Deze week hebben we Brain of the Firm afgerond met het bespreken van hoofdstukken 18, 19 en 20. Daarmee hebben we nu ook een mijlpaaltje aangetikt sinds onze eerste sessie twee jaar geleden!
Volgende maand beginnen met The Heart of Enterprise. Wil je meedoen? Meld je aan, door bijvoorbeeld te reageren op deze post, of anders een email te sturen naar info [at] cybernetica [punt] nu.

Having now finished Brain of the Firm, I’m extra saddened with the fall of the Allende government, today in 1973.
Incredible things were achieved in project Cybersyn, with extremely limited means, only to be destroyed by the Pinochet junta.

#ArtificialConsciousness: Why Current #AI Presents Us with the Perfect #Illusion
It’s a state-of-the-art assessment somewhere at the intersection of #neurophilosophy, #cybernetics, and the slightly uncomfortable question of whether we’re actually striving for #AC/DC or merely losing ourselves in a perfect anthropomorphic #simulation.

Gaia hypothesis (Evolution 🧬)
The Gaia hypothesis, also known as the Gaia theory, Gaia paradigm, or the Gaia principle, proposes that living organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings on Earth to form a synergistic and self-regulating complex system that helps to maintain and perpetuate the conditions for life on the planet. The Gaia hypothesis was formulated by the chem...

Interesting! Formal description of the martial perspective of this (I think perhaps a closely related) system is largely attributed to Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord.> I distinguish four types. There are clever, hardworking, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and hardworking; their place is the General Staff. The next ones are stupid and lazy; they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the mental clarity and strength of nerve necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is both stupid and hardworking; he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always only cause damage.

🌐❓Why #Reality is #Relations Not #Objects – Do We Need a New #Philosophy of the #NaturalSciences?
Modern #metaphysics does not need to hide behind the natural #sciences. Rather, it serves as a compass for a scientific-theoretical framework.

There was an experiment where a scientist (I think it was Pask) built a cybernetic chemical machine in a petri dish. When the requirement to respond to sound was introduced, the machine grew "ears": spines of different lengths (that therefore vibrated at different resonant frequencies like the hairs in the inner ear.)
One of the most fascinating and terrifying experiments ever conducted IMO.

"Met de Kennemerstrand Expres van Lovers Rail werd NS, sinds 1940 monopolist op het spoor, flink wakker geschud. En daarmee ging NS toch ook een stapje harder lopen voor reizigers"
Ah ja, de mythische belofte van de vrije markt.
Als we de NS (en alle bedrijven waarin ze in de jaren '90 is opgeknipt) daadwerkelijk gemeenschappelijk bezit zouden maken, onder beheer van de spoorwerkers, zouden we middels cybernetische organisatieprincipes op een veel directere manier het spoorbedrijf naar behoeften van de consument kunnen laten draaien.
In vergelijking met 30 jaar 'concurrentie' zouden we dit kunnen doen in een handomdraai. Dat we dat niet doen, is een politiek ideologische keuze van vrije markt fundamentalisten.

"As the pioneering cybernetician Stafford Beer famously wrote, "the purpose of a system is what it does." If your bureaucracy is more concerned with fighting fraud than delivering service, then it isn't a service delivery system at all – it's a service denial system.
...how this ends – in a war of giant robots in which we are all collateral damage."

"Tools for thought : how to understand and apply the latest scientific techniques of problem solving", Waddington, C. H. (Conrad Hal), 1977
> Drawing on general systems theory, operations research, cybernetics, futures research, and catastrophe theory, a distinguished geneticist provides the general reader with tools for perceiving and solving today's complex economic, social, and ecological problems.

"Psycho-Cybernetics", Maxwell Maltz, 1960
When you apply cybernetic principles to human psychology you get systems like this. Self-image modification is a potent tool for change.

"Feedback Control for Computer Systems", Philipp K. Janert, 2013
Feedback control is essentially the domain of cybernetics, I think.

"The Human Use of Human Beings", Norbert Wiener, 1950
> ...argues for the benefits of automation to society; it analyzes the meaning of productive communication and discusses ways for humans and machines to cooperate, with the potential to amplify human power and release people from the repetitive drudgery of manual labor, in favor of more creative pursuits in knowledge work and the arts. ... suggestions are offered on how to avoid ... risk.

"Cybernetics: Or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine", Norbert Wiener, 1948
> the first public usage of the term "cybernetics" to refer to self-regulating mechanisms.
