krassner psychedelic drugs steve waksman thomas pynchon woody guthrie thursday october 6 2016 our neurogenetic archives a few notes i have a guitar student and she had a high school assignment to write on john locke and was worried i piped up unwisely ask me anything about john locke i m here to help ya she had the vaguest notion of what locke was up to but she did know he influenced the risk takers and revolutionaries who established unistat i told her locke has been shown to be pretty far wrong with his notion of our minds at birth as tabula rasa already i had lost her but aye i think the jury has come in with a unanimous decision on this we come equipped fully loaded for presumably many but not all imaginable things this has been established in historical time a few seconds ago or say 1950 now but to what extent are we loaded is it only activated with experience in the world with language with education certainly we inherit a shuffled deck of genes from mom and dad is that it aside this genetic inheritance modified by drugs learning changes in environment bombardment by cosmic rays alterations in diet etc this is my best unpacking of plato s problem as mentioned briefly in the review of knight s book on chomsky below in his lecture after winning the nobel prize for medicine in 1968 marshall nirenberg talked about genetic memories well of course our genes can be said to have memories in a certain metaphorical sense but details about this metaphorical sense as i tried to read his lecture quite technical but it turns out nirenberg was wrong about nonsense codons i can t get a line on it he s certainly not going off about how the akashic records were right after all or anything like that nirenberg gets as close to mentioning the astral plane as keanu reeves gets to winning best actor but that was way back in 1968 since then there s been an explosion of knowledge about epigenetics it turns out experience in the world of our immediate forebears does have influence on our genes lives poverty has been linked to epigenetic changes and mental illness for example epigenetics is the study of how genes get expressed and the more i read about it the more my head spins rna has much ado about gene expression it s not merely a messenger as many of us were told in skool some genes get turned on or off like a binary light switch others get modulated like a rheostat gradually becoming more and brighter or less and dimmer here s another example from the past year the methylation of the genes coding for the hormone oxytocin a hormone linked to nurturing trust and social skills can get taxed by intense emotional experiences what a wonderful example of the new reality of understanding biology a gene that helps us do very important things such as falling in love with baby as soon as she is born it s processed in the brain like a drug hell i see oxytocin as one of the more interesting endogenous drugs we have and we can synthesize it too this hormone drug via social interaction in the world affects our behavior and the social world environmental feedback can alter the expression of the gene this circular causal feedback looping of nature nurture nature nurture ad infinitum till death do us part seems like a microcosm of how everything works and remember then the epigenetic effects can get inherited by the next generation via what happened historically in the environment and just wow so death is not the end of our story we re connected in ways we didn t know before gosh dad father may pass down more than his genes his life experience too oh my a bad night s sleep can epigenetically alter your genes our genetic cups runneth over epigenetic drugs are in the works not fair study of holocaust survivors show trauma passed on to children s genes think of how all this impacts the roiling and boiling issue of income inequality there s plenty more where that came in a fine readable book for non specialists that i can point to cuz i read it and was enthralled nessa carey s the epigenetics revolution how modern biology is rewriting our understanding of genetics disease and inheritance combine this with a few books on the new synthetic biology crispr techniques and what the hell quantum computing and ye head shall be spaghettified but back to the neurogenetic archives they seem to have some ontological status outside the drawing room where the theosophical expert waxes on about past lives but to what degree darold treffert is a psychiatrist who s been studying savants and autistic people with extraordinary abilities in some domain of life he s been at it for many decades he became personal friends with kim peek the person rain man was based on though that character was a composite of many savants says treffert in the beginning he was a traditional scientist who read jung and thought it wasn t science too soft now he thinks jung was on to something he thinks we may have genetic memories of things experienced in the past by others whom we often cannot identify see his two books mentioned in the text linked to and give us a better explanation how wild this is we can inherit knowledge we can get bashed in the head and suddenly write symphonies when before we couldn t even carry a tune being somewhat conservative in certain areas i d rather not get my head bashed in and instead risk continuance of not being a genius treffert says we inhabit a metaphorically left brain linear rational society maybe activate latent abilities by spending more time doing what the kulchur is telling us as wasting time doing art here s yet another argument for basic income timothy leary and robert anton wilson have a collectively dizzyingly rich series of speculations on neurogenetic memory based on their reading in genetics mythology neuroscience history anthropology and literature they scattered their ideas throughout their many books and i d point to leary s info pyschology and wilson s prometheus rising for starters david foster wallace in an essay on david lynch collected in a supposedly fun thing i ll never do again riffs on our topic saying our internal impressions and moods are an olla podrida of neurogenetic predisposition and phylogenetic myth and psychoanalytic schema and pop culture iconography p 199 in my copy i hadda look up olla podrida well now i said to myself i think i write too much for this texting world i ll try to make this og spew a short one and so i ll end with a quote from my favorite cognitive neurolinguist george lakoff when we understand all that constitutes the cognitive unconscious our understanding of the nature of consciousness is vastly enlarged consciousness goes way beyond mere awareness of something beyond the mere experience of qualia beyond the awareness that you are aware and beyond the multiple takes on immediate experience provided by various centers of the brain consciousness certainly involves all of the above plus the immeasurably vast constitutive framework provided by the cognitive unconscious which must be operating for us to be aware of anything at all philosophy in the flesh the embodied mind and its challenge to western thought p 11 thanks for bringing your immeasurably vast constitutive framework of your cognitive unconscious to the og see ya художник боббі кемпбелл зробив цю графіку для мене posted by michael at 12

