Paul Ebreo https://www.chipy.org/meetings/250/ This talk explores a new framework for building Artificial Intelligence (AI) inspired by the human brain and leveraging the power of Python. We'll delve into the concept of consciousness as a combination of memory, prediction, and experience. By using hierarchical probabilities, similar to Google's PageRank algorithm, we can build AI systems that are not only powerful but also understandable and aligned with human values. Python will be our toolset as we explore the exciting future of AI development. https://www.chipy.org Chicago Python User Group known as ChiPy was founded in 2003.

The Realist Guide to religion and Science by Father Paul Robinson, Priest, professor and Author. www.therealistguide.com The book is a philosophical approach to religion and science. it was written by Fr Paul Robinson and published by Gracewing, a Catholic publisher in the UK. Fr Paul Robinson is from Kentucky, USA. He received a Master’s degree in Engineering Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Louisville. After 2 years in the field, he entered a Catholic seminary to discern his vocation. Since his ordination in 2006, he has been teaching Thomistic philosophy and theology, mainly in Australia. The book takes a thesis of the late, great Fr Stanley Jaki, and tries to provide it a philosophical foundation. His idea was that epistemological realism is a necessary mental precondition for anyone wanting to do science or religion reasonably. Fr Jaki buttressed his argument with many historical examples in his Gifford Lectures, but oftentimes his points are lost in his elevated and complex style. Moreover, he wrote more as an historian than a philosopher, yet his thesis is essentially philosophical. Fr Robinson attempts to deepen Fr Jaki’s idea and also make it much more approachable. Using stories, tables, charts, images and a special meter, the book argues that epistemological realism is absolutely necessary to broker any peaceful co-existence of religion and science. The reason is that only realism is reasonable. And disagreements come when people are unreasonable. To be more specific, people and cultures of religion or science become unreasonable and come into conflict when they adopt non-realist worldviews. Typically, religions have tended toward an idealism that devalues the material world and the empirical data that it provides, trumping that data by some a priori construct deriving from a false notion of God or a literalist reading of a sacred text. Typically, scientists have tended toward an empiricism that denies the existence or at least the intellectual worth of what is beyond the senses, thereby relegating religion to the realms of illusion or uselessness. If believers and scientists are realist, these unfortunate conflicts do not happen. On the contrary, by definition, they cannot happen. The book is broken up into three sections, the first considering realist principles and the realist view of reality, the second considering religions going wrong without realism, and the third considering science going wrong without realism. In the second section, Fr Robinson shows how the realist worldview harmonises seamlessly with the Catholic worldview. This is true to such an extent that Catholicism perfected realism as a philosophical system and, as a result, was able to give birth to modern science, in the Middle Ages. In the third section, he shows how modern science has deviated from realism, giving rise to the "empiricist" worldview. These new atheists are militant in style, and they dominate media and intellectual powerhouses. They mock believers, particularly Christians and have successfully built the perception that Christians are irrational and ignorant. The militant atheists have convinced many that religion and science conflict. This propaganda has been successful in turning people away from the faith, by making them think that they have to abandon reason if they embrace religion. This book equips Catholics with the truth and debunks the myths propagated by the atheists. Fr Robinson dissects atheist theories, which sound convincing on a superficial level. Through a realistic viewpoint Fr Robinson explains how these theories are irrational. Fr Paul Haffner, President of the Stanley Jaki Foundation and seminary professor in Rome for over 30 years, states in the foreword to the book: “Christian tradition has always held that man is truly capable of understanding creation and gradually uncovering its meaning within a realist perspective”. The Realist Guide to Religion and Science is a fantastic read, both thoughtful in its approach and of a style to appeal to a wide audience. The book is contemporary, as it tackles issues from creationist theories to Darwinism. It also analyses famous atheists such as Lawrence Krauss and Richard Dawkins. The book was published by a mainstream catholic publisher and endorsed by a Vatican foundation. The book is an essential handbook for all Catholics, to deepen their knowledge of the truth about the close relationship between religion and science, which can only be achieved through a realistic catholic perspective. In the culture of identity politics that have hijacked the argument that religion is opposed to science, this book proves them wrong.

