Hello...
More of my philosophy about the way of tribalism...
I am a white arab from Morocco, and i think i am smart since i have also invented many scalable algorithms and algorithms..
I invite you to look at the following song in the following video of
Michael Jackson:
Michael Jackson - Don’t Stop 'Til You Get Enough (Official Video)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yURRmWtbTbo&list=RDGMEMQ1dJ7wXfLlqCjwV0xfSNbAVMyURRmWtbTbo&start_radio=1
Look carefully at how the above black american in the above video that
we call Michael Jackson is behaving with inferiority and talking with inferiority, and he is like saying to us that he is more sexually viril,
and this is inferior behaving, and this way of doing causes tribalism
between people, so we have to be careful since the way of transcending tribalism is also to transcend tribalism by being sophisticated thinking
and sophisticated behaving.
More precision about more of my philosophy about Maghrebins and black
africans of France etc. 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 invite you to look at the following interesting video about
maghrebins and black africans in France:
Les arabes et les noirs: se considèrent-ils réellement comme des frères ?!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU9We9pN-SQ
So as you are noticing that in the above video the black africans and maghrebins are talking with an inferior tribalistic mentality, since i
think that those black africans and maghrebins are not understanding
that we have to transcend "tribalism" by being much more sophisticated
thinking and much more sophisticated behaving, as i am doing it here by
talking as i am talking with sophistication about my philosophy and
politics etc., and i think that black americans too have the same
inferior tribalistic mentality. And i think that this way of being
tribalistic is an inferior thinking and an inferior behaving. So i
invite you to read my following thoughts so that to know much better
about me, and you have to know that i am thinking quickly and writing
quickly my following thoughts with such sophistication, and my
personality looks like my following thoughts, and this of course shows
my kind of personality and my way of doing and my way of behaving:
More of my philosophy about the limit of the connectionist models in
artificial intelligence 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 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 reasoning.
And here is what i said about human self-awareness and awareness:
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 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 of reification with the human senses, and i think that
self-awareness comes from the human senses that senses our ideas of our thinking, and it is what gives consciousness and self-awareness, so now
you are understanding that what is missing in artificial intelligence is
this kind of reification with the human senses that render the brain
much more optimal than artificial intelligence, and i will explain more
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 Megatron-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 inferences."
Read more here:
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 expressiveness, as they
cannot process input sequentially they can not model hierarchical
structures and recursion, and hierarchical structure is widely thought
to be essential to modeling natural language, in particular its syntax,
so i think that Microsoft Megatron-Turing Natural Language Generation
(MT-NLP) and GPT-3 too will be practically applied to limited areas, but
they can not make emerge common sense reasoning or the like that are
necessary for general artificial intelligence.
Read the following paper so that to understand the mathematical proof of it:
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 that talks about it and that
makes you understand that automation also has advantages:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-rd3kW7Bc8
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:
https://theconversation.com/international-trade-has-cost-americans-millions-of-jobs-investing-in-communities-might-offset-those-losses-143406
And read more here about Trade Adjustment Assistance:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_Adjustment_Assistance
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-China trade war meant
that US consumers paid a higher price whilst demand for Chinese workers
is reduced.
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 US goods, 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 or in 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.
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 workers. However, they too are
consumers and consequently lose out too.
Is Protectionism Good For The Economy?
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 temporarily destroy some jobs,
consumers benefit from lower prices. In turn, the income that would have
been spent on the goods before can now be spent in other markets. In
turn, employment is stimulated elsewhere in the economy."

