At least they are warning people in the know. Rug Radio, LMAO
Enjoy that weather and the warming sensation of libations. Agreed not a great game plan every day, but on the particularly nasty days, light a fire and contemplate all that is good. Thanks for sharing the ideas of Penrose.
For anyone else interested, this is fascinating (from Brave browser's AI):
Penrose on Quantum Conscious
Roger Penrose, a renowned mathematician and physicist, has proposed a theory of quantum consciousness that attempts to explain the nature of human consciousness. According to Penrose, consciousness arises from quantum mechanical processes in the microtubules of neurons in the brain.
Key Components
Microtubules: Penrose and his collaborator, anaesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff, suggest that microtubules, which are found in neurons, have a fractal structure that enables quantum processes to occur.
Quantum Coherence: Penrose proposes that quantum coherence, a phenomenon where quantum systems remain in a superposition of states, occurs in microtubules, allowing them to process and store information in a non-classical manner.
Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch-OR): Penrose and Hameroff’s Orch-OR theory posits that consciousness arises from the orchestrated collapse of the quantum wave function in microtubules, which is triggered by the binding of neurotransmitters and other molecules.
Implications
Non-Algorithmic Consciousness: Penrose argues that human consciousness is non-algorithmic, meaning it cannot be reduced to computational processes or simulated by digital computers.
Quantum Origins: The theory suggests that consciousness has quantum origins, which are essential for understanding its nature and function.
Challenge to Neuroscience: Penrose’s theory challenges the dominant view in neuroscience, which focuses on classical computational processes in the brain.
Current Status
While Penrose’s theory has garnered significant attention and debate, it remains a speculative and controversial idea. Many scientists and philosophers have criticized the theory for lacking empirical evidence and being difficult to test experimentally. However, some researchers are actively exploring the possibility of quantum effects in microtubules and the brain, and recent studies have provided some indirect support for the theory.
Open Questions
Experimental Verification: A crucial challenge is to design experiments that can directly test the quantum nature of microtubules and their role in consciousness.
Neural Correlates: It is essential to identify the specific neural correlates of consciousness and how they relate to the quantum processes proposed by Penrose.
Integration with Neuroscience: The theory needs to be integrated with our current understanding of neuroscience and the brain’s functioning to provide a more comprehensive explanation of consciousness.
Overall, Penrose’s quantum consciousness theory represents a provocative and thought-provoking idea that continues to inspire research and debate in the fields of physics, neuroscience, and philosophy of mind.
I know cause they are paying me to do the actual work
They are extending the track into other countries... you know why
GM, and GFY Corn. 🤝
Thanks! Forwarded to my boss and cc'ed HR just to make sure I have my bases covered. Prost 🍺
I actually am developing a service for these folks. Anyone who wants to invest in runes meme tokens can send their BTC to me. For a small fee of 20%, I'll hodl their Bitcoin for as long as they would like. When they feel like they have had enough pain, I send them their BTC back, minus the 20% service fee of course. Guaranteed to outperform whatever other strategy they are considering, if it doesn't, they get their full stack back (minus the 20% fee of course). Please spread the word!
GM, GR ☕☕
**Permaculture Principle: Creatively use and respond to change**
When I first arrived at the homestead, there was a ~2acre stand of mature woods which I didn't have any intention of using for production. I thought it would just be a nice area to enjoy.

Once I started making maple syrup, I realized there were a lot of sugar maple trees in those woods. So, I hired a forestry consultant to advise me on which trees I could sell to promote the growth of the sugar maple trees. After the logging the forest was vastly different.
We had the loggers make paths through the woods as they dragged the trees out which we used to create a track around the woods for our horse to run on. At the same time, so much light had opened up in the canopy that there was more growth in the understory than we could have expected.
This undergrowth was a problem, because it was obstructing the access to the sugar maple trees. At the same time I had a problem managing our rams, we were moving a handful of rams every 2-4 days same as all the ewes and lambs together. It was roughly the same work for just a few animals as the large flock. There is a permaculture saying, the problem is the solution, this rang true in this instance. I realized I could put the rams in the fenced in center of the horse track to eat down all the understory growth keeping the forest clear for collecting maple sap.
Eventually golden oyster mushrooms started fruiting from the all the stumps and tops from the logging. Now we get buckets and buckets of mushrooms from this area as well. By creativity responding to the changes from the disturbance of logging we turned this 2acre woods into an incredible useful and productive space.

that's awesome!
Lopphub request: Jamlopp's Privacy Hierarchy (fashioned after Maslow's Hierarchy).
Could go here somewhere:

Privacy feels overwhelming. Much like without Bitcoin we all have to spend 30% of our time being financial advisors to ward off the affects of inflation... feels like we all have to be cypherpunk coders 30% of our time to fight against technocracy and government privacy overreach. You have so many articles about so many of the details, but I think we all need a basic framework to begin the journey.
rampaging today!
this is outrageous, absolute top shelf memery
My brother in code, this is epic. So great that this community can answer in very specific terms. Thank you. I learned something new today.
"only murders in the building" is great. not British, but great
