Hello,
More of my philosophy about how to solve the problem of tribalism and more..
I am a white arab from Morocco, and i think i am smart since i have also invented many scalable algorithms and algorithms..
I think we can solve the problem of tribalism by the way of knowing
how to be the right "compromise", and we can be the right compromise
by knowing how to avoid extremism that hurts, for example
i have just made a logical analogy between software projects
and Democracy and notice how i am talking about Democracy in it, here it is:
More of philosophy about Democracy and the Evolutionary Design methodology..
I will make a logical analogy between software projects and Democracy,
first i will say that because of the today big complexity of software projects, so the "requirements" of those complex software projects are
not clear and a lot could change in them, so this is
why we are using an Evolutionary Design methodology with different tools such as Unit Testing, Test Driven Development, Design Patterns,
Continuous Integration, Domain Driven Design, but we have to notice carefully that an important thing in Evolutionary Design methodology is
that when those complex software projects grow, we have first to
normalize there growth by ensuring that the complex software projects
grow "nicely" and "balanced" by using standards, and second we have to optimize growth of the complex software projects by balancing between
the criteria of the easy to change the complex software projects and the performance of the complex software projects, and third you have to
maximize the growth of the complex software projects by making the most
out of each optimization, and i think that by logical analogy we can
notice that in Democracy we have also to normalize the growth by not allowing "extremism" or extremist ideologies that hurt Democracy, and we have also to optimize Democracy by for example well balancing between "performance" of the society and in the Democracy and the "reliability"
of helping others like the weakest members of the society among the
people that of course respect the laws, and so that to understand more
my thoughts of my philosophy about Democracy, i invite you to read them here:

And read also my following thoughts about morality etc.:

More of my philosophy about the limit of the connectionist models in artificial intelligence and more..reasoning.
I think i am smart and i will say that the connectionist model like
of deep learning has not the same nature as of the human brain, since
i can say that the brain is not just connections of neurons like
in deep learning, but it is also a "sense" like the sense of touch,
and i think that this sense of the brain is biologic,
and i think that this kind of nature of the brain of being
also a sense is giving the emergence of consciousness and self-awareness and a higher level of common sense reasoning, this
is why i think that the connectionist model in artifical intelligence is showing its limits by not being able to make emerge common sense reasoning, but as i said below that the hybrid connectionist + symbolic model can make emerge common sense
And here is what i said about human self-awareness and awareness:this kind of reification with the human senses is an emergence that comes from the human biology, so i am smart and i will say that the brain is a kind of calculator that calculates by using composability with the meanings that come also from this kind
So i will start by asking a philosophical question of:
Is human self-awareness and awareness an emergence and what is it ?
So i will explain my findings:
I think i have found the first smart pattern with my fluid intelligence and i found also the rest and it is the following:
Notice that when you touch a cold water you will know about the essence
or nature of the cold water and you will also know that it is related
to senses of humans, so i think that the senses of a human give life
to ideas, it is like a "reification" of an idea, i mean that an idea
is alive since it is like reified with the senses of humans that senses time and space and matter, so this reification gives the correct meaning since you are like reifying with the human senses that gives the meaning, and i say that this capacity of
this kind of reification with the human senses that render the brain much more optimal than artificial intelligence, and i will explain moreMegatron-LM models, MT-NLP contains 530 billion parameters and achieves “unmatched” accuracy in a broad set of natural language tasks, Microsoft and Nvidia say — including reading comprehension, commonsense reasoning, and natural language
the why of it in my next posts.
More of my philosophy about the future of artificial intelligence and more..
I will ask a philosophical question of:
Can we forecast the future of artificial intelligence ?
I think i am smart, and i am quickly noticing that connectionism in artificial intelligence like with deep learning is not working because it is not able to make emerge common sense reasoning, so i invite you to
read the following article from ScienceDaily so that to notice it, since it is speaking about the connectionist models(like the ones of deep learning or the transformers that are a kind of deep learning) in artificial intelligence:
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/11/201118141702.htm
Other than that the new following artificial intelligence connectionist models like from Microsoft and NVIDIA that are better than GPT-3
has the same weakness , since i think that they can not make emerge
common sense reasoning, here they are:
"Microsoft and Nvidia today announced that they trained what they claim is the largest and most capable AI-powered language model to date: Megatron-Turing Natural Language Generation (MT-NLP). The successor to the companies’ Turing NLG 17B and

