Re: negative information/constitutive absence and book: The User Illusion To see messages related to this one, group messages by conversation. Add to contacts Thanks Mark for these references and also for your notes. I've learned a lot from reading Dennett and Dawkins, and I think this will be of great interest. If you would like to run a casual "reading group" or discussion, can I suggest starting a thread at http://forum.quantifiedself.com. Dan D. has set it up to be extremely easy to use, and it has a lot of features that Google groups doesn't, such as the ability to moderate, move posts, etc. etc.... Let me know if I can help here. Best, 
negative information/constitutive absence and book: The User Illusion Hi all, as you know, I have a simple knowing practice: I write stuff down.  When attend a class, go to a talk, read a book, having a great conversation -- at the same time -- I'm writing or typing what ideas I desire to see again.  Margin notes of experience.  Perhaps I do this more than some as I have a simple place to put them which rewards saving: mx. Many entries come from thinking about mind: books, talks, reflection, etc.  A particular focus is into the nature of 'nothing,' or, necessary relations to things absent in complex systems and information/entropy. Simple examples are Bateson's reference to Arthur Conan Doyle's Hound of the Baskervilles 'dog that didn't bark in the night,' and your reaction to the letter you expected but didn't get. Prof. Terrence Deacon's great new book on how absential phenomena is essential to biology is now out: Incomplete Nature -How Mind Emerged from Matter.  Get it, hard work and worth it. Chapter 6, Constraint is especially transformative regarding  work that stuff-not-there does. Rodrigo, Josh Bacigaulpi and I chatted with Prof. Deacon April 30 at a cog sci conference at Berkeley.  I mentioned related absential ideas in Tor Norretranders 1998 book, The User Illusion: Cutting Consciousness Down to Size (Recommended by Monica Anderson).  I hoped to follow up discussing those ideas. What I did next day was: take my mx notes from The User Illusion and grey-out ideas not relevant to that imagined discussion (file 1 - 1551 entries) remove greyed-out ideas, then highlight most relevant (file 2 - 398 entries) remove non-highlighted ideas, leaving the at-that-time most relevant (file 3 - 38 entries), but I didn't send. Perhaps a quick read of the last, smallest file has some useful or essential ideas: depth and exforamtion.  I might further boil them down today as: whatever context is, recursion is a process essential to its operation less is more -- only in relation to that more of which the less is part Hopefully I can express these better some day. ---------------------------------------------- I'm following up/writing now, because I've recommended the User Illusion book again.  But in a slightly different context: the I / me distinction Norretranders makes.  I put it this way: Inside the inner self is an inner other; next to the inner self is an outer self. Outside the outer self are outer others -- with inner/outer, self and other. Transformation or phase change of stuff across these (imagined?) boundaries is interesting.  For example how levels below consciousness create the conscious experience of seeing something, or feeling delighted, or the speech of asking a question.  Or different boundaries, if not all of them: empathy. So, re. discussion: Discuss. More is good. For my own part, it's been pretty great one-to-one.  Thanks all. But perhaps: small group (3-5). email  :) Others have asked for sort of a more permanent venue, which seemingly need to get past a sort of inertia. Been too busy to have T4s (thinking about thinking things thing) lately. Can someone host? There's the http://www.meetup.com/CooperativeMind/messages/boards/ Needs love and leading. The google group: http://groups.google.com/group/cooperativemind?hl=en&pli=1 Ditto. other web places (?) TBD: book site for Incomplete Nature, discussion areas for http://incompletenature.com/ (if anyone wants to help, design) Look forward to talking with you again, however it happens,

Re: Official T-day invite! Here is our official Thanksgiving yes! I think we'll probably be able to drive ourselves home the same day, although a slumber party on a bunch of airbeds sounds like fun. You'll have to refresh my memory of the cabin's address. Anything we can bring?
