What is freedom?

What is freedom? There are two phases: one is of discipline and rule, to much later be free, where the discipline has become second nature, that understanding called wisdom. Mindlessness does not change the world, it rather needs protection; Buddhist monks learn self-discipline to remove the fences. There is no such thing as absolute freedom if not in the void; there is no such thing as good without evil; and there is no such thing as we are all equal, just as there are different phases of life. But there is no hope for freedom in a society that has no respect for the elder; there is no hope for a culture that has forgot the adventure of growing; there is no hope for a nation that goes global but is never local. A game without rules is no game at all: flat anarchism can be a juvenile experiment, deep anarchism is the future hope of the present war. And there are as many sensibilities as there are people, but there is one and only one rationality: the new man will not fall from the sky.

Circoli viziosi

È tutto così ingiusto.
Continuare a leccarsi le ferite è il miglior modo per evitare che si rimarginino.
È tutto così difficile.
Se hai un problema meglio se ti fai camminare il cervello, dopodiché tutto sta a rimboccarsi le maniche.
È tutto così faticoso.
Senza calli impossibile suonare, senza calli puoi solo "strimpellare".
Non ce la farò mai...
È stato un piacere!

What is learning?

What is learning?

They say there are two ways of learning:
1. By failure in solving a problem;
2. By solving someone else's problem.

Engineering tells there are two ways of learning:
1. By code failure;
2. By test failure.

What then is learning?

Learning is the process of minimizing failure by experimenting with failure.

Can a system keep learning?

Information fed into a system can produce a range of behaviors, including continuous learning.

Though not all systems learn!

Learning feeds on noise. Only living systems can feed on noise.

So what is learning?

Learning is the process of keeping up with noise through failure.

How can I spot a learning system?

To learn, a system seeks for failure to minimize noise.

How can I improve a learning system?

To feed a learning system:
1. Let it fail;
2. Ask questions.

What does that mean?

The supreme lesson and/of failure cannot be learned!

What's the moral then?

We neither prove nor disprove that:
1. Artificial life is life;
2. Imperialism must fail.