https://venturebeat.com/2021/10/11/microsoft-and-nvidia-team-up-to-train-one-of-the-worlds-largest-language-models/
Because i also said the following:
I think i am quickly understanding the defects of Megatron-Turing Natural Language Generation (MT-NLP) that is better than GPT-3, and it is that "self-attention" of the transformers in NLP, even if they scale to very long sequences, they have a limited
Read the following paper so that to understand the mathematical proof of it:that talks about it and that makes you understand that automation also has advantages:
https://aclanthology.org/2020.tacl-1.11.pdf
So i think that the model that will have much more success to or can make emerge common sense reasoning is like the following hybrid model in
artificial intelligence of connectionism + symbolism that we call COMET, read about it here:
Common Sense Comes Closer to Computers
https://www.quantamagazine.org/common-sense-comes-to-computers-20200430/
And here is what i also said about COMET:
I have just read the following article about neuroevolution
that is a meta-algorithm in artificial intelligence, an algorithm for designing algorithms, i invite you to read about it here:
https://www.quantamagazine.org/computers-evolve-a-new-path-toward-human-intelligence-20191106/
So notice that it says the following
"In neuroevolution, you start by assigning random values to the weights between layers. This randomness means the network won’t be very good at its job. But from this sorry state, you then create a set of random mutations — offspring neural networks with slightly different weights — and evaluate their abilities. You keep the best ones, produce more offspring, and repeat."
So i think that the problem with neuroevolution above is that the
"evaluate the abilities of the offspring neural networks" lacks common sense.
So read the following interesting article that says that artificial intelligence has also brought a kind of common sense to Computers, and
read about it here:
https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.05317
And read about it in the following article:
"Now, Choi and her collaborators have united these approaches. COMET
(short for “commonsense transformers”) extends GOFAI-style symbolic reasoning with the latest advances in neural language modeling — a kind
of deep learning that aims to imbue computers with a statistical “understanding” of written language. COMET works by reimagining common-sense reasoning as a process of generating plausible (if
imperfect) responses to novel input, rather than making airtight
deductions by consulting a vast encyclopedia-like database."

So as you are noticing that the model that will cause problems by bringing advanced automation that will cause too many jobs losses is
the hybrid connectionist + symbolic artificial intelligence model,
so we have to think about giving a Universal Basic Income (UBI) so
that to solve this problem, so you can look at the following video about this problem of advanced automation with artifical intelligence:
Universal Basic Income (UBI) - Life After Automation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQjrhIyaPyg
More of my philosophy about automation and globalization and Donald Trump and more..
I have just explained, read below, that Donald Trump protectionism
is not good, but i think that from year 2000 around 85% of jobs losses in the manufacturing sector in USA was caused by automation and not by China or such as were thinking it the people who elected Donald Trump, and you can look at the following video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-rd3kW7Bc8China trade war meant that US consumers paid a higher price whilst demand for Chinese workers is reduced.
Following are some of the advantages of automation:
1. Automation is the key to the shorter workweek. Automation will allow
the average number of working hours per week to continue to decline,
thereby allowing greater leisure hours and a higher quality life.
2. Automation brings safer working conditions for the worker. Since
there is less direct physical participation by the worker in the
production process, there is less chance of personal injury to the worker.
3. Automated production results in lower prices and better products. It
has been estimated that the cost to machine one unit of product by conventional general-purpose machine tools requiring human operators may
be 100 times the cost of manufacturing the same unit using automated mass-production techniques. The electronics industry offers many
examples of improvements in manufacturing technology that have
significantly reduced costs while increasing product value (e.g., colour
TV sets, stereo equipment, calculators, and computers).
4. The growth of the automation industry will itself provide employment opportunities. This has been especially true in the computer industry,
as the companies in this industry have grown (IBM, Digital Equipment
Corp., Honeywell, etc.), new jobs have been created.
These new jobs include not only workers directly employed by these companies, but also computer programmers, systems engineers, and other needed to use and operate the computers.
5. Automation is the only means of increasing standard of living. Only through productivity increases brought about by new automated methods of production, it is possible to advance standard of living. Granting wage increases without a commensurate increase in productivity
will results in inflation. To afford a better society, it is a must to increase productivity.
And i invite you to read my following thoughts about protectionism
and capitalism etc.
More of my philosophy about Trade Adjustment Assistance and globalization..
I think that protectionism is not good, and i think that Trade Adjustment Assistance etc. is a better way of solving problems, so
i invite you to read the following article to know more:

