Self models

clipper's remarks: There is no such thing as a substantial self (as a distinct ontological entity, which could in principle exist by itself), but only a dynamic, ongoing process creating very specific representational and functional properties. Self-consciousness is a form of physically realized representational content

The self-model theory of subjectivity (SMT)

The concept of a self-model plays the central role in a philosophical theory of consciousness, the phenomenal self and the first-person perspective

However, SMT is not only a conceptual framework in analytical philosophy of mind, but at the same time an interdisciplinary research program spanning many disciplines from neuroscience, cognitive science, neuropsychology and psychiatry to artificial intelligence and evolutionary robotics

The central questions motivating the SMT are: How, in principle, could a consciously experienced self and a genuine first-person perspective emerge in a given information-processing system? At what point in the actual natural evolution of nervous systems on our planet did explicit self-models first appear?

What exactly made the transition from unconscious to conscious self-models possible?

But, she adds, the Illinois senator's body language often changes "dramatically", like a chameleon, depending on his audience.

She says: "The way Obama morphs makes me uncomfortable. I'm uneasy with someone who can transform himself so completely that we lose his essence."

Americans feeling the Strain

The fact is, under-privileged families have exhausted the coping mechanisms they have used for more than three decades to get by on median wages that are barely higher than they were in 1970, adjusted for inflation.

Male wages today are in fact lower than they were then: the income of a young man in his 30s is now 12 per cent below that of a man his age three decades ago.

Yet for years now, America’s middle class has lived beyond its pay cheque. Middle-class lifestyles have flourished even though median wages have barely budged. That is ending and Americans are beginning to feel the consequences.

The first coping mechanism was moving more women into paid work. The percentage of American working mothers with school-age children has almost doubled since 1970 – from 38 per cent to close to 70 per cent.

Some parents are now even doing 24-hour shifts, one on child duty while the other works.

Almost all the benefits of economic growth

have gone to a small number of people at the very top.

9 Beet Stretch

Leif Inge - in his own words - is an idea based artist. And '9 Beet Stretch' is one of his idea based works: (a recording of) Ludwig van Beethoven's ninth symphony digitally 'stretched' to last for twenty four hours; without changing the original pitches.

So ... tune in, sit back ... relax ...

Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

If you're unfortunate enough to buy music from Sony, you may think that the worst thing they'll do to you is screw you by infecting your computer with malicious rootkit software. Not so! Rootkits are only the beginning. If you want to see how Sony really gives its customers the shaft, have a look at these conditions in the license you have to agree to when you put a Sony music CD in your computer:

USB cables wont carry high-definition video data without DRM checks, should the USB Implementers Forum go through with its plans.

Anyway, it's that old joke about how speakers would one day have internet connections to check to see if you're allowed to listen to your own music, except that it's for real. Nothing will stop it because nothing will stop us buying the worthless, crippled junk that shall be built with it.

The most basic activities on Facebook include “friending” other Facebook members and adding small Facebook apps to your profile. As you do this, you quickly realize that these events become an intermittent narrative of your actions on Facebook, and that they show up on your “friends’” feeds. So when you buddy with Joan and Bobby, all the people you’re already friended with see that you just friended Joan, then Bobby. Then they see you added the Werewolf app, and so on.
