Darwin's Belief

　　As in the words of Baars' (1997) expression that both Newton and Darwin made great leaps which had led to the new understandings, respectively, of planetary motion and of primate evolution, the methodological key to open the newly figured worlds is always a variable; how we will see and set one by regarding once assumed constant as "a variable" to observe. 
     For example, as we have already known, Darwin's question started from the belief that the shown difference between man and the higher animals (apes) were a matter only of degree, not of kind. In this respect, he was a true behaviorist in that he observed that the occurrence of similar patterns of behavior in different species was evidence of mental faculties of them. Understandably, he spent thus dark days of oppression from people in those days. Being as behaviorist must be also difficult in his time.  ao

Why do children cry?

There is a unique thought about why children cry. It posits the effect of the actions you take to stop them from crying.    A child is crying. You never walk away. No sooner would it turn challenging when you physically interact with them. Some people will talk to them out of pity. Others pick them up, thinking that stopping them from crying is the priority anyway. Either way, the child will eventually halt crying.    What's more interesting is that even if the cause of the crying is unknown, there is always some form of interaction between you (the other one) and the child in the process. In essence, it stands to reason that for humans, the chance to stop crying through interaction with others is far greater than crying alone. Once the assumption that a child crying and the interaction with others are ‘connected’ is established, the child will then cry to seek that ‘connection’ with others, regardless of the cause of the crying. There is no reason, yet the interact...

KARA'S TEAR REVIEWED Kara was an anomalistic artificial intelligence which emitted a desire to survive. Yet, in the real world (2019), nothing is evidenced whether the machines' feeling, as well as animals, is authentic. Having seen this exquisite short film (2012) again, my interest is not in ‘AIs’ that will sooner or later threat us but in the human who will no wonder do an impact exactly when the Wreck Havoc occurs.       Men tend to think AIs with IC tips are a threat (like humanoids) because they will become wiser than us in the near future. Contrary, the more realistic tipping point might be in our brain (e.g.,    right temporoparietal junction, rTPJ): the human social skill, shortly, our fallacious compassion for AIs. How many people will soon become more compassionate being against the increasing ‘AIs,’ as of that in the censor in this short film?    The truth is, Japan has already witnessed many such cases in elderly welfa...

Is Communication So Predominant As You Think M ind and idea are fundamental to our life. The very common idea that people communicate with each other to exchange their mind seems hackery and around every corner. However, is the idea you hold the same as in your mind? Is it valid for you to suppose that language is "your" property, which you almost exclusively need when you convey all in your mind? I say this because we share some exceptional cases for the prevailing myth above. Truly, your idea occasionally falls your mind. Or your mind abruptly turns down immediate ideas you have cherished so far. Are you really able to convey meaning through the language you use? Our mind endorses and supports our daily life, whilst people like to talk about communication just because it helps us to communicate, exchange ideas, and socialise! Organic mind wondering, or poetic language is obsolete. People just leave much of the mind behind and hurry off seeking something to propagate,...