More philosophy about protectionism and USA and more..
I think we have to be careful about protectionism, since read the following:
"Protectionist policies impose an additional cost and loss on all parties. First of all, domestic consumers must pay a higher price for goods. At the same time, importers face a decline in demand, so international jobs are lost. For instance, the US-
So the Chinese unemployment increases and US consumers pay more. However, the counter-argument is that it saves US jobs and businesses. Now there is some validity to that claim. If the money sent to China doesn’t come back in either demand for USgoods, or FDI, then the argument can be validated.
However, the reality of the situation is that when a US consumer buys cheaper Chinese goods, that money goes to a Chinese exporter. That money doesn’t stay with them indefinitely. It makes its way back to the US through either demand for its goods orin FDI.
What we see as a result is that Chinese demand drives employment in other industries. So jobs that may have been lost in one industry, are being created in another. At the same time, the FDI inflows also create employment in the relevant industry.workers. However, they too are consumers and consequently lose out too.
Although there is disruption, there is a net positive gain in the long term. Employees will have to shift to new industries, but the average consumer benefits from lower prices. By contrast, the only winner under protectionism is specific domestic

In the long-run, protectionism is not good for the economy. It makes consumers and businesses pay more. And whilst it may protect jobs in the short-term, the economy as a whole would be better served in allowing cheaper imports in. Although this may

More of my philosophy about correlation and about diversity and more..are trying to measure it empirically, but i think that this kind of measuring is not a correct measuring, since what i am showing you by my way of thinking is the fact that there is a "tendency" in human diversity that it causes competition or more
I think i am smart, and i will say to look again at what is saying
the Ph.D Katherine W. Phillips that is the Paul Calello Professor of Leadership and Ethics Management at Columbia Business School(Read about her here: https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/profile/katherine_phillips):
"Large data-set studies have an obvious limitation: They only show that diversity is correlated with better performance, not that it causes better performance."
So i will say that this Ph.D and other researchers are not so smart,
since notice how is speaking the Ph.D Katherine W. Phillips in the following article:
How Diversity Makes Us Smarter
Read more here:
https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/how_diversity_makes_us_smarter
So notice that she is not saying that human diversity is a "mechanism" that can cause "competition" or more competition between people, and then competition can be the cause of better performance, so you are noticing that the above Ph.D and researchers
know about the process. So as i said, i think this Ph.D and other researchers are not thinking and abstracting correctly since from my saying below we can notice that human Diversity in a global world or in a society or in a group brings more "competition" between people, so it makes us work harder and better cognitively and socially, but if we are
not being the right human diversity and we are working harder and better cognitively and socially, then i think being human diversity can still "keep" or "maintain" the working harder and better cognitively and socially, also human diversity bringsdifferent human perspectives or views and it brings different human experiences and different human knowledges and it is good for creativity and innovation since it is also good for divergent thinking that enhance creativity and innovation.
More of my philosophy about USA and human diversity and more..thinking that enhance creativity and innovation."
I just said the following:
"I think i am understanding rapidly, since i think that human Diversity
in a global world or in a society or in a group brings more "competition" between people, so it makes us work harder and
better cognitively and socially, also human diversity brings different human perspectives or views and it brings different human experiences and different human knowledges and it is good for creativity and innovation since it is also good for divergent
So i will invite you to look at my following writing about USA that will make you notice how USA is making itself innovative and creative by bringing the "best" big brains immigrants, and notice, like in my above saying, that it is also saying thefollowing:
"But it’s not just a numbers thing. Another reason immigrants do so well in tech is that people from outside bring new perspectives that lead tothinking that enhance creativity and innovation:
new ideas."
And here is more of my new thoughts about USA, read them again carefully:

