M.Minsky, "The Emotion Machine" p.220

Each minor obstacle makes only small changes in how you think, and if you "notice" these at all, they merely appear as transient feelings or as fleeting ideas. But, when more serious obstacles persist and keep you from making progress, then various Critics intervene to make larger changes in how you think.

if your thoughts were controlled in only a single way, you would be in danger of becoming a monomaniac.

アフリカやブラジルの初めて見る作家はもちろん、見慣れた日本の作家にも発見があった。特に、奈良美智の壺(?)。この人、こんなにすごかったんだ。何百年後かにこの壺が発掘されたら、きっと未来の人々は感嘆の声をあげるだろう。

What could have made us all victims of that "amnesia of infancy"? I don't think this is simply because we "forgot". Instead, I suspect that it results from our developing new and better ways to represent both physical and mental events - and some of these methods became so effective that they replaced our previous ones.

trying to make education too pleasant might hinder children from learning to climb the conceptual mountains inside their monds.

 

M.Minsky, "The Emotion Machine" p.213

you can usually  start to improve a skill by experimenting with many small steps - but eventually no more such changes may help, because you have reached a local peak. Then further improvement may require you to endure some discomfort and discouragement.

In such cases, "I am enjoying this," could mean, "I want to remain in my present  state, so I'll try to suppress whatever might change it."

 

M.Minsky, "The Emotion Machine" p.209

This often enables us to use our knowledge about one kind of thing to understand some other, different kind of thing - and discovering new ways to look at things is one of our most powerful commonsense processes.

Then how similar they may seem to be will depend upon which differences one decides to ignore. But the importance of each difference depends upon one's current intentions and goals.

津波速報、色を統一 TV局、色覚障害者に配慮

torugon さんに代わって Google リーダーがお届けしています:


 NHKと民放キー各局が、テレビ画面で津波警報や注意報を流す場合、色覚障害者にも見やすい色に統一したことが18日、分かった。これまで放送局ごとにばらばらの色使いだったが「命に関わる情報なので分かりやすくしたい」(TBS)というのが理由だ。各地の民放系列局でも順次対応を進めるという。

In other words, "free will" is not a process we use to make a decision, but one that we use to stop other processes!

whenever we find an A that "almost works" (that is, for our present
purposes) along with a B that actually works, we connect the two with
a Difference-Link that represents, "A is like B, except for a
difference D."

perhaps we use those tidy structures of notes and tunes as simplified "virtual" worlds for refining Difference-Detectors that we can then use for condensing more complex events (in other realms) into more orderly storylike scripts.

 

M.Minsky, "The Emotion Machine" p.198

Also, when repetitive signals anesthetize some parts of your brain, this could relaeas some othe resources to think in new, unusual ways. This could be why some types of meditation can thrive on repetitive mantras and chants.

 

M.Minsky, "The Emotion Machine" p.197

Finally, our "Storytellers" interpret each piece as similar to events in other realms -such as depicting a journey through space and time, or a skirmish among personalities. One special appeal of music is how effectively it can depict what we might call "abstract emotional scripts" -stories that seem to be about entities about whom we know nothing at all except that we can recognize their individual characteristics -e.g., this one is warm and affectionate, whereas that one is cold and intensive.

In the case of most music, this structure is clear: we begin by grouping separate notes into "measures" of equal length, and we then group these into larger section, until the whole composition is seen as a storylike structure. We do this in vision and language, too - although with less repetitiousness - by grouping collections of smaller events into multiple levels of events, incidents, episodes, sections, and plots. However, we see this most clearly in music forms.

I suspect that ,inside each human brain, many such processes all run at once, at various levels in various realms. These range from reactive systems that work all the time (like those that maintain our temperatures) up to the self-conscious levels at which we less frequently think about what kind of person we'd like to be.

A system will seem to have a goal when it persists applying different techniques until the present situation changes into a certain other condition.

ごま団子

このところ、中華のごま団子が気に入ってる。もちもち感も油の具合も日本のお菓子とは一味違って面白い。
小さめで、甘いけれどくどくないのが望ましい。

iPadが良いわけ

寝転がって使える。これが一番の理由。
画面は大きい程見やすいが、大きすぎると仰向けになってずっと持っていられない。iPadはぎりぎりの大きさ。
かつ、左手で持ちつつ右掌下部でもちょっと支えて右の指でキー入力なんてことができる(両掌下部で支えつつ両手親指入力でもいい)形状。練り上げた設計だと思う。
Steve、寝てる時間が多いからこれを作ったかな。

records are useless unless you have ways to "re-collect" the ones that are relevant to the problem that you are facing right now.

In an organ-based structure, a change in one organ will have fewer bad effects on what happens inside the other organs.
