Bring us your hoaxers and con-artists. Bring us your religious zealots, your bible thumping radicals, your bigots and your sexually frustrated teenagers. Bring us your trolls and pseudo-scientists. We will provide a place of refuge, a place where attention will be given, a place for freedom of delusional representation. A place for all to come and ponder the existence and universal meaning of all fantasy, good and bad. A place where all people of miniscule mind can pen their thoughts, delusions, suppositions and conjecture with anonyminity and safety. Bring them to GLP, we will provide for them. We will provide the haven they so desperately seek. A soapbox for those unable to be heard above the din of reality. Truly, a god-like production." - An anonymous, Anonymous Coward |

User ID: 1022274 Brazil 07/01/2010 10:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | More effort should be catalyzed to organizing and unifying (integrating) information, not adding more and more to the bunch. Integrating information does not necessarily mean amassing text in one place. In fact, that would be a "sterile fusion" as I like to say, because the result is neither positive nor negative. True integration of information means that information is analyzed, compared, organized and stripped from redundancy. Unfortunately, all of this is only possible when there is hard intellectual labor involved. Because most of the population remains busy merely processing information, few people are left to work on integration. Professional researchers could make a difference, but the impact of their work is greatly diminished by factors such as deadlines and money. After analyzing enough information, researchers will reach any conclusion under the sun to better appease investors' interests. Much of the collected information in private research is used to back up decisions concerning a small group of people, while the information itself ends archived and never released to the public. Integrating information is also something very dependent on the discernment of the person - a keenness required to separate what is important and what is redundant. Machines can't do it and it will take some time before Artificial Intelligence can deal with the problem. Discernment should ideally come from immutable principles that the person holds as valuable. The person must be rooted on a set of principles so valuable to him/her that he/she applies them without hesitation. Without well-established principles, the person will simply take the information that appeases him/her better due to mundane and temporary factors. Additionally, when integration is done by many people, they all must be in agreement with the same principles. Integration of information requires that one takes fragmented information and organizes it in a structure that can help us with locating and retrieving it more efficiently. This in turn will facilitate the recognition of similar ideas that can be grouped together so that their associations stand out more clearly. If fragmented information carries any knowledge at all, it is certainly complex and understood only by a few, because the more fragmented information is, the less likely that the whole picture becomes common knowledge. But with the help of a well-defined structure backing up the association of ideas, an orderly body of knowledge may arise. A structure of knowledge that is easy to manage and understand is more than half-way along the road leading to fully integrated information. Analysis of highly organized structures of knowledge invariably leads one to start noticing what kind of knowledge is fundamental and what is derived. Many times, a piece of information will only make sense when it is seen from a certain perspective from a point of reference, which is something that can only be explained if we consider that the analyzed structure is hierarchical. In fact, all knowledge coming from natural systems seems to revolve around natural laws and many natural laws behave as expressions of unified laws. Anyway, what any field of knowledge truly does is integrate information around a single point of reference. A point of reference is some kind of profound knowledge that justifies the very existence of all secondary knowledge around it. It is an self-sufficient idea that can generate other ideas. When analyzing integrated information, a person is able to see concepts in a variety of ways or perspectives, and thus associate a greater number of ideas in his/her mind. A great part of the effort in defining systems of classification (taxonomy) lies in integrating information. A great part of the effort in identifying facts that otherwise would be hidden lies in integrating information. We can only conclude that integration is the solution for all the problems dealing with information. The quality of information has been sacrificed for quantity. Instead of adding to this mess, people should try to condense information until there is only a small subset of all information that is worth knowing. "But what about the variety?" you might ask. Well, the "variety" that we have today is due to the facility of producing information with less than optimal quality. People take pride in saying that we have grown to a point where complete coverage of all available information by one individual is practically impossible. This is certainly true, but only because there are too many opinions and very few solutions. One must be firmly rooted on a set of principles when producing information, otherwise one will just create more opinionated waste. No wonder the cyberspace has been turned into a wasteland. Discussion forums have become places for people to ramble, fight or, at best, produce more divergent opinions. Many posters put their beliefs and opinions above proper scientific analysis. Actual research papers are seldom discussed due to their length and complexity coupled with the limited attention of the average reader. A simple "hurried scan" and everything is buried under one's preconceived notions. Who are we tricking, if not ourselves?

User ID: 1021423 United States 07/02/2010 12:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Cheers to us, GLP!!!! Quoting: bobbyzI was just thinking of how GLP's massive knowledge base is a very valuable resource. It's pure gold. Think about it... we know more about more weird shit than anyone. But we know real tangible stuff too! We have the archives, which are like our papers. And then there is the knowledge in the brains of all of us that is not written down. There is so much knowledge to offer, that we could not possibly share it all. So if one needs something here, one must ask for it. Because the people that know what you need to know are busy people, and they will need to see your request for knowledge. Once they see your request, they will then tap into their personal archive and add to GLP's archive. Knowledge transfer and documentation. While each one of us is not an expert in everything, collectively, we are practically omniscient. Don't take this for granted, and don't forget to take advantage of it. GLP is here to serve you, and they do a damn fine job of it. GLP, you are a government who actually serve your people. That is why so many love this place. We can't find that feeling in reality. For in reality, the people are the last thing considered when decisions are made. Thank you GLP. I'm going outside to have a pint and enjoy this beautiful day. Don't forget to add to our community's knowledge base! We want the rarest and the best here! |