Yet more precision of my philosophy about diversity and adaptability and resilience..
I think i am understanding rapidly, since i think that human Diversity
in a global world or in a society or in a group brings more "competition" between people, so it makes us work harder and
better cognitively and socially, also human diversity brings different human perspectives or views and it brings different human experiences and different human knowledges and it is good for creativity and innovation since it is also good for divergent
And here is my new proverb that talks more about it:
"Human vitality comes from intellectual openness and intellectual
openness also comes from divergent thinking and you have to well balance divergent thinking with convergent thinking so that to converge towards
the global optimum of efficiency and not get stuck on a local optimum of efficiency, and this kind of well balancing makes the good creativity."
And i will explain more my proverb so that you understand it:
I think that divergent thinking is thought process or method used to generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions, but notice that we even need openness in a form of economic actors that share ideas across nations and industries (and this needs globalization) that make
us much more creative and that's good for economy, since you can easily notice that globalization also brings a kind of optimality to divergent thinking, and also you have to know how to balance divergent thinking
with convergent thinking, since if divergent thinking is much greater
than convergent thinking it can become costly in terms of time, and if
the convergent thinking is much greater than divergent thinking you can
get stuck on local optimum of efficiency and not converge to a global optimum of efficiency, and it is related to my following thoughts about
the philosopher and economist Adam Smith, so i invite you to read them:

I think that the above video of the song is showing how our world

I invite you to read the following about how do Governments Reduce Inflation:
https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/111314/what-methods-can-government-use-control-inflation.asp
I think that one of the best way to reduce inflation is by reducing the money supply within an economy via decreased bond prices and increased interest rates, and the above web page is speaking about it, but i think
that there is still a problem, since inflation can become problematic if
the product or service become a monopoly, so if the prices of the product or service can not be reduced by for example economies of scale or/and by "competition", so the price of the product or service can be set high and it is inflation on this

I invite you to look at step 4 of my below thoughts of software Evolutionary Design methodology with agile, here it is:
4- When in agile a team breaks a project into phases, it’s called incremental development. An incremental process is one in which
software is built and delivered in pieces. Each piece, or increment, represents a complete subset of functionality. The increment may be
either small or large, perhaps ranging from just a system’s login
screen on the small end to a highly flexible set of data management
screens. Each increment is fully coded Sprints, Planning, and Retrospectives.
And you will notice that it has to be done by "prioritizing" the pieces of the software to be delivered to the customers, and here again in agile you are noticing that we are also delivering prototypes of the software, since we often associate
More of my philosophy about the Evolutionary Design methodology and more..
Here are some important steps of software Evolutionary Design methodology:
1- Taking a little extra time during the project to write solid code and
fix problems today, they create a codebase that’s easy to maintain tomorrow.
2- And the most destructive thing you can do to your project is to build
new code, and then build more code that depends on it, and then still
more code that depends on that, leading to that painfully familiar
domino effect of cascading changes...and eventually leaving you with
an unmaintainable mess of spaghetti code. So when teams write code,
they can keep their software designs simple by creating software
designs based on small, self-contained units (like classes, modules, services, etc.) that do only one thing; this helps avoid the domino
effect.
3- Instead of creating one big design at the beginning of the project
that covers all of the requirements, agile architects use incremental design, which involves techniques that allow them to design a system
that is not just complete, but also easy for the team to modify as
the project changes.
