The vision for which we live

You probably have a vision for which you live. Most of the time this vision will be beyond your current physical capacities to achieve but why should you still persist no matter how grand the vision before our mind's eye might seem before our current state?


The answer is simple, even if the vision might seem too grand when you do a self-evaluation of your current capacities, you possess the seed for the development of whatever capacities you might need to achieve your vision. If you are really really passionate about what you are aspiring for, if you are constantly immersed in the thought of achievement. If it is not just a fleeting desire but a burning vision, if it is your singular focus, the only thing that will give meaning to your biological existence, then you will achieve it or a fair approximation to it.

Currently, you might not be expressing all the capacities for which you are capable of, but with persistence in searching for ways to go beyond your current limits, you will eventually find clues that will lead to doorways that will take you beyond your current state and limits and into the state for which it will be much easier to chase some vision for which you live for.

If survival is your only motive then what I speak of here might seem like a remote unnecessary possibility, but if you live for something greater than yourself then you understand what I am talking about.

As always remember that it is always about the survival of the persistent.

Next Steps Towards Strong Artificial Intelligence

What is Intelligence? Pathways to Synthetic Intelligence If you follow current AI Research then it will be apparent to you that AI research, the deep learning type has stalled! This does not mean that new areas of application for existing techniques are not appearing but that the fundamentals have been solved and things have become pretty standardized.

What is Intelligence: Software writing Software

Sometimes I wonder why programmers are hell-bent on writing programs that can communicate in natural language and not even putting adequate effort into writing programs that write other programs. Maybe is because of the natural tendency to protect one's source of livelihood by not attempting to automate it away or maybe because writing programs is hard enough such that contemplating of writing some program that writes programs might be even harder.

Virtual Reality is the next platform

VR Headset. Source: theverge.com It's been a while now since we started trying to develop Virtual Reality systems but so far we have not witnessed the explosion of use that inspired the development of such systems. Although there are always going to be some diehard fans of Virtual Reality who will stick to improving the medium and trying out stuff with the hopes of building a killer app, for the rest of us Virtual Reality still seems like a medium that promises to arrive soon but never really hits the spot.
