we are all in the same raft, and if it sinks, we all sink.

Religo, yes, to reconnect with ourselves, to our dignity, to our autopoietics of excellence for adaptation, for development, for life, for survival.

Vibrations and relations...

...besides the vibrations and relations we still have the dynamics, the rhythms of resonance and rotativity.

The measure that is obtained in the measurement of a system here, and now, may or may not repeat itself.

The systems are extremely porous and sensitive to the devils that hide in the small details. All is a game of survival and the rules are permanently enacted and are aimed at adaptive responses.

Things, at the quantum level, have very little room for errors in the flux, and, there, nothing passes like in the human macrosystems, where one holds the notebook in one’s hands, taking notes, taking notes, taking notes..., to generalize and RepeatRepeat in the same manner.

One must read in the flux, in the dynamics. Some things cannot be measured, just interpreted.

All this is about survival and escaping, probably, the great and indifferent womb which vomited the humus that enacted all of this complication that is the life of everyone. Perhaps that’s why one hears the cross-cultural phrase: a vida é assim/that’s life/c’est la vie/blablabla... like the song...

Imagine that: if, in the patchwork of intersective electromagnetic resonance, happened something like the centipede problem: “Pray tell which leg comes after which?”

In truth, one may suspect, at this moment, in the HumanEarth, something like that may be taking place...

In some PresentDays, of, perhaps, more inspired pessimism, one may be frightened with the dynamics of survival, which may lead one to question: are we black holes?!

Of course, one may immediately become optimistic: it’s all there! No missing parts! One single organism, without loss of integrity, no schizophrenia problem: only a survival-concerned/stressed organism, preoccupied with its enacted BlackHoleness!

It is when we look, see and think the others, the other things, that we perceive ourselves and perceive them in radicular entanglement with an exposed primeval sense of permanently enacted formative complicity and ontological solidarity: we are with the others there (mitsein, Heidegger). A kind of insistent and resistant whispering breath or logos...

I am because I can be...

There is no “cogito ergo sum”: I am because I have in myself my own condition of possibility of “to can be”, I am because I can be, and because I can be: I want to be, I want to go on being, because I am.

occupying... occupying everything, the skies as well...

Today, morning, when I opened the e-mail, my attention was caught by the title of an article: "Occupy the Skies! Protesters Could Use Spy Drones”

http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/11/ows-drones/

I was in a hurry, but did not resist a quick read. Ok, it was just one more article, but, for some reason, my brain “stubborned” in fixating in the title and some flow of thought, with passage by Orwell, Marx and Kant taking place, mixing, later on, with the “rigmalore” of the Sunday mass, transmitted by RTP1...

...I was about to change channel, when the Priest and the respective chorus/flock started asking God to take the “sacrifice of human reconciliation”. Of course, everyone that participated in the mass finalized with a singing “AMEN”.

The surpassing of the indignity constituted, not a joy - the dignity that should be celebrated-, but a sacrifice that a God, apparently, desiring of sacrifices, should accept.

The words of the Priest and the title of the article dragged me to Freud, Foucault and the discourses of power, with (re)course to the narcotizing dogmatic language, articulated by geostrategic calculations of BioPower towards effects of surveillance and respective control of the same power: the power to decide who lives and how who lives should live.

Our risk behaviors have led us to the management of the systemic collapse in the systemic collapse, without us having surpassed the insufficient predatory dynamics of the basic/trivial calculation, ever more alienated in technologies.

Others may occupy the “POWER”, but it will be, as it has been, along the course of the History of the AnimalHuman, more of the same, if we cannot achieve the surpassing of being more intelligent than we, effectively, are..., have been: if we lose, we will all lose, and we will drag with us all the others...

There are no independent rating agencies...

Comment on the Wall Street Journal article:

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303812104576437641734533746.html?mod=wsj_share_twitter

Manipulation of economic data by Argentina pales in comparison with the US debt issue, with manipulated rating attributed by the compromised big three rating agencies.

There are no independent rating agencies, rating agencies are compromised by their own business and their own political links, just like the Wall Street Journal seems seems (two seems may be sufficient to generalize as pattern with character of necessity).

The fact that the US still has a high rating is a proof that market agents are not able to properly evaluate risk, otherwise they would see the obvious in the big three rating agencies manipulation.

