Just like humans with #trauma, #MachineLearning #algorithms have a problem developing expectations that no longer apply (#bias).
#Psychedelics4Machines (sources of chaos in the process) knock algorithms out of a bad injunction, bringing in new perspectives.
"#Psychedelics can be considered agents of #connection. At the level of the neuron, they increase #synaptic and neurite #connections. At the level of the brain, they increase global connectivity between different brain regions. They facilitate increased connection of the self, and self with others, and they can enhance our connection to nature and the world at large. Their ability to enhance #connectedness may be linked to our sense of subjective #self-identity. "

The trickster shows how #intelligence fares in an unpredictable and chaotic world; he beckons us through the open doors of #innovation and traps us in the prison of #unintendedconsequences."

#ClaudioNaranjo: trata-se de um #xamanismo não tradicional, e não o #tantra asiático. Para #Naranjo, o resultado de vinte e sete anos de meditação, psicoterapia e estados alterados não podem ser enquadrados em nenhum modelo #hindu. E como poderiam ser? A “serpente interior” da #Kundalini #Yoga é simplesmente uma construção do sul da Ásia para ilustrar uma #neurobiologia universal; “não é outra senão a nossa mente cerebral mais arcaica (#reptiliana)”.
