“The Minimal Cognitive Grid (MCG) provides a non-subjective, graded, evaluation framework allowing both quantitative and qualitative analysis about the cognitive adequacy and the human-like performances of artificial systems (in both single and multi-tasking settings).
In principle (and in perspective), the psychometric declination of one of its composing dimensions (in particular the “performance match”) could be also useful to evaluate the human-level performances in both narrow and unrestricted settings.”

“Пинтупи (одно из племен австралийских аборигенов) считают способность думать ключем к взрослению и к выходу из дикой эмоциональности, а "думать", "понимать" и "слышать" - это один и тот же глагол kulininpa, который буквально значит именно "слышать", и потому местом мышления считается ухо - в отличие от чувства, чье место в желудке.”

“The I-PFC extends between the longitudinal cerebral fissure that divides the two cerebral hemispheres and the lateral fissure below.
This region receives processed multimodal information and has been described as a place "where past and future meet" by associating memories from the past with future actions.”

“Imaginistic rituals, especially more severe types involving high stress, trauma, or other forms of shared intense emotion, can lead to identity fusion. Identity fusion is a visceral sense of -oneness- with other group members where acts of self-sacrifice on behalf of the group are not uncommon. Imaginistic rituals tend to be more frequent among smaller, more closely-knit groups where a strong sense of unity is necessary to accomplish challenging goals (for example, sports teams, Nay Seals, subversive political movements, etc.).”

“The incompleteness of our knowledge is often addressed with different extrapolations and assumptions, sacrificing precision for ease, and reflecting the self onto the world.
This is not always bad, but it can – easily – become tricky.”