Both some European countries as well as the US should actually get a bad rating/downgrade. To ignore a risk is to open the possibility of collapse, in this case of a global financial collapse coming from the US and affecting several central banks and countries and then the global financial system.

...paraleipsis...

http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/opinion/2011/06/2011618134516152339.html

Either there is something more that should be in the above article that is absent, or we are lost in the middle of the sophistic rhetoric of the simulation and the simulacrum, because a “multipolar world economic order” would need human agents that had evolved as much as their technologies, which does not seem to be the case, at least not in an evident way. When we look around us, what is iteratively evident is the growing presence of people anxiously looking forward to alienate their autonomy in their artifacts, eagerly taking their transhumanist chips with their transhumanist pills.

A “multipolar world economic order”, managed by the humans that we know, would have a referent of enacted self-sustainability in permanent point of catastrophe, in which the homeostatic mechanisms for the system’s regeneration would always be under the threat of a clinamen of fragmentation. For this type of economy, it would be necessary that, at cognitive levels, it was processed a type of imperative such as: what happens to the others is not indifferent to me. In any network, the element of contamination is not “bullshit”, it is constitutively intrinsic to the networks’ dynamics.

The only way for such an economy to survive, in terms of self-regeneration and functioning homeostatic mechanisms, would be that it coexisted (simultaneity in the existence) with at least one Space Economy, including, perhaps, Alien Economies…, let then the Disclosure Project come forward, because there’s a lot to be explained here.

Or does the “New World Order” gang who (Biblically) begets these articles with apocalyptic “nuages” believe that the world is sufficiently alienated in the artifacts to be unable to question and understand the obvious?

It would be best to take into account that there are black swans out there, who do not follow the general law of non-thinking. Of course, these are the residual minority, all these black swans have is their thinking in permanent thinking, and the permanent “to think thinking” will certainly be worthless in the “New World Order”, quite the contrary, those will be the first to be pushed into some type of ghetto with a panoptic headlight: “Do Not Exit, under Penalty of Existential Euthanasia, We Fear Contamination”!

...the starry sky above us...

“The starry sky above me...” Kant, “Critique of Practical Reason”

To Kant, it was an "experience of sublime", but the "starry sky" is now closer to us, more accessible.

The "starry sky" perhaps no longer astounds and frightens us, but it may inspire peace, conformity, harmony - a "feeling of Beautiful".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ94KIiUHak

...the starry sky above us, reflexively experienced, in us, as a “conformity to ends” which is expressed in the feeling of intercommunicable harmony, as ´”feeling of life”, by the compatibilization of different noumenic natures that are capable of making emerge a non-schematizable “perceptive pathos”, but reflected as an experience of Good, an experience which is enacted by the aesthetic “feeling of Beautiful”.

What is experienced as Good is not expressible by a form or figure, it is not also a (dis)form..., it is not demonstrative, it is not monstrative,..., but it can be interpreted-there and understood-there with the things-there and in the things-there...

The Good, such as Amazonia’s biodiversity, “escapes the understanding of the numbers” (borrowing a phrase taken from an episode of “Vida Animal” RTP).

,...to see in the verb the root of the verb...,

To see in the verb the root of the verb, to see in the things the root of the things is to "force" the veiled to unveil itself and the MemeticMimetic to appear and clarify so that the ignominy does not (pre)vail.

,...vides illam rem (?)...,

...the birth within a Catholic family, with the consequent growth and development, rooted in Christian practices, followed by later negation of the faith, and adhesion to the “schools”/“ideologies”: Marxist; Leninist; Maoist, in the theoretical/practical approaches, actively lived against a right-wing dictatorship, with all its fascist propaganda and repression…, followed by a, later, critical return to the Christian matrix, may give a human animal a good cognitive training in distinguishing the wolves from their disguises...,

"Leaderships" and "New World Orders"...,

A brief comment to:

http://www.amazon.com/Your-Handbook-Global-Leadership-2nd/dp/1450504558

Preparing a "Leader-based New World Order"? How antidemocratic!

Why global leadership? Who's the leader? Why a leader, and not cooperation? Why would a global democracy need a leader, or leadership?

Why not a cooperative participative global governance (co)structure, without a leader, or leaders?

At a national(ist) scale, extreme examples of discourses of "leaders of the people" we had the Nazism, Maoism and Stalinism...

