Theory of knowledge

The theory of knowledge or epistemology (Greek gnosis - knowledge, logos - teaching) has recently developed rapidly in particular at the junctures of the sciences. Thanks to this boring philosophical science has become very popular and began a kind of revival in points of contact with the attempt to create artificial intelligence, microbiology, nanotechnology, science of the mind. If before the instrument for the search for the laws of knowledge was only the ability to judge, now there are opportunities for experienced knowledge.

A new technological order - the economy of ideas - has allowed the theory of knowledge to also become the basis of technological capital. A lot of ideas have the opportunity to bring income to the lucky, create new technologies and make life easier for people.

As a new idea comes to the head of a person

Everything is simply a banality: a formless idea begins to move from non-being, a person recognizes it as his own due to his features, the idea is in the person's head and captures his entire inner world, determining his future destiny. Therefore, one must be very careful with ideas.

The information flow overwhelms a person, we are able to perceive the world in separate fragments. And then a lot of flows very often, and contrary to each other, stoke a man in infinity. Nature has created an interesting mechanism for people so that they do not go crazy.

The information flow goes directly to the subconscious, the consciousness is committing a cruel joke - weaving a veil, covering it with a tsunami, so that it would not be very scary to live. In Marxist-Leninist philosophy, which is more like mass idiocy, there was an opinion about the ancient Greek philosopher Democritus that he was a materialist, since he stated that there exist "... only atoms and emptiness".

Democritus was never interested in the physical world, this is a fraud, he had in mind is completely different. When the information flow penetrates into the subconscious, it finds itself in the space of human understanding, literally in a void where there are no landmarks.

It breaks up into blocks, just like in blockade technology, which called Democritus atoms - elementary information particles. And here in the subconscious, in the void there are an infinite number of information blocks with encrypted ideas that need to be recognized and pulled out of nothingness.

Self-movement

Next, Aristotle with the idea of ​​self-movement has very successfully applied himself to the theory of knowledge. Imagine this picture. A lot of information blocks are in your inner space, they climb upward, into consciousness, fiercely competing with each other.

Paths are formed from the stable neural connections in your head and the one that turned out to be the most repeatable took up and the information block began to rise to the light of the mind. But there is no movement without a beginning, there must be a first engine that drives the system! So Aristotle more than two thousand years ago said that the movement of the idea is beginningless, self-movement.

Here is the quantum entanglement in your head, if you translate this mechanism into modern language. Information blocks are in a state of uncertainty and there is no reason why one idea should take precedence over others. There is not even a temporary transition from idea1 to idea 2.

There is a process of nonlinear interaction when the winning idea begins to oppress other information blocks and dominate the overall system.

The process of recognizing the idea

Plato Athenian once wrote a dialogue "Menon", in which he describes how a boy slave, completely uneducated, thanks to suggestive questions, solves a geometric problem. According to Plato, all knowledge is already contained in the human head, therefore knowledge is a memory of lost knowledge stored in the subconscious. And here there is a rather serious problem.

The mechanism for unpacking information blocks goes constantly in every human head, but they sweep with great speed and are lost without a trace again in non-existence. It takes an additional mechanism to stop and hold the idea in your head for a while.And at once there is one more interesting question: why the stop has occurred on this idea, instead of on any other.

This question was answered by the outstanding thinker of the turn of the 20th century, Marcel Proust. He explained this as a real Frenchman with passion, with energy that picks up a person and squeezes into a certain physical form. The Marquis de Saint-Loup, paralyzed by the goddess of art, sits in the theater, and the soul is in heaven. Exaltation flattened him on the theatrical chair, and on the stage Rachel ascended, in a completely episodic role.

The sense of beauty immediately fit into this girl and formed a desire, an insane desire to own it. The idea of ​​the beautiful received energy, covered the entire inner space of Sen Lu, fit into the 20-franc prostitute Rohil and paralyzed all other information blocks. Love for the goddess of art took possession of the inner space of the Marquis. What is important here.

The Marquis de Saint-Loup had a penchant for beauty, and only for this reason the idea of ​​beauty, although in such amusing form, became accessible to him. The shapeless idea randomly started moving towards the "global working space" between the ears, as is now commonly expressed.

The internal peculiarity, I would say the uniqueness of Sen Lu, left its imprint on the shapeless idea, formalized it and made it perceivable for the marquis. Here in this state of love for Rachel, which "... is given by heavenly conduct ...", the idea of ​​art could be perceived by Saint Lu.

If the Marquis were a courteous patsanchik, then this idea would hardly have been perceived by him. Most likely, he would take the idea of ​​realizing his own ambitions through the seizure of power, domination and subordination and so on ...

Global Workspace

So, the shapeless idea got a concrete embodiment and was between the ears. Then begins an even more interesting process. It begins to capture the entire inner space of a person and transform it, create a certain topology. After that, all other ideas can be perceived only if they can be squeezed into this space.

It's useless to tell Sen Lu that Rachel is a 20-franc prostitute. He will of course hear it with his ears, but not with the brain, since there is simply no room for this information.

You can tell a lot of cotton that its utensils are in the sideboard, a hidden bastard (a small dose of alcohol, insufficient to drunken intoxication), potatoes in a cellar do not need NATO countries. Moreover, the economy of consumption is held by two hands for each buyer and even worthless cotton wool is a universal value, and everyone wants it to consume goods and services as long as possible. In the wadded brain there is no space for this thought.

The global workspace defines all possible points in the space where the person will be located. If primitive psychology of conflict-authoritarian groups dominates, then there will always be yard patans, a war of everyone against everyone, a distributive economy, aggression, violence and expansion, poverty and poverty.

If the space of understanding is captured by the idea of ​​humanism, self-esteem, then there will be an opportunity for creativity, the economy of ideas, welfare and safety ...
