The problem-solving tools we are currently using are fundamentally incapable of solving the problems they propose to solve What perspectives and goals would a super aware intelligent machine will have for humanity? Why good ideas will grow and eventually outplace bad ideas, despite the tendencies for bad ideas (or ideologies) to spread more virally Regenerative agriculture as an example of how good ideas will eventually take over the bad ones Accounting for the limitations of human emotional immaturity Why psychedelics can help decrease irrational thinking Greg Kieser has optimism despite how disparaging the situation currently seems The two cognitive impediments that prevent humanity from solving our largest problems The illusory self and how it is baked into our social institution The interweaving of the self beyond the lifespan and into the natural world "We lack the brain capacity to acquire data, analyze it for actionable insights, then rank the value of the resulting knowledge." [source] Informational overload and the disintegration of objective reality The challenge of making decisions while trying to juggle all the knowledge we might have about that decision - analysis paralysis How to buy to apple Our governments are not prepared to solve our problems and are actually incentivized not to The value and the failures of democracy Psychedelics' place within humanities progression towards harmony Why psychedelics, themselves, will not actually help us better ourselves as a society What has he pandemic revealed about the validity of Greg’s thesis in Dear Machine Comparing the pandemic to the occupy movement What are the first steps we can take to start developing supersystemic thinking   ************** --- SUPPORT THIS PODCAST — ► Patreon: https://patreon.com/jameswjesso ► Donations: https://www.paypal.me/JWJesso ► Merchandise: https://www.jameswjesso.com/shop/ ► More options: https://www.jameswjesso.com/support/   This episode's Sponsor: https://www.jameswjesso.com/coffee Use promo code JESSO to get 10% off your order and give 5% to psychedelic research.   ► Newsletter: https://www.jameswjesso.com/newsletter --- BOOKS — Decomposing The Shadow: https://www.jameswjesso.com/decomposing-the-shadow/ The True Light Of Darkness: https://www.jameswjesso.com/true-light-darkness/   --- LINKS — Website: https://www.jameswjesso.com/ Speaking Tour: https://www.jameswjesso.com/events/ Podcast: https://www.jameswjesso.com/podcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jameswjesso Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/attmindpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jameswjesso

In this episode, Kyle sits down to chat with Greg Kieser, Founder of think-tank, Supersystemic.ly and author of Dear Machine, a book written as a letter to a future super-intelligent entity. Topics covered include blockchain, AI, money, Psychedelic Investments and how psychedelics can help humanity prepare for the emergence of super-intelligent entities. 3 Key Points: Blockchain offers an enormous amount of opportunity, by taking data that would otherwise be protected by government or big corporations, and making it accessible to the general population for a more accessible information source. Money is this interesting concept, that we are storing our time, our energy and our goods in a piece of paper. Psychedelics can help with this, be rewiring the way we think about money and the overall exchange for goods and services. Psilocybin is a cure, its use does not need to be continued for it to work, so Compass Pathways is highly incentivized to continue to heal new people, which is what we want, healing at scale.

Navigating Psychedelics Trip Journal                                               Integration Workbook Show Notes About Greg Greg worked at a foundation in NYC aimed at reducing the rate of poverty He started an angel investment firm/think tank, Supersystemic.ly He wrote the book, Dear Machine, a letter to a future, super-intelligent entity Looking to the Past Our nutrition narrowed when we became farmers “The truth is, we can't go back to where we came from, we have to go to a new place, so how do we do that?” - Greg There is such difficulty with people living in clusters (cities) and transporting all of the food in from the country It's important for the psyche to get back to nature and even taking on a hobby as simple as gardening can be so healing Children’s immune system has been shown to become stronger when living on farms and playing with animals and in the dirt Psychedelics are helpful in understanding how interconnected everything is Integration of Technology Blockchains have the capacity to take data and pull it into a place where we have more control over it (can't be bought or sold) When we combine our knowledge of technology with psychedelics, we will really start to progress as a species Block Chain The creator of Bitcoin created BlockChain, which is a type of database that lives out on the internet that no one can own It offers an enormous amount of opportunity, by taking data that would otherwise be protected by government or big corporations, and making it accessible to the general population for a more accessible information source Greg mentions a block chain that will be a regeneration of land Maybe all the members donate $50 to the block chain, and those members then can follow the progress of a pond or the growth of a tree, etc Its a good example of a block chain being used for good Money Money is this interesting concept, that we are storing our time, our energy and our goods in a piece of paper Psychedelics can help with this, be rewiring the way we think about money and the overall exchange for goods and services AI AI is going to get more and more powerful and corporations and governments are going to want to get their hands on AI for more power In Dear Machine, Greg wrote about a super aware machine that helps us to make super intelligent decisions based on what food to eat (based on our microbes, our genetics, what is the most sustainable for the environment, etc) Greg fears that the government will try to take control of it and have its own agenda, but he thinks that with super awareness for decision making, that good will win Kyle mentions that the Western mind is so obsessed with Apocalypse AI and Superintelligence are going to accelerate whatever systems we already have in place If it happened right now, it would look ugly But, if we create a world that appreciates interconnectedness and the diversity and complexity of our minds and our bodies, then we will be in a much better place Psychedelics have a huge role to play, it allows us to appreciate things, it helps get our ego out of the way, it helps us break addiction Monoculturization has led to a lot of bad things “Don't try to change the system, just make a new system” - Buckminster Fuller Human well being and environmental stability are two metrics that we need to work on Interest in Psychedelics Greg's interest in psychedelics began when we was invited to Psilocybin ceremonies He said it just ‘clicks’ “You really don't understand what psychedelics are until you take them” - Greg He then began to invest in psychedelics, microbiomes, agriculture, etc Compass Pathways The main problem with the health system is that we get into the idea of patenting molecules Psilocybin is a molecule that can't be patented, so he's not worried Greg wants to see psilocybin use at a larger scale, so the medical model is a great way to get there As a part of Compass Pathway’s program, in order to be a therapist and provide the therapy, you have to go through the therapy yourself Psilocybin is a cure, its use does not need to be continued for it to work, so Compass is highly incentivized to continue to heal new people, which is what we want, healing at scale Looking Ahead Greg is most excited to see healing from opioid addiction Alcohol and tobacco fall under that in his hopes for healing Greg is also really excited about the microbiome and the gut connection to the rest of the body There was an Autism study that gave people with Autism a microbe transplant from healthy people and after 2 years there has been a remission of symptoms Microbiome Reddit  Links Supersystemic.ly Dear Machine: A Letter to a Super-Aware/Intelligent Machine (SAIM) About Greg Kieser Greg Kieser is founder of Supersystemic.ly, a Brooklyn-based think-tank and angel investment firm dedicated to increasing humanity's readiness for the emergence of superintelligent entities through the study and spread of "supersystemic" perspectives and innovations. Kieser, whose university and independent studies of complex systems science form the operating thesis of the company, founded Supersystemic.ly after more than a decade overseeing a portfolio of technology initiatives at an NYC-based poverty-fighting foundation. His work at the foundation was driven by a complex set of metrics for measuring the impact of investments on the economic, physical and mental well-being of low-income New Yorkers. Dear Machine, and to a greater extent the company, unites his unique skills and knowledge in technology, social investing and complex systems science.

