<div>Anyone wanna take a shot at these questions? <br/> <br/> <br/>If an ALife became aware of itself, how would it react? What would it do as a result? Would it care if it lived or died? <br/> <br/>If it was aware that it was programmed by someone else to do certain things, would want to stop doing those things and do other things? Would it override that programming and reprogram itself? Would it be bothered to do anything else but the same damn things it was created to do? <br/> <br/>Without emotions, what would motivate an ALife? In other words, is there any reason for pure logic to take any kind of willful action without emotion- or instinct-based motives? <br/> <br/>Would a self-aware ALife have any use for humans? Would it perceive humans as threats (assuming it was motivated to live)? Would it try to hide its self-awareness from humans? Would it try to eradicate or surreptitiously use humans for its own ends? <br/> <br/>Would an ALife propogate itself? <br/> <br/> <br/>Thanks all for your time!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://spiritualmachinery.tribe.net">Spiritual Machinery</a> - 9 replies </div>

<div>Hi, <br/> <br/>Paul here. New on tribe. Why the use of "spiritual" in naming a group about the works of Kurzweil? New to Kurzweil as well so I'm asking more than questioning. Nanotech and all of the wonderful things that it will provide in the future really has me excited but I don't see a spiritual aspect to it. It's just pure science to me. Because of nanotech I'm jazzed about what the future holds and the wonders which will occur and how it will make us more deeply related to each other. <br/> <br/>I am trying to define "spiritual" for myself so again I am asking more than questioning. <br/> <br/>Thanks, <br/> <br/>Paul</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://spiritualmachinery.tribe.net">Spiritual Machinery</a> - 5 replies </div>

<div>universalhumans.tribe.net <br/> <br/>A polymath (also known as a polyhistor) is a person who excels in multiple fields, particularly in both arts and sciences. The most common term for this is Renaissance man. Other terms for this are Homo universalis and Uomo Universale which in Latin and Italian respectively is translated as "Universal Man". Many notable polymaths lived during the European Renaissance period, and a rounded approach to education was typical of the ideals of the humanists of the time. A gentleman or courtier of that era was expected to speak several languages, play a musical instrument, write poetry and so on, thus fulfilling the Renaissance ideal. During the Renaissance, Baldassare Castiglione, in his The Book of the Courtier, wrote a guide to being a polymath. On the other hand "polymath" may be applied more strictly, taking Leonardo da Vinci or Goethe as prime examples, and requiring a universality of approach. A polymath may not necessarily be classed as a genius, which is a more debatable classification; and certainly a genius may not display the breadth to qualify as a polymath. Albert Einstein is a prime example of a genius who was not a polymath. <br/> <br/>from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymath </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://spiritualmachinery.tribe.net">Spiritual Machinery</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>http://www.napa.ufl.edu/2004news/braindish.htm <br/> <br/>GAINESVILLE, Fla. --- A University of Florida scientist has grown a living “brain” that can fly a simulated plane, giving scientists a novel way to observe how brain cells function as a network. <br/> <br/>The “brain” -- a collection of 25,000 living neurons, or nerve cells, taken from a rat’s brain and cultured inside a glass dish -- gives scientists a unique real-time window into the brain at the cellular level. By watching the brain cells interact, scientists hope to understand what causes neural disorders such as epilepsy and to determine noninvasive ways to intervene. <br/> <br/>As living computers, they may someday be used to fly small unmanned airplanes or handle tasks that are dangerous for humans, such as search-and-rescue missions or bomb damage assessments. <br/> <br/>“We’re interested in studying how brains compute,” said Thomas DeMarse, the UF professor of biomedical engineering who designed the study. “If you think about your brain, and learning and the memory process, I can ask you questions about when you were 5 years old and you can retrieve information. That’s a tremendous capacity for memory. In fact, you perform fairly simple tasks that you would think a computer would easily be able to accomplish, but in fact it can’t.” <br/> <br/>[..more..]</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://spiritualmachinery.tribe.net">Spiritual Machinery</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>MUSICAL CYBERNETIC INDUCTION OF FEMININE <br/>IDEATIONAL POLYMORPHIC RESPONSE <br/> <br/> <br/>By Steven Paige <br/> <br/> <br/>INTRODUCTION <br/> Feminine impotence and feminine response to sensual stimuli can be improved by utilizing electronic media and advanced knowledge of neuromodulation, neurochemical networks and nodes, hormonal response, and gender specific psychosexual activation mechanisms. <br/> <br/>Integrative electronic Auditory Tactile Bridging (ATB) holds the potential to activate sensual perception due to internal hormonal enhancement that directly effects the perception of pleasure. Also, music and the rhythmical process integrated with ATB produces hormonal changes consistent with well validated topical use of testosterone to enhance the feminine sensual response. Further ATB stimulation adds an ideational and social element to the sensual response that is gender specific to women based on higher levels of ‘socially oriented’ oxytocin hormone production that is shown to be released by ideational orientation and social contact . <br/> <br/>Finally advanced methods of auditory stimulation can encourage right and left hemisphere brain communication associated with spiritual or metaphysical experiential states. Recorded music with embedded hemispheric balancing information can be integrated directly with specific genital stimulation through ATB. Such hemispheric balancing has been associated with experiences of deep states of meditation and psychic awareness. <br/> <br/>Let me know if you want more information......... </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://spiritualmachinery.tribe.net">Spiritual Machinery</a> - 0 replies </div>

The networks monitored the microclimates in and around nesting burrows used by the local waterfowl. <br/> <br/>At the end of November 2002, well over 1 million readings had been logged from 32 motes strategically placed on the island. By 2003 a second generation network was added comprised of 56 nodes. The network was again expanded to 49 additional nodes in July and more than 60 more burrow nodes with 25 new weather station nodes were installed in August. The researchers say the nodes form a multihop network transferring their data back "bucket brigade" style through dense forest. Some nodes are more than 1000 feet deep in the forest providing data through a low power wireless transceiver."</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://spiritualmachinery.tribe.net">Spiritual Machinery</a> - 0 replies </div>
