MetaState: Ghost in the Machine. Chapter 6 - A Memory for Forgetting
Quickly, our experiences deprecate to deeper and more defunct representations of our former lives. The day it happened to a year from now, the mind's holons abstract recall to primitives, criteria of relevance. Stamping in can better seal the deal for recall but how much and how often. Do words as symbols inform us for long, or must other conditionals assist along the way for a better permanent impermanence with our own mind's eye? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jeremy-bentham/support

MetaState: Ghost in the Machine. Chapter 5 - Triggers & Filters
Hierarchies are but mechanistic chains, one Holon at a time, delivering function moving through the order. A nest is a simple an elegant example of a natural holon.  So many eco-systems triggered and triggering other systems to build. Constantly, patterns recognized manifesting constancy. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jeremy-bentham/support

MetaState: Ghost in the Machine. Chapter 4 - Individuals & Dividuals
We sojourn through our next great work of polymathic erudition. This time by Arthur Koestler. Types of Hierarchies make the mula. Universe inny, universe outy. Reality, existence, life, each dance to the tune of different types of hierarchies, all a type of Holon. Life in the minutiae possess patters, cellular songs, self-regulating lingers in the space between dissectibility and indivisibility. Inter-dependence, independence are blurred with our human conceptions of cooperation and stamina, whether ant, worm, or hydra. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jeremy-bentham/support

MetaState: Ghost in the Machine. Chapter 3 | The Holon
We sojourn through our next great work of polymathic erudition. This time by Arthur Koestler. The watchmakers Bios and Mekhos assess their inputs and outputs, but for one the process is a dizzying mosaic moving slower than the clocks ticking in the background. Hierarchies optimize for building, creation, as they do for damage control. Enter nodes, or Holon, derived from Greek holos for whole. The geometry of hierarchies when done well does allow Janus' to see the forest from the trees. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jeremy-bentham/support

MetaState: Ghost in the Machine. Chapter 2 | The Chain of Words and the Tree of Language
We sojourn through our next great work of polymathic erudition. This time by Arthur Koestler. Conversations with our fellow humans are chained in complexity, beyond the mechanization of slot machines; the transactional. Language is poly-dimensional mischief-maker, by sound and phoneme, as in written words and morphemes. A dog who kicks a postmen isn't the Noam we are looking for but it does help us branch out the conundrum. Speaking is hierarchical. To speak is to express logic, song. Just because we are not slot machines, that doesn't make us Jukeboxes. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jeremy-bentham/support

MetaState: Ghost in the Machine. Chapter 1 | The Poverty of Psychology
We sojourn through our next great work of polymathic erudition. This time by Arthur Koestler. Dead horses with vicious kicks. A dyspeptic response to Behaviorism. Making Ratatouille a bug rather than a feature. The human mind, if be a titch Freudian and a tat Jungian, it nevertheless is more complex than a simple string of analogies. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jeremy-bentham/support

MetaState: Science Since Babylon, Part 13 - Epilogue
Here in the Epilogue, Price concludes his work with challenges and questions as to the future of scientific inquiry.  A visually-dependent portion of the book, you may also enjoy consulting my own visual confection experiment of Price's work here. Science is muchly no longer a one person show, with the fields exploding into levels of complexity and depth for seemingly no one Earthling able to compress. The challenge is thus put forward as to produce new maps of meaning and research for the scientific foray, with a particular emphasis to re-invite the humanities back into the fold. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jeremy-bentham/support

MetaState: Science Since Babylon, Part 12 - Exponential Growth & Unflattening the Sigmoid Curve
Covering all of Chapter 8, Price considers a more granular take on the great contributions of scientific discovery.  A visually-dependent portion of the book, you may also enjoy consulting my own visual confection experiment of Price's work here. The acceleration from Bodkin to cocktail dinner napkin takes continues. Taking on a now graphical analysis, from Enlightenment to 1900, it is predicted that the pace of scientific research and cultural emphasis is growing at an unsustainable rate, building towards a job-fulfillment vacuum of inestimable imagination. Nations are catching up with one another, and with each new nation-state starting ever-later in the race, all the more experience they seem to possess in leap-frogging the previous nations technological evolutionary path. Where will we be in the electronic age? Can society manage an ever-present scientific trajectory? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jeremy-bentham/support

MetaState: Science Since Babylon, Part 11 - Fleeing from'st Phlogiston
Covering all of Chapter 7, Price considers a more granular take on the great contributions of scientific discovery.  A visually-dependent portion of the book, you may also enjoy consulting my own visual confection experiment of Price's work here. Frauds by accident are produced by making honest errors with the guilt of pride unable to see beyond what one knows. The proliferation of curiosity can overwhelm, mistaking chronicling historical science for scientific history, leaving a blurred trail for more straight line of hardy experimenters. Becoming an X-Ray society started out as a Headline fanaticism for burgeoning scientific communities unfamiliar with the printed celebrity. Where the seance ended, radioactivity began, harnessing the ability to see through and into so much. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jeremy-bentham/support

MetaState: Science Since Babylon, Part 10 - The Technology of the Gaps
Covering all of Chapter 6, Price considers a more granular take on the great contributions of scientific discovery.  A visually-dependent portion of the book, you may also enjoy consulting my own visual confection experiment of Price's work here. What is the difference between science and technology? What sort of tests would one take to make it into Edison's lab? Can 10,000 technologists brute force their way unto the level of a mad scientist? How many researches does it take to create a light bulb? How has society plunged pragmatically with it's view of science-minded denizen? Research has morphed from dark and dreary room with but a bodkin to lavish cocktail parties and scribbled dinner napkins. The velocity of scientific research and revolution appears somewhat proportional to a similar revolutions in the means of performing of such research and experiment.
