notes by @Peter Kaminski

Topics

• collective intelligence
  • Klaus: vs. consciuousness (Jan Smuts)

Pete's Reflections on Using Mmhmm for Call

• was hampered by sharing one window instead whole screen (didn't want zoom video feedback, so didn't share whole screen)
• hackmd on one page is nice, but doesn't show other wiki pages
• it made raising hand and doing jazz hands more challenging
• i had to turn off video mirroring, which i low-key don't like :-)
• on my computer at least, it looks like there is a small video lag for my picture
• not sure how good the resolution of the screenshare was

Doug - limitations of measurement compared to stories

John - moderators on clubhouse - wokeness vs. free speech

George - collective intelligence is a myth - varying degrees of intellectual efficacy / efficiency - we invented a lot of kinds of "intelligence" - vs. mind skills mastering a cluster of mental skills - have just done more practice than other people - next big thing: Spaces by Twitter - audio is sometimes better than video - inventor of the telephone focus group - "radio is better than television because the pictures are better" - jerry: audio carries ~80% of the emotional valence - "audio gestures" - body language

Klaus - thinking and working in sectors, rather than thinking of system - consciousness (vs. collective intelligence) - are animals conscious? plants? is there an overarching consciousness

Stuff to Look Up

• (pete) saw a twitter thread about "intelligence" in humans, that it's fractal and includes your whole body, not just your brain.
