Lead With Innate Knowledge by James A Putnam

Margarita Iudin

Hello Mr. Putnam,

This is Margarita Iudin. You liked my essay called Imagining the future humanity http://fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/2096

1. Now I have a serious problem to find among the contest entrants those who will be able to understand the topic.

In my study I constantly use the analogous imagining at the very large extent. The analogous imagining is more than a method of exploration. We all use the analogous imagining (imitating).

I am looking for the open-minded and knowledgeable audience. Would you like to advise me what to do?

2.I re-read your essay - you do not say anything about temperature, but in one of your posts, that i cannot find right now, you started to talk about temperature.

While classical physical sciences often concern with a link between temperature and kinetic energy of the real particles, there are other at the deeper level of the understanding temperature has to do everything with materialization of matter and POLARIZATION OF VACUUM. I am sure you know this without me. Magnetization is indeed the fun thing to tackle.

Cheers,

James Putnam

To everyone whom I linked to above,

Margarita asked for some help locating fair-minded people to read her essay. I didn't realize that your own work would be judged to be inferior because it differed from her opinion. If she disagrees with what is written, she describes the work as inferior. Margarita's ideas are not automatically a standard for correctness. Each of you have contributed excellent essays expressing your ideas. Your ideas are valued by me. Even when I have different opinions, your ideas are valued by me. Thank you each for contributing your essays and sharing your expertise and ideas. I learn from you.

Hello James,

Do not worry.

It is not about the rating or peer-to-peer evaluation. We seek for a better understanding, don't we?

I actually stopped rating a long ago.

Hi James,

Re joy:

Have a look at this video of Mobula rays. I would think that for whatever dry dusty scientific "reason" might be given for why they are doing what they are doing, these rays are enjoying themselves!

Hi Lorraine,

I know from your writings that you have thought deeply about many things. My essay was narrowly focused on this point: The reception of photons as our means of communication demonstrates that knowledge is innate. I believe that many physicists would argue that, other than instinct, knowledge is not innate. I used their physics to show them that they are mistaken. At least that is what I have attempted to do. I think that strong resistance to this idea will continue. I think this is because the existence of innate intelligence is incompatible with the foundational properties of a mechanical interpretation of the universe. In other words, if intelligence is innate, then theoretical physics is not the true foundational science. In other words, mechanics is not the nature of the universe.

Right above this conversation, there is a message from Margarita Iudin. I would be interested in your opinion about her essay Imagining the future humanity.

I will try to write again soon in more detail about your points in your message. Thank you for reading my essay and commenting. I just read your essay but haven't commented or rated it yet. I will try to do those today.

James,

Thanks for reading my essay and for your kind words. I like subtlety and literary accomplishment -- both of which yours showed. I don't think I have read Roger's yet, so I will try it.

Hello Mr Putnam,

Thank you for your advice.

Except, Schlafly's. Yak. The exploitation of the great names.

You should not recommend me to read this essay.

Sincerely,

James Putnam

Margarita,

I recommend The future is the past by Roger Schlafly for everyone to read. I liked it. The reader sees what they want to see in it. That effect results from the reader's belief system. Belief systems matter where they should not. It is the state of the science that is responsible for that effect. The essay does not exploit anything. It is both a scientific document and a literary accomplishment.

Hi James,

Thanks for your kind replies with clarifications.

Again, I wish you the best in the Contest.

Cheers,

Dear Christian,

I am appreciative of your taking the time to return and read my replies. I tend to state my opinion in a matter of fact manner. To be clear, I was sharing my conclusions and my opinions, but, I hope I did not appear to think that I was teaching you correct answers. It has been rewarding to me to have the opportunity to converse with you.

Dear James

Thank you for reading my essay and for your comments.

I really enjoyed your essay and I rated it several weeks ago but only now have found the time to comment. I join the large group of commenters who really liked your lyrical style of writing.

You have provided a number of profound concepts within your text which led to moments of reflection, as in your statement:

"Access innate meanings and one's message will resonate emotionally with others."

Also, thank you for the recommendations that you have posted concerning other essays. They were helpful.

Good luck in the final stretch.

Best regards,

Arthur

Dear James Putnam

I see that you advocate free will, as I too. I write about this in my essay from 2013. In that contest I also exchanged some mails with Paul Reed who do not believe in free will. In that essay I also gave some link about free will, also a pure quantum mathematical proof for free will of Conway and Kochen. But, I do not follow completely to your idea. Why subconscious is proof for free will. It can also be a illusion of free will, for which we think that it is free will?

My essay

Best regards

Janko Kokosar

James Putnam

Hi Janko,

The activity of our subconscious mind has to be demonstrating free-will if we have free-will. The point of my essay was to argue that our ability to interpret photon data and make choices about its meanings demonstrates that free-will does exist. I do not argue that free-will originates in our subconscious mind. I am thinking that when you say "Why subconscious is proof for free will. It can also be a illusion of free will, for which we think that it is free will?" that you are meaning that free-will originates elsewhere long before the subconscious mind was formed. I think that we agree that the origin of free-will exists at the fundamental levels of the operation of the universe. Perhaps we would also agree that this means that the existence of free-will was provided for from the beginning of the universe. In other words, all effects that have occurred or will ever occur in the universe had to have been provided for at the beginning of the universe. I think that this is a requirement in order to not allow more than one 'miracle'. It is also a condition that prevents theorists from adding invented or imagined properties onto theoretical physics. Let me know what you think please. Thank you for your message.

Interesting and excellent James..

A poignant reminder that sometimes our instinctual side knows more than our consciously thinking self. That's always good to remember. I think that's in part a function of the right-brain, in its integration of objects and events into something we might call trends, but comes out as intuition in our perceptions. Well written piece.

All the Best,

Jonathan