archives neurolinguistics oxytocin robert anton wilson savants timothy leary monday september 19 2016 decoding chomsky by chris knight noam chomsky has often discussed plato s problem which he obviously finds fascinating the problem is this how can people know so much given a relative poverty of stimuli just today you found yourself talking to someone and the words just flowed out of you you didn t have to think about them beforehand you probably never uttered some of those sentences before in the exact way we all take this for granted easily plato wondered about it and surmised that the reason we are able to know so much is because we already knew it in a previous life you just talk to each other and knowledge sorta miraculously emerges via a quasi midwifery or rather our forebears knew things and passed this ability to know best example apprehending our native language so easily on to us in a sense we already know everything but we need it drawn out by some process today people talk about genes chomsky takes plato s soul and changes it to something like biological language acquisition device but you already knew that see what i did there but this plato problem still seems iffy to me chomsky has often written about orwell s problem too how can people not know so many things that truly impact their lives when the information is basically right in front of them noam has offered a solution to why this problem exists in books such as his famous one from 1988 co written with edward herman manufacturing consent the political economy of the mass media very sophisticated propaganda tools have been developed during the 20th century suffice to write for now chris knight radical british anthropologist studied chomsky s works for over two decades in the 1970s an intellectual proposed there s a chomsky problem which is this how can one man write a massive body of work on linguistics while never mentioning the social world or politics in those books while at the same time issuing scads of books critical of his own country s foreign and domestic policies in chomsky s political books the mention of science much less linguistics is basically zero the writer who as far as i know coined the chomsky problem thought noam s linguistic work was brilliant his political writings were iirc naive for at least 20 years i ve wondered about the chomsky problem but as i read more and more i came to the opposite conclusion i thought chomsky s linguistics were preposterous while his criticism of the official lies of the state department and much much much more were astonishingly acute i read books from the right about chomsky that were mostly ad hominem character assassinations i ve read far too many books by academics on his linguistics that see his grammar models as genius of course the worldwide left love his political books there are at least five intellectuals who seem to have made their careers out of explaining collecting and championing chomsky s oeuvre george lakoff is one cognitive neurolinguist whose work makes a hell of a lot of sense to me and he seems to despise chomsky chomsky seems to despise lakoff see randy allen harris s the linguistics wars on this and i understand harris has an update in the works chomsky answers lakoff s barbs by saying lakoff doesn t understand his work but lakoff was one of the early bright followers of chomsky s linguistics models only to break with him radically when it became apparent chomsky s linguistics would never be able to account for semantics by which i mean meaning in language and lakoff who has amassed quite a large body of scholarship himself has barely had anything to say about noam s politics lakoff is definitely a liberal of some sort so social anthropologist chris knight wiki has almost miraculously solved the chomsky problem i ve been trying to solve it for 20 years i now feel the euphoria that one of us has solved it my many blogspews here as the overweening generalist on my own attempts to solve the chomsky problem now seem horribly unsophisticated and so it goes decoding chomsky science and revolutionary politics recently released is an astonishingly well written and researched volume that will probably be the most important work in the history of ideas post world war ii that you ll read for quite some time and i say this if only out of chomsky s massive influence knight has made a stellar contribution to the sociology of knowledge the sociology of intellectuals 1945 now and has explicated lucidly a new and dynamite version of how the cognitive revolution arose knight has apparently spent the past 20 years researching this book and has managed to boil it all down to 240 pages plus endnotes a massive bibliography and index in an interview he mentioned that he d finished a work in his field of anthropology and hadn t really covered the origin of language in humans because he felt he didn t know enough about the subject knowing chomsky was mr linguistics having virtually single handedly made it into a science and moving linguistics from the anthropology department into the new cognitive science labs at your nearby big university he read chomsky s linguistics in order to understand and he ran into what i ran into it s a cold abstract to a painful degree literally meaningless an unworkable series of models that get this by definition has nothing to do with humans communicating with each other chris knight says he admires chomsky s political work and there s no reason not to believe him he clearly admires chomsky s scholarship and courage in this regard as do i at times knight s said there are a lot of conscientious academics and intellectuals who have criticized the us as imperial power but no one really even comes close to chomsky that said noam chomsky whose linguistic models are finally seeming to be exposed as going nowhere anyone who has tried to follow chomsky s many models of cartesian linguistics aka masochists and thought to themselves either i m an idiot or this is a put on or possibly massive fraud that was me at one point will know what i m referring to phrase structure rules transformational rules grammar deep structure the nature of the language organ the minimalist program universal grammar and merge all scientistic all going nowhere basically knight runs all these down pp 173 179 so wait a minute what how can noam write about lies and propaganda which are by definition language and signs and symbols and social work among human beings while his linguistics work has nothing to do with our social being because of an admitted schizophrenic life chomsky admits he must lead because since the 1950s he s worked in the very place that the pentagon has funneled enormous sums of research money into mit perhaps because his quasi kabbalistic linguistics allowed him that ivory tower opiate he needed to deal with the cognitive dissonance if so if this is anywheres near a close view of chomsky then it s dramatic and strange to the nth degree no chomsky once wrote an article on the fall of barcelona in th...
