A question of Science

Science is a complicated process of understanding in some many levels—they are two basic questions needs to be answer. The first is a control and second can the prediction can be replicated. There is a misunderstanding—a mythology, the idea between hard science and soft science, where each disciplined required different levels of understanding and required different set of skills.

While, a model—predictions need to consider only what replications say, will be very disingenuous to force a replication, to fit a model, and the skills—understanding are different. There is no such thing one body of knowledge is better than other, each level of understanding given a better perception of our surrounding.

Mathematics dependent on the logic able to maintain an internal consistence—if not a misunderstanding, on the other hand, other understanding—epistemology dependents ideal of a simplicity or universal understanding others really dependents, because the complexity where the question, then complex understanding required.

How a body of knowledge is created, how the knowledge become its own identity. Many factors, one when a questions needs to be dedicated their own set of understanding, when the question born from other analysis, cannot be answer by previous knowledge, and required a dedicated own knowledge, a new body of knowledge is born.

While we used mathematics, not be consider just a tool, where mathematics has to answer their own questions independent how is being used, the user of the tool need consider just a tool for his own purposed. Each epistemology comes from his own set of question and answering their own, while maybe be related to others, there is complexity, maybe lost when a single view is being consider.

Many will consider there one body of knowledge is better than others, which miss the point, when we consider a body of knowledge, cannot be compare, because the question is different, so the issue every body of knowledge become their complexity. One example shows this complexity our evolution of our brains, which dependent in a localized plasticity.

The plasticity dependent on actual physical limitation, but to overcome the space a solution, a hardware solution, evolution, the synapses 3 trillion of them changes, while the keep a reference point—memory, smell, vision cue or other technique, the plasticity able to connected to correlated new patterns, what we are, our strength and our weakness, evolution give such elegant solution, simple and complex, making an amazing, how life with his own limitation—created a solution, dependent on the context  of the process where the question is born and encounter.

There is no such thing one is better than other, all dependent what is the question—understanding, not to say there is no such thing right or wrong, not unique to any group or believer group, never do to others, what do not want to you, the question of fairness, power—how someone defined ownership, who owns the law, how the law set to favor one group towards others. How property is defined, who benefit, what is individual committeemen towards the collective—what the collective committeemen to the individual, what are the relationship.

Science is not a detached endeavor, is part of collective experience, we can share, dream and make live better for all of us, no man is Island, we all shared a common experience,  not just our specie, but we trivet in this evolution, because evolution, the environment was conducive for us to trivet, we have an obligation to all of us—ourselves to environment who made life for us possible a better placed, this experienced what make us human experience, growth all of us, an injury to one, as injury to all of us, we do not won this world, whether we exist or not the world—with his evolution will continue, what we are what we make for everyone, and our environment.

We are in cross roads, the drought in Syria force population to move, forcing a social moment, but because US involvement in Iraq, the conflict spilled in Syria, and this forced an emigration which was taken place from Africa, because the corruption, inequality in Africa move to Europe for a better life, bringing their individual problems, and with crises in Syria,  the xenophobic groups, encourage and supported by Russia, applying 19 century Russian Imperialism of Russification, now we are ended 2017 with a delusion this problems will resolved, in case Syria and Iraq carved  minorities living side by side, having different believes, language, traditions and historical grievances are not going away nothing have change, the long this grievances—differences are confront and resolved.

The should be an independent Kurdish state independent what Turkey say—Russia or other nations, sometimes individuals need to be separated to find their identity and able to deal with the world around, not as nationalism, but recognition of individual, while nationalism is based on some historical, ethnic, cultural—believe, individual recognized in the human-experience.

Homo Redux

Biology is very complicated science, the nature of the biology, sometimes have simple interactions, other times complicated interactions, but due there is a fundamental interaction  outside, due to the environment, itself , always is complicated, there is no accident, a tool in Biology is the used of the statistics to explain many of this complex interactions.

In popular culture the idea intelligence (the question what is intelligence—consciousness, we can defined to respond intelligence is respond to the interaction and consciousness is awareness of interaction).