Re: REQUEST FOR INFORMATIONS Youssef , Thank you!! The both trip sound good, we will disscuss the options you suggested, personally, I like the Fez one better, in this one, we will arrive Fez on 26th evening, am I correct? (because in the message it says "the end of 4th day tour") The total cost for the Fez option will be Euro 270X3 + 110 = 920, pls let me know if we want to book it with you, what do you need from me? Thanks. We can arrange 3 days trip from Marrakech to Fes, 3 days/2 nights, include one night in desert. Here is more information about the trip. Day 1 : Marrakech - Ait Benhaddou - Boumalene Dades We pick you up from the your Riad or Hotel and leave Marrakech to begin our tour in the Dades Gorge. We pass through Tizi-n-Tishka in the high Atlas Mountains where we pause to appreciate the mountain views. We visit the Ait Ben Haddou village which is recognized by UNESCO as a world patrimony. It is famous as a backdrop for many films, including 'Lawrence of Arabia', 'Gladiator' and 'Alexander'. We take lunch here before continuing on our way enjoying the natural beauty of the landscapes and historical monuments such as Taourirt Kasbah in Ouarzazate and Roses Valley, which is renowned for the Festival of Roses. We also pass through the little Berber villages of 'El Kelaa des M'Gouna' and 'Boumalene Dades'. The latter is our final stop for the day. We shall stay overnight in a hotel which includes dinner and breakfast. As we will be camping the next night the hotel secures remaining luggage. Day 2 : Dades Gorge - Todra Gorge - Merzouga From Boumalene Dades we head to Merzouga in one of the largest wind blown dunes in Morrocco, Erg Chebbi. Through the Berber village Tinghir we visit Todra Gorge where the cliffs are as high as 600m and only 10m apart. We leave Todra passing through many Berber villages to pass through Tinjdad where we can stop for lunch or if you preferrable continue to Rissani where you could sample the local speciality, Berber Pizza. After lunch we make our way to Merzouga to meet the camels joining us on our trek. The camels take us to a Berber camp in the middle of an oasis amidst the sand dunes of Erg Chebbi. 20 km long and 5 km wide it is also reputed as the highest sand dunes in North Africa. It is a unique and diverse environment. The camel trek takes about 1hr 30 min from the hotel to the camp where we continue the spirit of the nomadic Berber lifestyle. There we setup 3 Berber tents with additional restaurant and kitchen with the dunes naturally providing basic facilities. The tents are well equipped and we provide mattresses, blankets, and cushions. After dinner we gather round the fire and enjoy the desert night perhaps with traditional Berber drums. Day 3 : Merzouga - Fez Before sunrise, our camel warden will wake you to ascend the dunes and find the sun emerge above the horizon. During the winter season, when the days are short, we will start the camel trek and on route pause to meet the sunrise. Arriving at the hotel we will be able to have showers and breakfast, before continuing our journey to Fez. We leave Merzouga on route to Fez, passing through many places: Arfoud, Errachidia, Ziz Valley, Meditlt, Cedar Forests of Azrou, Ifrane and Fez. On a good day you might be able to catch a glimpse of the monkeys that live in the forests. We will stop for lunch along the way in one of the many restaurants. Our guide will make sure you reach your chosen Riad or Hotel. Here we will leave at your Riad or Hotel at the end of the 4 days tour. We hope that you have enjoyed your taste of Morocco and all it has to offer and wish you well on your onward journey. Tour Provisions Air Conditioned 4x4 Driver and guide Fuel Berber tent accommodation in desert Hotel accommodation,http://www.xaluca.com/en/hotel/dades/ Dinners and breakfasts Camel rides Camel warden Sand boards Berber turbans for the desert Your Provisions Midday meals Drinks Travel insurance I will leave this trip with 270 per adult and 110 Euros for the 7 years old. Do you have any suggestion about the itinerary? Regards Youssef Thank you Youssef for such a quick respond... The cost you gave to me is per person for 3-days total, so for our group would be Euro 250 x3 + 100 =850. if we leave on the 24th from Marrakesh, we will be back to Marrakesh on the evening of 26th... can you tell me how late in the evening of 26th? we fly out of Casablanca on 28th, so I also wondering if the tour can get us to Fez on 26th the we go to Casablanca in the night of 27th or morning of 28th? thank you for the information... also if you have the tour for us, how can we reserve it? Look forward to hear form you!
