2-1a4 ‘Language instinct’ - Language can’t exhaust mind
1-1a2a4 The flexibility of humans are found particularly in the tacit knowledge
9-2b3g Edward Sapir - ‘The particular and the variable, rather than the universal or invariable, are where the intellectual gold is to be mined.‘
Each individual go through different cultures and develop different emic vision
My thought from this excerpt:
8-1a What can go digital will go digital argument is similar to what can go global will go global argument. It’s true, but that comes with the cost of doing away with most of what constitute culture, that is, the inexplicit (and remember that 1-1a2e5 Cultures nurture minds!). It’s easy to disregard them precisely because they are inexplicit and ineffable (5-2 What counts cannot be counted). That doesn’t mean they don’t exist, however. And even if we think we can do away with the cultural, that is not so because knowledge cannot be replicated perfectly (1-1a2e8 ‘Seeing’ really occurs after going through (or together with) emicization; 1-1a2e9b When ‘properly’ emicized by the culture, we see what’s not there and can not see what’s there; 10-1b2a Emicization = The construction of an insider point of view (the ‘dark matter’)). Even scientific communities cannot do away with being enmeshed in the web of meanings - value rankings, knowledge structures, social roles, and so on (10-2g1a Science emerged from culture). Assuming otherwise is the same as assuming globalization will proceed smoothly without any pushbacks from nation-states argument, or assuming financial theories will apply to reality exhaustively without conflict and mismatch argument (DM3, ソロス)
Does the same critique apply to what can be priced will be priced argument? (3-1a4b5 Anything can be priced in principle. But not everything will be.)develop
Put differently:
- Algorithms can’t accommodate dark matter
- 5-1b1a2d Knowledge is by definition unpredictable
- 1-1a2e3 Cultures are evolution’s ultimate solution to the problem of providing adaptive flexibility
- The genetic code as a language for specifying organisms displays phenomenal reach, but we don’t have an explanation for its universality. We do not yet understand the nature of the universality of the DNA replication system.develop
Is it true that 8-3a Robotics will be the new demographics?