Nature have given two factors driven organic system survival and continuation, but in the same sentence nature measure the cost, how much energy used to balance this effort (Israelowitz et al,  2011, Bionic Engr Journal, Vol 8, 129-139; Israelowitz et al, 2014, New Journal of Science: Biophysics) . Evolution finds many strategies, before De Waal in Prosocial primates: selfish and unselfish motivations, 2010 rediscover Mutualism, Peter Kropotkins Mutual Aid: A factor of Evolution, first published in 1902, shows as a strategy, since minimize the energy cost, by showing co-dependence increased the opportunity for survival of the specie.

Gödel as a responded to Russell and whitehead principia mathematics, connect where the try to connect logic (a Philosophy discipline) to Mathematics, in part due misconception the since science is express in mathematics the will be a unification of knowledge. What Gödel say the long was an internal consistence in the mathematical stamen will stand, the issue is not stamen ever wills consistence, the best you can say in so far as known.

This is a limitation to any set of rules, interactions cannot be redux to set of rules, to just chemistry recipes, evolution strategy is human have 86 billion neuros (Azevedo et al, 2009. J Comp Neurol. 2009 Apr 10; 513(5):532-41. doi: 10.1002/cne.21974 ), but what is key is the 1 trillion of synapses (connections) the reason is plasticity.

If male have stroke and paralysis (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/stroke/symptoms-causes/syc-20350113), then due males have two hemisphere disconnected, regaining speech become hard rod only possible due to plasticity (the synapses making new connections), if the same event occur to female our species, the biology, female have two the two hemisphere connected have easy time to repair due to more connections in the plasticity, what the plasticity due is an evolutionary strategy better connection, in other hand the more basic interactions chemical level, Charlie Rose with Kendall in their series about the brain, the schizophrenia deal with a particular aspect, evolutionary strategy our brain growth 3 times to our 18^th then the brain bring shrinks, at that moment study show the dendrites (pruning where plasticity is not possible), (https://charlierose.com/collections/3/clip/14403).

Another aspect of evolutionary strategies our early memories for most of our species begin when seven years old, early memories are suppress, there is correlation this memories dependent on speech (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_development). As anecdote the sister of Steven Jobs last words was vow, all this connections shot down, what will be.

Our science dependent allot instrumentation, before analysis can take place, one criticism of Positron Emission Tomography is show regions, but not the detail of the plasticity, regions do not show detail of dendrite interaction, other methods need to be consider (Freedenberg et al, 2014, Performance and Limitations of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scanners for Imaging Very Low Activity Sources, Phys Med. 2014 Feb; 30(1): 10.1016/j.ejmp.2013.04.001), the issue become, the evolution strategy become in the plasticity, and the question what is minimum connections a biological system can create awareness.

Part of the Homo Deus redux is the fact mutualism is one best evolutionary strategy, the economic meltdown 2008, where trust verify was ignore, based on the illusion the greed is rational, when the Agencies which certified (private) the bonds, lie and sold junk bonds with excellent certification, and the fact many this banks take avenge London was the hub for European Union, the US bank unload this junk bonds to European Union creating the economic meltdown in European Union.

Natura naturans

Spinoza dictum Natura naturans (while coined in Medieval times), meaning Nature does what nature does, not divine, in other words according to their own nature rules. While the scientific method means two factors, there is a control and anyone with some skill (Training in the Arts) can reproduce the claim, on other hand, any claim dependents on the experiment, and experiment itself, dependent on instrument and observation (for closed to two thousand years human cosmology was Claudius Ptolemy model—only when the observation of Tycho Brahe and Kepler analysis, Copernicus setting a new theory  and interpretation set based with Galileo introduction of telescope as instrument open a new dimension how to view science) , and while theoretical models can give inside, dependents allot about how much uncertainty is being described. Biology is a descriptive science, but occur with so much uncertainty, not possible to reduced only to some rules, where statistical analysis is intertwined with the description, making Biology a complicated science, moreover when combined with other disciplines, chemistry and physics makes this a very complicated field.

Since, the nature of science required persistence, dedication, and perseverance, time, limited his access, while no one can own science and anyone can practice and become a practitioner, while in our political system have created privilege by setting gates to limited, in some ways, the reason of their influence, because we accepted the tradition, not tradition is not set, change, due to external, social and scientific method (mention early), change occur, even when the leader of a field lose influenced (death), open the field to a new group, since is not dominated, science is in a continuum flux, while, some principals become fundamentals, like evolution, today Genetics have verified more than ever, but Darwin evolution made prediction and verified-case of some Orchids for pollination need a long stock to access eventually found, verified the prediction.

