  In the modern world we want to know precise definitions and be able to view comprehensive legislation . However, the cultures of the scribes of the Assyrians, Babylonians, Egyptians, Persians, and the Israelites shared a “ way of thinking ” that is unknown to us. Their writings have “ lists of legal sayings ” that are “ aspective .” The first story in Genesis contains some of the most important aspects.

Facts About Our Relationships and Futures with Algorithms

  Why do we do the things that we do? Robert Morris Sapolsky, professor of neurology and neurological sciences at Stanford University, has spent a career doing research on that question. I am sharing this information with you to simply make you aware of these very important facts . The information he provides also relates to the limitations of algorithms.

Protecting Our Minds from Predator Algorithms and Polluted Information

  It is not clear what Americans mean when they talk about God. Yet references to God are everywhere. It is the rare presidential speech that doesn’t end with “God bless America.” The phrase is all over bumper stickers and billboards. The Pledge of Allegiance informs us that we are “one nation under God,” and U.S. currency assures us that “in God we trust.” Yet the philosopher Charles Taylor offers an important caveat. “Belief in God,” he writes, “isn’t quite the same thing in 1500 and 2000.” The main difference is that belief in God used to be assumed. Now, it is consciously chosen. Continue reading at - https://mailchi.mp/328c67cb89c0/protecting-our-minds-from-predator-algorithms-and-polluted-information

Algorithms are Rewriting Our Cultures

  The earlier internet was a human-driven relevance engine, shaped by live interactions between people. But as social media evolved, algorithms began to drive the engine. Today they gather identity signals of others and deliver them precisely to those whom they can alarm and agitate the most. Algorithms are rewriting the cultures in which we live. Culture guides what is right and wrong and what our customs, traditions, laws, and values should be. Continue reading at - https://mailchi.mp/c655fd05eb95/algorithms-are-rewriting-our-cultures

Imagine a Consensual Hallucination Experienced Daily by Billions

There is More Than One Way to Make a Dollar

  Always follow the money if you want to discover the facts. That is what I asked you to remember in my previous email. The next thing to remember is: Make sure you know what kind of money you are following! January 1971: US gold reserve at Federal Reserve Bank New York (Manhattan) will cover only 22% of the liabilities the US owes to foreign central banks. The crisis caused a gradual loss of confidence in the dollar. From January to August 1971, $20 billion in gold fled to other countries.

Setting the Stage for Understanding America Today

  In order to identify and understand key historical events, always keep the three facts below in mind (I have written about them many times): 1. Something happens. 2. There are unintended consequences. 3. Cascading unexpected events follow. As a person educated in banking, I remind those who work and explore with me, always follow the money if you want to discover the facts .
