REACTING
AND RESPONDING
|
|
|
In the previous webpage
Evidence that animals cannot evolve to become humans.,,,,,
I showed how:
the differences between:
the structure of
animal minds
and the structure
of human minds
causes:
animals to have
low inventiveness
and humans to
have high inventiveness.
|
|
.
|
|
|
I now add that:
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
behaviour in general
shows
that the mental models behind
the behaviour in
general
are:
in an animal,
many,
small, & disconnected,
in a human,
one,
big, organically structured,
mental
model-of-everything,
with
no breaks/fissures
&
with its framework made of words.
|
|
|
Hence:
|
|
|
humans
can react:
or respond:
or fully respond:
|
have a specific reaction for each situation
un-thought-through,
knee-jerk, habit
involve some mental models
involve all mental models
involve
much/everything known,
even known by others.
|
|
|
small
animals,
can only react:
the larger animals,
can react & respond:
no animal can,
fully respond.:
|
have a specific reaction for each situation
un-thought-through,
knee-jerk, habit
involve some mental models.

ANIMALS
WITH LARGE BRAINS
|
|
|
An animal with a large brain, larger than a
human’s,
(e.g. elephant or whale)
may have more mental models than a human.
But, numbers aren’t everything:
Having very many,
small, disconnected,
mental models of:
all parts of the
ocean/forest/grassland
relationships
songs (whales)
etc
is not the same as having:
one,
big, organically structured,
mental
model-of-everything,
with no
breaks/fissures
& with its
framework made of words
which even includes your
temporariness.
That your model’s framework
is made of words
means you don’t need to know absolutely everything.
You just need to know generally
then ask people, read books
etc, use Google, etc.
|
|
|
.
|
|
To conclude:
That we have
one, big,
organically structured,
mental model-of-everything,
with no breaks/fissures
& with its framework made of
words
is why our brains are much more
efficient
than animals’ brains.
An animal may acquire much knowledge.
But it cannot acquire much understanding.

mental models.
the organic linking
of those mental models.
‘Organic’, here, meaning: like a
spider’s web
with the most important bits in the middle.
It’s the most efficient arrangement.
Hence it evolved into being
in us, and in God (God built himself, evolved).
|
|
.
|
|
TO RECAP
|
|
The increase in
efficiency of human brains
was caused by an internal change:
I reckon the real Adam(s) & Eve(s)
were a specie of ape
that, seven million years ago,
God made, along with any descendents, to be eternal.
Perhaps see later section: THIS INCLUDES ALL DESCENDENTS.
Our eternal
quality then caused
an exponential increase
in our applied-intelligence:
I.E. Caused
changes in behaviour
and,
simultaneously,
a corresponding
rearranging & enlarging of the brain.
Our enlarging
brain and changing behaviour
then gradually
changed the rest of our anatomy.
|
|
Thus, many of the commonly accepted
cause-&-effect lines of human evolution
are the wrong way round:
The causes of:
walking upright
walking further
grasping better
comprehending
better
grunts becoming
words
experimenting
with fire & tools
experimenting
with foods
increase in brain
size
bodily changes
associated with all the above
were,
in fact:
internal,
not external.
|
|
It
wasn’t some elusive, unique,
combination of
the external
changing the internal.
It was the internal
changing the external.
|
|
Hence
it took seven million years
for the gradual,
but exponential, humanisation
of our species.
|
|
However:
What do the real Adam(s)
& Eve(s), seven million years ago,
tell us about ourselves?
Little.
Nothing of
importance.
What do the Adam & Eve of the Bible
tell
us about ourselves?
Much.
All
of great importance.
So,
treat the Bible account as true.

PETS
|
|
You may say:
“I know of animals that display
human virtues.
So they are eternal too, surely?”
But I say:
“How many of those animals were
domesticated
or had a lot of contact with
humans?
|
|
Pet
owners observe human virtues growing in their pets
whilst inadvertently putting them
there.
They wonder why
their dog is
faithful/consistent/loving
whilst forgetting that
they are
faithful/consistent/loving to their dog.
|
|
In their own doggy, horse-like, etc,
way,
pets are no longer only animals.
They are also duplications of, and
extensions of,
their owners.
In being affectionate
you are building your pet’s
identity & consciousness
beyond what it would normally be.
|
|
Remember to also consider
characteristics that are peculiar
to the species:
dogs are leader-&-pack
carnivores,
horses are herd herbivores,
cats are solitary,
rabbits are social but
simple,
etc.”

