INTEGRATIVE DESIGN-ORIENTED ‘COGNITIVE SCIENCE

CAN SOFTWARE ACCELERATE CONSCIOUSNESS?

Can software accelerate consciousness? I think it can. But first we need to
define consciousness, not merely in folk psychology terms, but with a powerful
theory of mind. Then we need to explain how software might make your
consciousness work faster than it otherwise would, using the terms of this
theory. That’s what I’ve tried to do in a paper recently, and in this blog post
on Medium: How Hookmark Extends Its Users’ Consciousness: Based on Merlin
Donald’s Multiple Component Convergence [MCC] Theory of Consciousness. The MCC
theory is described in detail in Professor Donald’s book, A Mind So Rare: The
Evolution of Human Consciousness.

IS THERE MORE TO SAY ABOUT TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCES THAN L.A. PAUL’S
DECISION-THEORETIC PERSPECTIVE CAPTURES?

Is there more to say about transformative experiences than L.A. Paul’s
decision-theoretic perspective captures? Here’s a post of mine on Medium on the
subject: Beyond L.A. Paul’s theory of transformative experiences. And the
CogZest webpage on the upcoming (Sept. 24) Beacon Humanist meeting on the
subject: Transformative Experiences.

ON THE STATUS GAME BY WILL STORR

I recently presented at a humanist meeting on The Status Game by Will Storr.

DO YOU WORK ON MULTIPLE KNOWLEDGE-INTENSE PROJECTS? HERE’S SOME INSPIRATION

Via Mastodon, I discovered the following article, which I found quite
inspirational. If you too work on multiple knowledge-intense projects across
several disciplines, I think you will agree.

UPDATES TO THE MANIFESTO FOR AN IDO APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING OURSELVES AS
AUTONOMOUS AGENTS

I’ve finally made substantial updates to the draft Manifesto for an Integrative
Design-oriented Approach to Understanding Humans as Autonomous Agents, which I
first published in 2019.


AIMS OF THE MANIFESTO

The manifesto describes a way to deeply understanding ourselves, each other and
possible artificial general intelligence. While the manifesto is mainly aimed at
ambitious researchers and developers, it is also important for anyone pursuing
such understanding. It should lead, for instance, to books, articles and
software for the general knowledge-oriented public.

STAYING ON TRACK: UPDATES TO MYSELFQUANTIFIER, TIMING AND HOOK

In 2016, I published mySelfQuantifier — a time-tracking system that uses a
spreadsheet, Timing app and TextExpander. I included videos about this system in
Cognitive Productivity with macOS: 7 Principles for Getting Smarter with
Knowledge. Since then, I’ve made some major improvements to it that I’d like to
share here.

TALKING ABOUT HOOK WITH TINDERBOX USERS

I was delighted to present the Hook productivity software for macOS at Tinderbox
Meetup #22 earlier today. There was a great turn-out of bright people who are
very keen about digital knowledge work — very much aligned with the CogZest
slogan, to “Thrive in the sea of knowledge“!