Friends, today on the “Word on Fire Show,” we continue our series of discussions called “Understanding the Present Moment.” Brandon Vogt and I are examining four massively influential figures who together help explain our present moment, how we arrived at where we are today. The ideologies undergirding much of the unrest in our culture stem from these four thinkers: Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Michel Foucault. Once we understand these figures and their key ideas, we will recognize them everywhere and be prepared to engage today’s challenges. In today’s second discussion, we focus on Jean-Paul Sartre. A listener asks, how does someone be selfless and yet love himself? NOTE: Do you like this podcast? Become a patron and get some great perks for helping, like free books, bonus content, and more.

"The Realist Guide to Religion and Science" by Father Paul Robinson. Epistemologies are theories about human knowledge. But humans have two main sources of knowledge: their mind and their body. Therefore, I would argue that we can divide epistemologies according to whether someone accepts the knowledge of the mind, that of the body, or both. Body knowledge is knowledge that comes through the senses. It is the knowledge that humans share with animals. If someone accepts body knowledge, but rejects mind knowledge, he is embracing the epistemology of empiricism. This is the idea that only what can be seen, tasted, smelled, touched or tasted is real. Empiricists typically reduce all knowledge to body knowledge, because they believe that bodies are all that exist. Everything is matter, end of story. Mind knowledge is knowledge that comes from the concepts that humans form in their intellects. If someone accepts mind knowledge but rejects body knowledge, he is embracing the epistemology of idealism. This is the idea that concepts alone tell us about reality. Sense data, since it is constantly changing, does not provide any real truth. Because the sense world is the source of illusion for idealists, they tend to hold that only the immaterial world exists. The third and final epistemology is realism, which holds that both body knowledge and mind knowledge provide a human true knowledge, that is, true information about reality. The realist would argue that humans cannot function in daily life without accepting both their sense data and their concepts as being true of reality. Take a cup of coffee. The empiricist can smell it and taste it, but cannot trust that it corresponds to the concept of ‘coffee’, and so has no conscious reason for drinking it. The idealist might believe that coffee exists in general, because he has a beautiful concept of coffee, but he could not trust his senses telling him that the liquid in front of him realizes that concept, and so would also not have any reason for drinking it. Since life for many, including myself, simply would not be possible without a cup of joe in the morning, we can easily see how empiricism and idealism are a threat to one’s very existence. These three epistemologies—accepting only sense data, accepting only mental concepts, and accepting both—are arguably the only three possible. It is certainly true that there are degrees of empiricism, idealism, and realism, but outside of permutations of these three, there is only a rejection of all knowledge. And that hardly deserves the name of an epistemology." Father Paul Robinson, Priest, Professor and Author www.therealistguide.com

http://www.house.gov/paul http://CampaignForLiberty.com Things seem to be unraveling quickly for the new administration. The latest unemployment numbers are worse than the last reports. For all the billions of dollars spent and committed to fixing our economic problems, the situation is only getting worse. This was to be expected by those who understand the root causes of the problems. Throwing money around and creating more government programs is both simplistic and damaging to the economy. Of course, the administration claims that we would have been much worse off without these efforts. You cant improve this situation by adding to our mountain of public debt for the benefit of big banks and other special interests. The American people know this. When will Washington learn? In addition, the presidents plans for healthcare reform or health insurance reform - are becoming more and more unpopular as details are examined. But because of all the alarmist rhetoric, politicians in Washington feel obligated to pass something, even if it doesnt help. Rarely are liberty and prosperity at greater risk than when politicians feel they must do something. It is frightening to watch Washington toy with our healthcare purely for political reasons. However, the saddest shortcoming of this administration is its utter failure to pursue a more peaceful foreign policy. Just last week up to 90 people, apparently mostly civilians, were killed in Afghanistan in an airstrike, and the violence is only getting worse. The administration is mulling over how many more troops they will send as part of their Afghan Surge with advisors getting it exactly backwards. They qualify sending fewer troops as high-risk and sending more troops as low-risk. This is not the perception at all if you were to ask the families of those being sent over. The best answer would be to stop risking any of our troops for the sake of what is, for all intents and purposes, a violent occupation, helping no one. But all of these problems and their wrong-headed solutions come from one greater problem - which is not understanding the reasons that we are here. The economy is in bad shape because of too much government intervention producing a myriad of unintended consequences and perverse incentives. Healthcare is broken because the doctor-patient relationship has been broken down by hyper regulation and too much government interference. Afghanistan is a mess because they ignored the mission approved by Congress - to seek out those who attacked us on 9/11. They have instead gotten sidetracked with nebulous interventionist tasks such as promoting democracy and nation building. Eight years later, there is no real progress. The Soviets bankrupted themselves fighting in the mountains and caves of Afghanistan and were about to do the same. If we would just look to history it would be self-evident that there is nothing left to win in Afghanistan, and everything to lose. Most of all, we need to understand that we dont understand Afghan culture and politics, and for that reason alone, intervening in their affairs is unlikely to produce positive results. The best thing we could possibly do now is to bring our troops home, from Afghanistan, from Iraq, from Japan, from Germany, from all occupied countries, and concentrate on mending badly damaged relationships around the world. Free and honest trade has always been the best way to do that, without fail. Not understanding the benefits of peace, freedom, and nonintervention will always bring about catastrophe.