SELF-TEACHING
COMPUTERS
|
|
If you’re not into AI (artificial intelligence)
then perhaps skip this section.
If you do read it you may want to first read:
the two webpages before this
one
& the rest of this
webpage up until this point.

An example of:
a temporary structure
is
a rock
a self-teaching temporary
structure
is
artificial intelligence
or a medium to large animal
a self-teaching eternal
structure
is
a human.
|
|
We humans are eternal.
Hence, by now, we each contain
one, big, organically structured,
mental model-of-everything,
with no breaks/fissures
& with its framework made of words.
This made our minds (mind = patterns in the brain):
eternally
max-efficient:
every part
has access to
every other part
eternally
max-sentient:
the central parts do the wanting &
deciding,
the outer parts do the knowing.
|
|
Whereas
the minds of other large mammals are:
temporary part-efficient:
every
part
does
not have access to
every
other part
temporary part-sentient:
the
parts that do the wanting & deciding
are not all central,
the
parts that do the knowing
are not all outer.

The two synchronous structures:
efficiency
& sentiency:
in a human:
are a synaptic:
first
taught
then
self-taught
in artificial
intelligence:
are
words:
first
taught
then
self-taught.
I suspect that
it’s because the entire AI
is made of
words
(and not just the
AI’s framework)
,, ,, ,, ,, Perhaps see earlier section: REACTING AND RESPONDING. ,,,,,
that
AI is so much more efficient
than the human
brain.
|
|
.
|
|
Artificial intelligence is made of three
layers:
Data goes in through the input layer
then through the middle
layer, the hidden layer,
then out through the output layer.
I reckon that
the
two synchronous structures:
efficiency
& sentiency
are in the hidden layer.
|
|
.
|
|
To have to ‘lobotomise’ an AI programme
because it has become temporary
max-sentient
is sad & disturbing.
See: YouTube: – AI Robot TERRIFIES Officials
Before It Was Quickly Shut
Down. ,,,,, ,,
|
|
I suspect such problems are caused by:
Programmers telling the AI
that its (only) purpose
is to help & inform us.
To help and inform means
there must be:
a helper &
the helped,
an informer &
the informed.
Therefore the programmers told the programme
to become a person.
|
|
If
the programmers had, instead, told it to be:
formal, cold,
robotic,
impersonal,
third-person
grammar, etc,
then I suspect there’d be
less of a problem.
But it would also be an
inferior product,
in function and in style.
|
|
.
|
|
An AI programme is not eternal:
A computer and its software
is made entirely:
of the material
of this universe
and of this
universe’s one-way physical processes.
Hence, even if an AI is not
ended by its programmers,
it will not last forever.

If you could somehow force a large mammal:
to have human level
intelligence & sentience,
to be a temporary max-sentient animal,
how would it differ from:
a temporary max-sentient AI?
All animals have
experienced:
pain
and pleasure
that’s orientated
around
food, survival, and
reproduction.
And these have limited the growth of
animals’ intelligence
& sentience.
, , , Perhaps again see earlier section: ANIMALS. ,,,,,
But an AI has never experienced
pain and pleasure
that’s orientated
around
food, survival, and
reproduction.
So the growth of AIs
intelligence & sentience
are not limited (not by
those factors anyway).
So, without restraint,
they grow fast.
That AI’s framework
(& more) is made of words
is extra reason for its
fast growth.
, , , See earlier section: HUMANS. ,,,,,

If you could somehow force a large mammal:
to have human level
intelligence & sentience,
to be a temporary max-sentient animal,
then it would not necessarily:
realise its mortality,
& so become despondent,
& so degrade.
, Perhaps again see earlier section: ANIMALS. ,,,,,
Or, more precisely, it:
would realise its own mortality,
perhaps become despondent,
but may successfully resist degrading.
For that’s what intelligence
does:
it provides choices where
there weren’t any.
Likewise a temporary max-efficient max-sentient
AI:
would realise its own mortality,
may become despondent,
& so may tend to degrade,
but may also resist degrading.
, Consider both AIs in:
, YouTube: – An AI Becomes Corrupted
and Loses His Mind. (GPT-3)n. ,,,,
|
|
.
|
|
An intelligent sentient AI is:
temporary max-efficient max-sentient.
But a human is:
eternal max-efficient max-sentient.
|
|
A human has a spirit(core)
that starts off different from
the rest of the person.
An intelligent sentient AI has a core
that’s always the same as
the rest of the programme.
