I have a several miles/kilometers long list of "need to" smile emoticon I'm saving it for when I need a brain-boost. It's hard to explain... hmm. let's see... I've been on a mostly TV-free diet for a few years. It happened about 1/3 into this video [1]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y43qwS8fl4 on May 11, 2013. I was so inspired when I realized that I had a LOT OF GAPS in my knowledge about big data, sparse data sets, columnar databases, the 6 cell layer of "human" that is icing on our animal-brain cakes... that I ditched the Science channel, Sci-Fi network and the TV in my room got a layer of dust on it. [I'd dust it off for Doctor Who ... and watch 'fluff' shows like mysteries or Bravo gossip oddness with others in the house on other TVs but nothing that could get me sucked in] I was, and am, determined to "understand it all" and it took me 1 yr and 9 days of study before I knew enough to finish the video, and I did. I've continued the same approach as I progressed beyond automated AI as they exist at present and near-future tech. Yet ,this post-dates Farscape by 14 years. Timey-Wimey stuff. In March, 1999 when Farscape premiered, I was heavily into the Orthodox Church, trying to absorb nearly 2000 years of a history and peoples and concepts that into my little brain and I discovered something I found to be useful. I wrote myself a little note around this time in 1999 in one of my little 3x5 notepads: "Remember: Small Bites, Chew Thoroughly." So, just as it took me a year and nine days to learn enough in my spare to time to feel as if *I* could give the same speech that Jeff Hawkins did: and knew enough that I could debate him on prickly issues enough to finish that video... in 1999 I was so absorbed in my Orthodox project that absorbing the philosophy and alternate reality of the Farscape universe at the same time would've been handing me a desert when I was still chewing the main meal on my plate. So, I'm saving these things for later :) + Now that I've written all of that, I think I can see the connection better: [I have to unfurl before I can recompress the data]: I thoroughly explore alternate Universes, whether a religious universe, the universe of cognitive science, the universe of a TV show, etc. I get *really* into a universe when I explore it smile emoticon = References Visible links 1. https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D4y43qwS8fl4&h=ZAQGECUHD
