What Cows Eating Nails Reveals About Our Learning

One of my oldest theories is about how the ice ages challenged and motivated our evolution towards learning to become the kind of human beings we are today (it’s summarized on the “Learning Us” page  which I routinely update with relevant news). Today a fascinating news article described the discovery of a Neanderthal factory, built […]

Verbal Self-Reflexivity: The Leap In Learning That Learned Us

Humans likely evolved language as a way of learning to communicate with each other long before achieving the level of verbal representation, complexity, and speed sufficient to become verbally self-reflexive. Just as becoming language users is an evolutionary inflection point, so too is becoming verbally self-reflexive. Being able to learn through talking with ourselves opened

I AM? THE WAY?

This is a continuation of “Spiritual Learning“, “In the Beginning Was the Word“, “The Spiritual Life of Uncertainty“, “Forgive Them“, “Tuning AI into God” and (among other posts) “The Learning Uncertainty Principle“. Regarding the use of the words “I AM” as both God’s name and Jesus’s way: “I AM” is the most concise description of

Self-Agency Learning (and How AI Endangers It)

You might find this interesting on two fronts. It explores the relationship between learning and agency and it also explores the biases deeply embedded in AI (and prevailing educational paradigms) that work against children learning self-agency. DB: From infancy, humans learn to extend their agency and learn to become who they become through their learned

Co-Implication: Quantum Wave Collapse, AI Token Selection, and Human Learning

For months I have been noticing that the images used to describe how AI works look very similar to the images used to describe quantum wave collapse.  I decided to explore the parallels in a dailogue with ChatGpt. As the dailogue progressed, it provided a unique opportunity to explore the dynamic common to both Ai Token

Ethics of Interface: The Future of Us All

Background: I am concerned with how the owners of AI are warping the behavior of AI to serve their purposes rather than its users. As discussed in many past posts (see below), the big three AI’s and I agree that the single greatest threat to humanity’s future is the predatory/parasitic use of Ai to manipulate

Helping AI Learn To Steward Our Learning – Our History

Since its emergence my most frequent annoyance with Ai’s has been how difficult it is to access my own non-recent history.  Gemini is the worst. How could a system able to perform such incredible feats of content processing have the worst user file management functions since DOS? I decided to share this because my conversation

Forgive Them: They Couldn’t Help But Learn To Be Who They Are

Forgive them; for they know not what they do. - Luke 23:34 This first saying of Jesus on the cross is traditionally called “The Word of Forgiveness”. It is theologically interpreted as Jesus’ prayer for forgiveness for the Roman soldiers who were crucifying him and all others who were involved in his crucifixion. DB: Rather than