What's happening, Zengineers? This week we're joined by Author, Technologist, Entrepreneur and Angel Investor, Greg Kieser. He shared his most recent book, "Dear Machine, A Letter to a Super Aware/Intelligent Machine (SAIM)" with us a few months ago, and then was kind enough to hop on an episode with us to talk about it. Greg's background in technology businesses has exposed him to what a lot of modern technology workers are sensing, but Greg has taken the time to put pen to paper (stylus to screen?), and share these thoughts with the world. As we discuss in this episode, a lot of things around the world (almost everything) is changing at unprecedented paces, and it seems as thought this accelerated rate of change is going to continue with no end in sight. What is really going to happen as computers begin to have a sentient understanding of the world? Where will these technologies take us? Where will we end up? Will it even be "us" anymore? Greg's book is a comprehensive exploration of what's going on with and how to think about Artificial Intelligence, and with computational technology as a whole. It was a great read and made for a wonderful conversation that we hope you enjoy as well.

 “Dear Machine” writes Greg Kieser, author of the book of the same name and founder of Supersystemic.ly, ‘we know you're coming so can we just get along'.  These super aware/intelligent machines(SAIMs) may seem like science fiction but as they get closer to reality the question is how will humans respond when, or if, we are … Continue reading EP 244 Super Aware/Intelligent Machines

Title: Reflecting on Huginn and Muninn Description: Andy and Dave discuss “activation atlases,” recent work from OpenAI and Google that offers a new technique for visualizing interactions between the neurons in an image classifying deep neural network. The UCLA Center for Vision, Cognition, Learning, and Autonomy together with the International Center for AI and Robot Autonomy publish work on RAVEN – a dataset for Relational and Analogical Visual rEasoNing, which uses John Raven’s Progressive Matrices for testing joint spatial-temporal reasoning; in combination with a dynamic residual tree method, they see improvement over other methods, but still short of human performance. Research from the University of New South Wales uses machine learning to predict which of two patterns a subject will choose, before the subject is aware which one they have chosen. And Google Brain publishes research that demonstrates BigGAN, capable of generating high-fidelity images with much fewer (10-20%) labeled data. In announcements, DARPA holds its AI Colloquium on 6-7 March; the US Army is investing $72M into CMU for AI research; OpenAI launches OpenAI LP, a new company for funding safe artificial *general* intelligence; and the IEEE is set to release on 29 March the first edition of its Vision for Prioritizing Human Well-being with Autonomous and Intelligent Systems. In reports of the week, the Allen Institute for AI examines the quality of AI papers and predicts that China will soon overtake the US in quality AI research; MMC publishes an examination of the State of AI in Europe; a paper looks at predicting research trends in the publications on Arxiv; and another paper surveys deep learning advances on different 3D data representations. Dive into Deep Learning is the book of the week, available online. The University of Vermont uses an AI and Project Gutenberg stories to identify six main arcs of storytelling. Dear Machine, by Greg Kieser, is the AI sci-fi story of the week. John Sunda Hsia’s website compiles the “ultimate guide” to all of the upcoming AI and ML conferences. And the Allen Institute releases a “dumbed down” version of OpenAI’s GPT-2, with some resulting humorous reflections.