This is a report of a 6-month study of race relations in three public schools in the Saint Paul (Minnesota) metropolitan area. The study is intended to be the first phase of an attempt to improve intergroup relations and the social climate in Saint Paul, Roseville, and South St. Paul schools. Based on 154 interviews, 10 focus groups, and a written questionnaire completed by 1,576 students and 591 teachers, the study provides a composite portrait of intergroup relations and related issues in the 3 school districts. It cites program areas that should be developed as the beginning of a broad strategy to build more effective school communities. Teachers and students indicate that the schools are marked by deteriorating race relations, with high rates of racial harassment (54 percent of students complain), and only a tenuous peace. Students are divided along race and class lines, and feel little sense of community. Recommendations for a new broad strategy call for better leadership, mobilization of school and community leaders, and development of program models that are presently effective on a smaller scale. Five graphs present study findings. Both student and teacher questionnaires are attached. (SLD)

1Winesburg, Ohio

By Sherwood Anderson

Published in 1919, and listed on the Modern Library roster of the 20th century's 100 greatest novels in English, Winesburg, Ohio presents a series of loosely related character studies of the inhabitants of a fictional Midwestern town that together form a novel of unusual unity and vision. The inarticulate and lonely citizens of Winesburg, each with his or her own secret tale to tell, frequently relate those tales to, or through their interactions with, the character of George Willard, a young Winesburg citizen on the cusp of manhood with dreams of becoming a writer. Thus Winesburg tells the story of the townspeople's loneliness and alienation in parallel with the tale of George's own coming of age. The citizens of Winesburg are described obliquely as "grotesques," but as the introductory chapter makes clear, "The grotesques were not all horrible. Some were amusing, some almost beautiful . . ." (Description by Stewart Wills)

2Seven O'Clock Stories

By Robert Gordon Anderson

"Not once upon a time but just now, in a white house by the side of a road, live three happy children. Their mother and father gave them very odd names, for two old uncles and one aunt, which pleased the old people very much. Their names are all written in the big family Bible,--Jehosophat Green, Marmaduke Green, and Hepzebiah Green." So begins this collection of bedtime stories for children, one each night for twenty days, involving these three happy children and their playmates. (Summary by P. Cunningham)

3Security

By Poul William Anderson

“Security” tells the story of a compartmentalized government physicist ordered by secret police to complete experiments aimed at developing a new weapon. He is brought to a hidden space station and put in charge of the project but there are many questions. In a world of spies watching spies it’s sometimes hard to know what’s patriotic. -- Poul Anderson was a Golden Age Science Fiction and Fantasy author. “Security” first appeared in the magazine “Space Science Fiction” in February of 1953 (Summary by Gregg Margarite)

4Chapter Ends

By Poul William Anderson

Far, far in the future the Earth is still spinning around the Sun, on the edge of the galaxy, dozing in obscurity, forgotten by it's trillions of progeny and completely irrelevant. But this doesn't matter to the few millions who still live there in simplicity and quiet happiness. But then interstellar politics dictates that they must all leave Earth because ... well, listen to the story as told by the great Poul Anderson as he explores what the Earth means to humans and to one man in particular.

