Intro to Second Lecture: The Role of Raw Intellect and Bias in Judgment

By

If raw intellect’s role in wisdom and judgment isn’t overestimated, it’s at least misunderstood. Some problems arise because few distinguish between them and other intellectual attributes, such as judgment and competence. Many biases are universal to thinking apparatuses, even if engineered, and remain unknown. This is the second talk in the lecture series and explains the origins of these issues, how they impair judgment, and what can be done to combat them.

More on the Ills of Academia and Excessive Schooling

By
Intellectuals are so plagued by unwisdom three seven-to-ten-page posts didn’t afford me ample opportunity to fully explain its origins. This is the first sequel to the intro, especially Part Two: “ Knowledge (alone) isn’t Power. ” It might require an additional one. Previously, I discussed the ills of knowledge idolatry and the intellectual debilitations that accompany excessive schooling. This essay will further expound the deleterious effects of the mindsets encouraged by university education. If people pursue school and general learning optimally, they can still get a great net gain from higher education, but that’s a much bigger IF than most think. People’s unwitting insistence on believing in guarantees, including guaranteed benefits, could make IF one of the most underappreciated words in the English language. As stated in the intro, it’s impossible to cultivate a type of learning without cultivating a type of MINDSET. Because of the powerful psychological components of thinking ...

The Law of Synergy, a 4 page Complexity Thought Experiment

By
  The following several pages are a  thought experiment  that’s a supplement to the two Extralogical Complexity articles ,  not an essay . Much more concrete explanations and examples of the following concepts are given in those posts.      Emergence and self-organization are the heart of Nature, and it beats with awesome power. Novelties bootstrap themselves out of randomness and into existence. But they must obey the laws of causality and energy conservation. Emergence and self-organization aren’t, by definition, driven by any directed, conscious agency—so what empowers them? Synergy. In addition to being a more figurative notion, synergy is, in a way, the opposite of energy:  It can emerge, but it is not conserved . Then how does it emerge?    Consider a system of 26 highly interactive but still independent variables/parts/or subsystems, A-Z. They can be anything from businesses in an economy to lifeforms in a biosphere to the cells ...

Extralogical Complexity Part 1: The Nonlinearity of Nature

By
  For an environment to evolve into something like Nature,  Nature  can’t be what people think.     As discussed in other posts, vertebrate cognition’s need to make comprehensible and motivating models of reality leads to a host of fallacies and illusions about Nature, the World, and human beings ( see summary intro ). Linear change—constant, predictable change characterized by bell curves and straight lines--is too weak to account for the self-organizing, adaptive powers of Nature. Nor can change occur to accommodate neat, satisfying explanations, where initiating events always lead to proportional outcomes (at least outside of people’s cognitively biased minds). This treatise shows the true dynamics of change, which gives rise to the characteristic phenomena of Complex systems theory presented in the upcoming part two.     You’ve heard “the balance of Nature,” “balance in the Force,” and the like. This is almost exactly what Nature isn’t. Some s...