More of my philosophy about closed systems and open systems and
interdependent systems..
I think i am smart, and i will say that we have to have the right spirit
so that to be efficient, and i think that the basis of the right spirit
is also to look at how we are interdependent systems of different
countries etc., so i think that the best way is to know how to be like
the right randomness of the evolutionary algorithms that permits to not
get stuck in a local optimum and be able to ensure the convergence to a
global optimum, i mean that the best way is also to know how to well
balance between cooperation and competition, since so that to not get
stuck in a local optimum of efficiency we have also to know how to buy
products and services from the other countries so that also to encourage creativity and innovation, since if you are too much competition you can "monopolize" too much and this can hurt creativity and innovation, so
then we have to become a much more efficient and civilized world. And I
think that Nazism or neo-nazism or white supremacism or communism are
also too rigid, so they don't work correctly, since they also have the
strong tendency to want to like too much homogenize and to too much
monopolize and too much centralize, so they are not efficient systems.
More of my philosophy about correlation and about diversity and 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 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 competition, so it causes better performance, so then we can
notice that by not following there way of empirical measuring we can still
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 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 thinking that enhance creativity and innovation.
More of my philosophy about USA and human diversity and more..
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 thinking that enhance
creativity and innovation."
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 the following:
"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 to
new ideas."
And here is more of my new thoughts about USA, read them again carefully:
https://groups.google.com/g/alt.culture.morocco/c/kIbGEdTXezQ
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 thinking that enhance
creativity and innovation:
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:
https://groups.google.com/g/alt.culture.morocco/c/ftf3lx5Rzxo
More of my philosophy about life and about evolutionary algorithms..
I invite you to listen to the following beautiful song of Simon &
Garfunkel called called April Come She Will:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J1tCJEYETk
I think that the above video of the song is showing how our world
is "diversified" and it is good for adaptation and resilience, and it is
the most important thing, and this diversification is also very
important even in economy, since i think it is like evolutionary
algorithms in artificial intelligence, since they are based on the same
very important idea of diversifying by also decentralizing by
efficiently specializing the members of the population so that to make
it efficiently "adaptable" and much more "resilient", and the
efficiently specializing can be efficiently specializing in a much
higher level layer, like being a "generalist" medical doctor, and from
the this decentralizing and efficiently specializing emerges a higher
level intelligence such as a civilization, so then even evolutionary
design methodology that i am talking about in my thoughts below does decentralize from the agile architect to the other members of the team,
and here is step 3 of the important steps of evolutionary design
methodology of agile that i am talking about below:
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.
And here is my thoughts about artificial intelligence and evolutionary algorithms in artificial intelligence:
https://groups.google.com/g/alt.culture.morocco/c/P9OTDTiCZ44
More of my philosophy about economic diversification in Africa and Arab countries..
As you will read in the following paper that economic diversification is
good for growth and economic diversification is also tremendously
important for "resilience", so i think that the country that we call
Algeria has a big problem since it lacks too and too much on
diversification of its economy, so i think that Algeria will get easily
into big problems of violence and disorder, but Morocco and Dubai are
much more diversified economies and i think that Morocco is on the right
path, so i think that the problem of many African countries is that they
have to become diversified economies.
Read the following paper so that to notice how important is
diversification of economy:
Economic Diversification in Africa: How and Why It Matters
https://carnegieendowment.org/2021/04/30/economic-diversification-in-africa-how-and-why-it-matters-pub-84429
More of my philosophy about economy and about Morocco and Algeria and more..
So as you are noticing i was speaking, read below, about Algeria,
and you have quickly noticed that the Algerian economic problem comes
from the fact that Algeria is a much less diversified economy than Dubai
or than my country Morocco, so i think that Morocco is a much more
diversified economy and i think that Morocco is really on the
right path and Morocco is also a beautiful country, since read in the
following article of year 2019, it says that the 2019 International
Franchise Attractiveness Index ranked Morocco 39 out of 131 states. This
made it the number 1 attractive business hub for US-based franchises in
Africa and the second in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) after
the United Arab Emirates. This ranking shows it competing with some
leading international powers, including France, Spain, Germany and
Australia, according to a report by Morocco World News. The index
combines peer-reviewed research and a survey of franchise executives to
produce two rankings, balanced growth and aggressive growth.

More of my philosophy about economy and inflation and more..
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 product or service, so this kind of situation can also lead to an economic war, also inflation still can
become a problem like with the drastic fall of the algerian Dinar in
Algeria, since Algeria is lacking on diversification of its economy and
also was unable to reduce its reliance on food imports, since 70% of the Algeria food requirements are met by imports, so with the drastic fall
of the algerian Dinar, the price of Food in Algeria was getting high,
and the people of Algeria were suffering because of that, and this
situation can still repeat itself again and again in Algeria.
Read about it here:

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 prototypes with nearly completed or just-before launch versions of products. However, designers create
prototypes at all phases of the design process at various resolutions.
In engineering, students are taught to and practitioners think deeply
before setting out to build. However, as the product or system becomes increasingly complex, it becomes increasingly difficult to consider all
factors while designing. Facing this reality, designers are no longer
just "thinking to build" but also "building to think." By getting hands
on and trying to create prototypes, unforeseen issues are highlighted
early, saving costs related with late stage design changes. This rapid iterative cycle of thinking and building is what allows designers to
learn rapidly from doing. Creating interfaces often benefit from the
"build to think" approach. For example, in trying to layout the
automotive cockpit, one can simply list all the features, buttons, and
knobs that must be incorporated. However, by prototyping the cabin does
one really start to think about how the layout should be to the driver
in order to avoid confusion while maximizing comfort. This then allows
the designer iterate on their initial concept to develop something that
is more intuitive and refined. Also prototypes and there demonstrations
are designed to get potential customers interested and excited.
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.
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.
5- And an iterative process in agile is one that makes progress through
successive refinement. A development team takes a first cut
at a system, knowing it is incomplete or weak in some (perhaps many)
areas. They then iteratively refine those areas until the product is
satisfactory. With each iteration the software is improved through
the addition of greater detail.
More of philosophy about Democracy and the Evolutionary Design methodology..
I will make a logical analogy between software projects and Democracy,