5Spell of the Hawaiian Islands and the Philippines

By Isabel Anderson

Isabel Anderson has written a most interesting travelogue of Hawaii and The Philippines. Actually it is more of a history lesson. Anyone with any interest whatsoever in the South Pacific will find this book very interesting indeed, to note all that has changed since Mrs. Anderson had traveled there. (Summary by William Tomcho)

Eamont was an opium clipper built in Cowes. It was the subject of an 1891 book, A cruise in an opium clipper, by Captain Lindsay Anderson. Eamont was involved in the opening of Japan to foreigners in 1858, serving as a dispatch boat between Nagasaki and Shanghai, and was one of the first vessels to open up a trade with Formosa…. The Eamont was sent on some very dangerous trips. She was one of the first vessels to open up a trade with Formosa, and made the first survey of the port of Taku, which she entered by bumping over the reef in spite of a tremendous surf beating upon it at the time, a most daring performance. And in her efforts to trade with the Formosans she had to withstand the attack of hundreds of armed natives right on top of a typhoon, which she succeeded in riding out on her moorings. But the captain of the Eamont was a famous fighting man, as the Chinese pirates knew to their cost…. The Eamont was also employed in the negotiations for the first commercial treaty with Japan. (See Wikipedia article on Eamont (schooner)) - Summary by Wikipedia and david wales

Anderson served as third officer aboard the Eamont. Eamont was an opium clipper built in Cowes. Eamont was involved in the opening of Japan to foreigners in 1858, serving as a dispatch boat between Nagasaki and Shanghai, and was one of the first vessels to open up a trade with Formosa. The Eamont was employed in the negotiations for the first commercial treaty with Japan. On this occasion she ran into Nagasaki and quietly dropped anchor, in spite of the fact that opposition to the proposed commercial treaty was very strong at the time. On the following morning 150 boat-loads of Japanese attempted to tow her to sea, being evidently ignorant of an anchor's raison d'etre. But though they attempted several similar methods to get rid of her they refrained from any armed attack, and, eventually, her mission was completely successful. This was in 1858, and the Eamont's crew saw many wonderful sights in that tierra incognita. The September Typhoon of 1858 destroyed several well-known opium clippers at Double Island, including the Anonyma, Gazelle, Pantaloon, and Mazeppa. Eamont was anchored off Double Island, with "150 fathoms of chain out and a second anchor backed on it at 60 fathoms." The waves in the anchorage were estimated to be as large as 40 feet, and the Eamont’s crew had to cut away her masts. Eamont was one of only two ships in that anchorage to survive the night, the other being the Hazard. (See Wikipedia article on Eamont (schooner)) (Wikipedia and david wales)

A Voice from Harper's Ferry is the abolitionist testament of Osborne Perry Anderson, the only surviving black participant in the 1859 raid on Harpers Ferry organized by John Brown. The book details the motivations and preparations for the raid, the events that unfolded over several days in October 1859, and Anderson's subsequent escape. It ends with a short selection of poems from various sources honoring Brown and the movement for abolition. (summary by JR Martin)

9Sentiment, Inc.

By Poul William Anderson

The way we feel about another person, or about objects, is often bound up in associations that have no direct connection with the person or object at all. Often, what we call a "change of heart" comes about sheerly from a change in the many associations which make up our present viewpoint. Now, suppose that these associations could be altered artificially, at the option of the person who was in charge of the process.... (from the Blurb)

“The Triumph of the Egg” is a collection of stories and poems by Sherwood Anderson. Abandoning the interconnected quality of his more famous “Winesburg, Ohio,” the author adopts a variety of perspectives and settings while exploring similar themes: personal growth, disillusionment, loneliness, and urban-rural contrast. In the North American Review, critic Lawrence Gilman wrote, “Mr. Anderson has achieved a beauty that irradiates his page.” Though largely overshadowed by that celebrated, earlier book, “The Triumph of the Egg” remains a foundational work for Modernist literature, proven by its winning the first annual Dial Award from the influential journal The Dial.<br /><br /> NOTE TO LISTENERS: The second story in this collection, “I Want to Know Why,” contains language that may be offensive.<br /> (summary by Ben Adams)

11How to Do Chemical Tricks

By A. T. Anderson

While a bit outdated in many of the more complex descriptions of several of the phenomena described, this book is nonetheless still fun and relevant for a person interested in basic chemistry or physics tricks, and the devices built in the book can be easily replicated with more modern materials. The book is split up into many little experiments, tricks, with an explanation on how it works, what's happening, and how to reproduce the effects at home.(summary by Kyle Van DeGlast)