Why open the venue to a "leader-centric globalist discourse" that top-downs the hierarchy down to the lower mindless bots, alienated desiring machines that obey the global leader?

Living systems are self-organizing, autopoietic, they do not need a global leadership, the system knows very well what it needs, and knows how to make emerge the best adaptive responses.

Top-down schemes lose perspective and are strange to the systemic bottom-up self-organization that is natural of every living system.

A top-down leadership scheme invites a zero-sum strategic reasoning in the game between the leader and the populace.

The "invisible hand" of life always rejected illuminated leader-based globalisms. What legitimacy does a leader-based global dictatorship have to think and decide for the rest of the world?

The world does not need a leader, leaders, or leaderships, the world needs adaptive, responsive, structures that regard the needs of everyone, that is, every living entity, not just humans. The world is not just the humans, the humans are just another example of an animal species, and not a very successful one at intelligent responses.

If one still thinks in the leader-based paradigm, one has clearly lost the evolutionary train. But who said that we need to remain here as long as the dinosaurs did?

...Mandelbrot...

http://www.publico.pt/Mundo/morreu-mandelbrot-o-pai-da-geometria-fractal_1461407

It’s a shame that Mandelbrot has died so soon, there remains a lot to be said about fractals...

...beyond the pragmatic operationality of the effects are the causes linked to the identity, projectivity and systemic integrity: zero/potentiality/rugosity: the systemic flux that folds onto itself: “AionFlux” to “Kairon”…,…

I don't know if the word fractal is a good term...; since a system's fractality is just an effect of a system's projectivity, related to its integrity and permanence...

Day of the Portuguese Republic

Day of the Portuguese Republic's celebration?

Blahh... this is all "crap"!

We are all going around in circles, any solution is worst than the previous one. We do not have reasons to celebrate anything.

Planes of transcendence...? "Crap"!

What planes of transcendence may create a species that seems to have origin in an anomaly generated by the garbage of some other reality that probably is still feeding us with that garbage? Our transcendence is from garbage to garbage!

We should have remained SingleCelled organisms, there, at least, we could dance at the rhythm of the garbage, at least there would remain something like a dance and some HopePotency left to actualize, perhaps some sort of hope of being something else than precarious and obtuse foul smelling animals. I confess to feel some envy of the amoebas…

When Ray Kurzweil states that the singularity is near...

The names and the things, of which the names are the names, form a living web in which the "logos mundi" circulates. A thing ("res"), each thing, is an individuated entity that can be signalized by a name that, necessarily, maintains with the thing a relation of "truth". In the cases in which that is not the case, then, the name, that is said of the thing, is not the case that it is.

Singularity is a name for that which is unique and, thus, systemically irrepeatable. A singularity does not make itself announced by someone (not even by a "Sentient Prophet"). A singularity announces itself. A concrete example of a singularity is an event ("eventus") and an event is that which suddenly irrupts in the systems, from a systemic nonlocality that determines the character of irreducibility that the system, in its whole, computes as unique, unconfoundable and irrepeatable.

When Ray Kurzweil states that the singularity is near, of what is he talking about? Has some kaleidoscopic Laplacian "daimon" whispered something in his ear? What does Ray Kurzweil know that we, the populace that sustains and maintains "The World System", do not? Or is it all a matter of market and marketing towards "desiring machines"?

...on aleatorial...,

That which introduces a systemic discontinuity is, comfortably, called aleatorial. Aleatorial is that which is not in conformity with the rules of the day-to-day human life big book (a bestseller). An event belongs to the category of the aleatorial.

When our tools fail in capturing the causality behind a complex web, the aleatorial serves well as an excuse to make us feel in control and on top of things, despite the probability being signaling that “there’s something here, you just don’t get it or do not want to”.

All risk is systemic

All risk is systemic. The risk of the others, of all the others, is also our risk, as synthesis of a systemic causality, determined by a reciprocity, of which we cannot exclude ourselves, as irreducible presences and openings to the world of all the things.

To evaluate risk is not a matter of observer/observed, no one is outside the system, not even God(s), if there is one (or many) it is still part of the system, and the risk of the world is also the risk of some God(s), if that(those) God(s) exists… though a God(s) is unnecessary... the enactive systemic autopoiesis is more effective than any God(s), “me thinks”.