The Scientific Method, only can be when is verified, the simplicity, but the complexity, because to verified required in uncertainty—this is the beauty of nature, nature follow his rules, we the observer, to find and described this rules is the challenge. Technology is the manifestations of the observations.

How to practice these Arts, as to let others to follow our observations, the written are recipes anyone can follow and get to the same conclusion, does not mean somethings we travel in the wrong direction—but needs verified.

One example of this beauty, Newton inside the Gravitation, affected in long distances (we conclude the force affected infinity), Einstein in his theoretical model demonstrated not what it is the relation of mass and space, but finite (everything is limited to the speed of light) and taken more than 85 years to prove of this gravitational waves, but in more deeper, how in the microscopic is behaved become a challenge, since in this level quantum rule, wave function the limitation does not applied—making the reality a challenge and interested, while we do not have a total undemanding, nature follow his rules, whether we understand—the beauty is able to find ways to get better understanding, we maybe will do not have all the understanding, but nature will continue in his rules, given any one the opportunity to get inside.

The objective is to advances—not a competition, the assigned to limited the access, not just unjust, who made the judge, the jury and executioner—any one, none, we share this third rock from the sun, who because and happen, we are, we should leave a better place, not for us, but the generations to come, science dependent on billion eyes, our eyes, we can make lives of everyone better, no one owns, we share, because in the end no one knows which eyes will open the universe, prolong live, make live better by taken away diseases or better life. Science should be access to anyone, we should share, while knowledge is being limited, what we do is we taken from ourselves the opportunity a possible answer, a clerk in India (Ramanujan) become the prince of Mathematics (taken more than 75 years to realized his significance), only because Hardy open the doors in Cambridge (at the  time there was a  Bachelor at research—today the educational program is created to limited the access, monies become the gate, in Europe the Diploma system was change to the Anglo Saxon model, which is based on monies, as the economic meltdown of 2008 not supervision, the educational model based on limited axes, become a privilege). At the same period of time a clerk in Patent office in Swiss (at least one of the 5 papers was help of his wife—even he did not acknowledge, does not take away his genius and creativity), shock the foundations, by publishing let anyone to question and verified his work. Here is the model open access, because in the end we all benefit, even false, then we can advance, open and transparent, access, the individual  measure should be based on the work.

The Slave Trade

After Theoduses II codex and Valentine II in 432, where frame how Christianity will in the Roman Empire established , one of the fundamentals was Emperor choice by God, to have this direct connection, the claim—a tradition from Nero to others was the Roman Emperor was a God, here the claim was less, but the chosen was frame in Hebrew Bible, because that one of the many rules to constrain the Jews, were not a lot to own slaves.

While Antisemitism of the Roman Catholic Church was vicious and harsh, Martin Luther in 180 pages rant against the Jews in the Jews on his Lies set the the ground work wish in the Protestant and specially Germany, with secularization of Antisemitism, because that and many other factors the Jews become permanent outsiders is described by Arendt in the Origin of  Totalitarianism described the secularization.

The slave trade in the west of Africa, small scale, was accepted by Islam, specially regarding pagans, the trade was encouraged, when Portuguese encounter in west Africa the slave traded, established is trade my Arabs, the mass scale was accepted, not only by Portugal, Spain eventually British, while Spanish slave trade, basically was based to the last slaved standing as  described by Gates Black in Latin American, 2011 New York University Press, while the British North America Colonies the trade pick at 500,000 Slaves, the Portuguese and Spanish colonies brought 11 Million Slaves, which majority did not survived the institution.

The trade was limited only to Christians, Hugh Thomas in The Slave Trade, The Story of the Atlantic Slave Trade 1440-1870, 1997 Simon & Schuster,  made clear from the Transport, the capture, where done in Kingdom of Bennie or other in West Africa, but the purchase, transport and sell only Christians allot, not Jews (or Practice the Jewish fate) were a lot to participated in the trade, when new Christians began to be involved the inquisition got involved and stop in the tracks 1667  Grillo Curacao, where while Jews were allot practice their fate openly, the inquisition made sure the other end of the trade--1670, will not beneficent the Jews or the New Christians--One of big traders ended with Auto fe in 1633 in Seville (Antonio Lamegos) for being decedent of New Christians.