12American Big-Game Hunting

By George S. Anderson, Winthrop Chanler, Oscar F. C. Crocker, Walter Bourchier Devereux, George Bird Grinnell, Arnold Hague, W. D. Pickett, Archibald Rogers, Theodore Roosevelt, Bronson Rumsey, Dean Sage, Roger D. Williams and Owen Wister

The first book published by The Boone and Crockett Club founded by Theodore Roosevelt and George Grinnell, who declared in their Editors Note: "Hunting big game in the wilderness is, above all things, a sport for a vigorous and masterful people. The rifle-bearing hunter, whether he goes on foot or on horseback, whether he voyages in a canoe or travels with a dog-sled, must be sound of body and firm of mind, and must possess energy, resolution, manliness, self-reliance, and capacity for hardy self-help. In short, the big-game hunter must possess qualities without which no race can do its life-work well; and these are the very qualities which it is the purpose of this Club, so far as may be, to develop and foster."<br /><br /> A bit outdated as to the equipment they used, this book is nevertheless an intense look at the west in early days, and at the beginnings of the conservationist movement in America. Each chapter focuses on a different animal, from buffalo, mountain goat, elk, pronghorn sheep, grizzlies, etc., indigenous peoples, different areas like the Rockies and Yellowstone, and it still captures the essence of the spirit of the hunt.<br /><br /> The book ends with a list of the club's original 100 members, a veritable Who's Who of Generals, Colonels, Doctors, Senators and Representatives, amongst them that most illustrious Gen'l William T. Sherman. ( ~ Michele Fry, read by LibriVox Volunteers)

13Windy McPherson's Son

By Sherwood Anderson

Windy McPherson's Son is the story of Sam McPherson's rise in the world of business and search for emotional enlightenment in later life. McPherson starts out as an ambitious newsboy in Caxton, Ohio, with drunkard of a father who constantly embarrasses him. Eventually, after his mother's death and an episode with a middle-aged schoolteacher, McPherson leaves Caxton for Chicago.

This feeling inspires him to leave Chicago and travel all over becoming involved in various adventures. Finally, McPherson's comes across a promiscuous and alcoholic mother of three children. A deal is made and McPherson gets custody of the children. Showing up with the children at Sue's current place of residence, the five of them become family. ( Wikipedia)

14Inside Earth

By Poul William Anderson

This story takes place in the not so distant future. Earth has been conquered and is a subjugated planet, the much too humanoid new rulers now extract heavy taxes, control industry and reproduction and interfere in every aspect of life. Rumors of their brutality and vicious massacres increase every day. Obviously, they must be thrown out and rebellion seethes among the patriots. But on the other hand, others are not so eager to get rid of the overlords: the terrible nationalistic wars have been stopped, famine is long gone and health care is almost universally available. Still, the elite intellectual portion of the earth's population plot to remove the heavy heel of the oppressors from their necks and let earth be free again. But time and again the attempts for freedom have been crushed the Valgolians mainly because national, ethnic, religious and racial prejudices and hatred among the earthlings keep the conspirators from working together. Obviously, no conqueror wants his subjects to revolt against his rule. Obviously? This one would go to any lengths to start a rebellion!

15Sensitive Man

By Poul William Anderson

Poul Anderson delves into the realm of human potential in this exciting story and asks some penetrating questions for us to think about. What if psychology finally enabled people to even partially control all those automatic reactions of our minds and bodies? What if we were not slaves to anger, fear, emotions, hormones, blood pressure and the thousand other things that our bodies 'take care of' from instant to instant? What if those things could be brought under the control even partially of our reason and minds? In this story one man stood between a power-hungry cabal and their world mastery—but a man of, shall we say, unusual talents.

Margaret Steele Anderson was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1867 and was educated in the public school of Louisville, with special courses at Wellesley College. From 1901 Miss Anderson was Literary Editor of the `Evening Post' of Louisville, and was known as one of the most discriminating critics of the South. She published only one volume of verse, "The Flame in the Wind", 1914. (David Lawrence

Frederick Irving Anderson was a New York newspaperman who had a second career writing mystery stories for the "slick" magazines such as the Saturday Evening Post. The Infallible Godahl is a collection of some of his first stories. Godahl is a clever gentleman thief, who might be thought of as an American version of Raffles or Arsene Lupin. - Summary by Winston Tharp
