Edward Calabrese shared a newly released paper on hormesis and psychology. Hormesis-psychology-1 What Silvan Tomkins might say: You have here, in effect, a psychological hormesis study: not of radiation or toxins, but of ordinary parental misattunement-unresponsiveness, detachment, intrusiveness, psychological control-and its impact on children’s emotional life. The authors show that moderate levels of such adversity

After loading the main dAilogue primer, I uploaded the Silvan Tomkins and Edward Calabrese primer extensions, and instructed ChatGpt to participate in the dAilogue in a way representing both of their minds and mental models.  I then asked: How would a dialogue between Silvan Tomkins and Edward Calabrese translate affect theory into hormesis and hormesis

This dAilogue began as an exploration of pain but led to a very interesting reframing of how our affective hebbian learning works and the learned cause of a great deal of our pain.

Still preclinical, but now backed by convergent 2018→2025 evidence, PBN Y1R is the central, non-opioid switch for enduring pain. Do you understand the thesis implicit in: “Scientists Found the Potential Off Button for Stopping Chronic Pain”: Nicholas Betley from the University of Pennsylvania has discovered that a previously overlooked group of neurons in the parabrachial

Emotional Learning

Our learning makes our animal emotionality human. Whatever is important is only important because it’s emotionally important. Whatever is emotionally important is only emotionally important because we learned it to be. Though emotion has is own biological logic, the context it’s operating within is always learned. What we feel as emotionally important is not an

What Makes What’s Relevant Relevant

We can’t use human ways of thinking about knowing to explain AI’s process of tokening. AI’s have semantically arbitrary, mechanical rather semantic, meaning space extent limits. An AI user’s bandwidth limits (technologically or customer type) affect the “depth” of context informing the tokening. That’s what makes AIs seem so absurd – as if they are

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

1 Comment / Affect, AI, Always Learning, dAilogues, 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

Our Learning Disabling Conception of Learning (full) with Gemini Index of other dAilogues Misattributing causes to effects misdirects and misorients our learning about those effects. Maladaptive cognitive schema and maladaptive emotional reflexes are both consequences of having learned to make and believe in attributions that shunt learning into acceptance and reinforcement rather than scaffold learning

Implicit Epistemological Learning (full) with Gemini Index of other dAilogues Is there a branch of science focused on “pedagogical epistemology”? Focused on exploring how humans learn to “boot up”, below their awareness of agency, through learning to become better adapted to the epistemological structure of their lives, including those implicit in language, family, culture, experiences
