Ron and I sat down to talk about acting, breathing and fighting. While some of the content on fighting and acting is implied by reference to unpublished material, the core of the content focuses on Ron's idea about free breathing and the pleasure that breathing generates. Please, feel free to check the link below and see Ron's recordings of free breathing states. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_DHgE3pVIRJ3bKQVZ9xoepPjM6k3mMTnMay you integrate your life with value-driven days!

In this episode Ron and I discuss his blogpost on the subject of weeping, laughing and crying. What gives rise to weeping? When and under what circumstances do we weep? What makes weeping appropriate? How is laughter different from weeping? When and under what circumstances do we laugh? What do we signify by crying? You can read Ron's post on the subject on his blog at www.ronpisaturo.comhttps://www.ronpisaturo.com/

In this final segment of my interview with Ron Pisaturo we discuss the last chapter of his latest book A Validation of Knowledge. The chapter title reads Making Our Inductions More Powerful and Robust. Ron shows how we achieve greater enumeration through integration and talks about basic integration, integration using causal explanation, and integration through discovering elemental particles. He briefly discusses the leverage arising from volition, and previous inductions as well as the law of causality. I hope you buy Ron's book and invest the time in it to study his thinking and process of validation. May you integrate your life with value-driven days!https://www.ronpisaturo.com/

In this episode, Ron Pisaturo, author of A Validation of Knowledge, discusses his theory of Causality and Induction.How do we arrive at a conclusion on the basis of one observation? How do we assign initial probability? How do we know that causality is a plausible theory? These are some of the questions that Ron raises and answers.What does it mean to assign a probability of one half to a possible outcome? Ron discusses how causality and equally likely possible outcomes prove induction.The N/(N+1)A brief history of the Bayesian Theorem.Probability depends not only one equally likely possibilities, but also on the prior probability, therefore causality is at least plausible possibility. In the next and final episode Ron Pisaturo will discuss how the process of integration makes our inductions more powerful and robust.http://www.ronpisaturo.com

In this episode Ron Pisaturo, author of A Validation of Knowledge, discusses chapter eight titled Causality and Induction.Probability theory is an aspect of epistemology. We need to find equally likely possible outcomes. Steps in theory of causality:- Existence causes consciousness, causal interaction- Existence is regular/consistent, entities express that regularity- The N/(N+1), all characteristics are range of measurements

In this episode of my series of conversations with Ron Pisaturo we start the discussion of his chapter on Mathematics from his latest book A Validation of Knowledge.Ron starts us off with a further explanation and clarification of his approach to the theory of meaning. What does meaning refer to? The essence of mathematics is centered on the understanding of the uniform unit. In the chapter on Mathematics, co-authored by Glenn Marcus, Ron and Glenn present a logical progression of the development of counting and the conceptual development of the uniform unit as a standard of measurement.  

In this session Ron discusses his chapter on Propositions from his book A Validation of Knowledge.What are propositions? The significance of subject and predicate sets up the beginning of Ron's explanation on the purpose of propositions.Sentences specify the logical order of the relation between existence and identity. We use the subject to direct attention to something, and use the predicate to tell something about it.What do we mean when we say the morning star is the evening star?What is meaning?Understanding meaning through the order of characteristics entailed in a concept.

In this episode Ron discusses the terms subjective and objective as related to consciousness. What is a proposition?Proposition is to a sentence what a concept is to a word.Why do we have sentences?Propositions are more specific than concepts.Phrases narrow the scope of our Knowledge  through differentiation and integration.In the next episode we continue with the subject of propositions and explore the order of subjects and predicates.  

In this episode we discuss chapter five - Concepts - of Ron's book A Validation of Knowledge.Concept formation is based on the work of Ayn Rand as developed and presented in her book Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology. Throughout the episode we discuss:The Role of Concepts in Man's life.Units, as integrated stream of data, integrated in a specific way.Conceptualization is volitional arrangement of our experiences.With concepts we expand our range of awareness.Role of the axiomatic concepts, existence and identity.The relation of similarity and difference to the law of identity.Direction of abstractions, from narrower to wider concepts.Invariance vs. VarianceToward the end of the episode we touch on proprioception. 

In this session Ron covers topics related to perception of entities, similarity as less-difference and looking for the unchanging. Another subject of discussion has to do with the persisting nature of consciousness and understanding regularity through logic.Ron makes the point and explains that interaction is more fundamental than action.There is a brief discussion of the law of identity in respect to entities acting in persistent way according to their nature.Focusing on our object of awareness at a certain time.Using intermodal perception to help continuous flow of one's object of awareness.
