human evolution floors it

[bopes]

more (http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/12/071211-human-evolution.html) evidence of an approaching som'n-or-other?

7 percent of human genes have been undergoing rapid, recent evolution.

If humans had always evolved at this rate, the difference between modern humans and chimps should be 160 times greater than it really is.

"We realized we must be in a transient [phase], that evolution hasn't been going this fast for long in our species," Harpending said. "And so we wondered why."

According to Charles Darwin's famous theory, evolution happens faster in big populations.

Harpending said the timing of the newly observed evolution acceleration coincides with explosive growth in human population, coupled with humans living in new environments and changing cultures.

The biggest changes have come since the end of the last ice age, about 10,000 years ago, which opened up new environments for the quickly expanding human population to grow from millions to billions.


I like that bit about the chimps. I guess if humans had always evolved at this pace, by now we'd be at the big giant head stage.

More like devolution -- it's called "epigenetics" or environmental destruction of humanity.

The thing about math is that it's based on logic. So in 5th grade apparently I was in some advanced math class and then in 6th grade I transferred schools and had to teach myself math for that year. There was another student who was also a year ahead and he was a computer geek.

So he worked on a computer graphics program as part of a science grant that the school received and I helped him out. For this achievement the principal took us out to deep dish pizza and the school had a science fair, funded by Medtronics.

Kinda strange but then I transferred to private school and was told to stay in the same math level as everyone else.

But then my grades were excellent yet in 10th grade, for enriched geometry, I DISAGREED WITH THE LOGIC OF THE PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM.

The reason was that my perspective was music and I didn't think that the "proof by contradiction" actually demonstrated a POSITIVE proof for the square root of two. I knew the ratios could be considered in terms of the Law of Pythagoras which I was already studying.

Of course there was no way I could express this so I kept it to myself. After high school I took Quantum Mechanics as my first year of college -- an experimental course taught by a Harvard trained physics professor in Amherst, MA -- Hampshire College.

The idea behind teaching quantum mechanics for 1st year physics is that it is the new foundation for physics and so should be understood before classical physics.

Well sure enough, even though we just used trigonometry -- enriched geometry -- the logic violated the commutative principle of algebra thereby showing a different route to proof by contradiction.

Meanwhile I was studying Gregory Bateson's book "Mind and Nature: A study in Unity"

Coincidentally the student teacher of that quantum mechanics class -- the assistant to the professor -- was also reading the same book.

Bateson's writing style is really opaque so I had to keep reading that book but it's all about logical paradoxes and time.

In quantum mechanics it's assumed that time = zero as the parameter of a closed trajectory (be it a statistical matrix or an equation of calculus).

This means that quantum mechanics converts the violation of the commutative principle (A x B = B x A) back into the logarithmic-based geometry that I had already learned, using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Anyway I've read tons of math books -- an excellent one is "The History of Calculus" by Carl Boyer because he details how the Dedekind Cut did not solve this basic logical paradox between geometry and algebra.

I was raised in a strict environment based on logic -- my dad was a lawyer and his dad a preacher.

So intuitively I knew that the algebra and geometry didn't demonstrate the proof for the irrational number -- the square root of two -- (confirmed in a 1999 Philosophy journal spring issue, "Did the Greeks Discover the Irrational?" by Professors Philip Hugly and Charles Sayward -- Hugly's retired but I corresponded with Sayward, or vice versa) and since my own training was music I knew that there was an alternative.

Only later did I discover that alchemy -- free energy training -- is also based on the logic of music -- not western mathematics.

And, a la Bateson, I realized, as he did, that this logical error from Plato, is the cause of the current global ecological and social justice crisis.

Still math is fun to study for the concepts -- Desargues, the inventor of projective geometry, is particularly fascinating. Ian Stewart's latest book, "Why Beauty is Truth: A History of Symmetry" (2007) is probably the best overview of mathematics -- he's a quantum chaos math professor with whom I've corresponded. Math professor Joe Mazur's new book "The Motion Paradox" also takes this basic algebra-geometry logical error back to it's foundation in Greek philosophy.

Mazur stated that my math research is "very valuable" and urged me to have it published in a peer-reviewed academic journal.

Alain Connes, the inventor of noncommutative geometry, states that music is the secret to understand quantum logic -- but he still relies on WESTERN music (and therefore still does not understand the secret). The same goes for Brian Josephson, nobel laureate in quantum physics, who looks to music for a science model explaining paranormal reality and with whom I've corresponded. Josephson admitted that he doesn't know enough about music to comment on my research.

[bopes]

well, I guess one person's evolution is another's violation of the commutative principle.

[craazyman]

One of these days, Drew will give us the Cliff's Notes version.

I don't know much about music, but I did read about a quantum physist at Georgia Tech who was trying to build a mathematics based on the non-associative principles of color combinations, like if you shine a white light through translucent color filters ( green + red ) + blue does not equal green + (red + blue). I don't know if he got anywhere with it.

[craazyman]

that may be a bad example, because I think white will result in either case, but the idea was something to that effect, where the associative property did not occur in reality with addition.

[Caprinardo Delirio]

drew, "epigenetics" hold no inherit meaning of either devolution or some kind of progressive evolution. it can obviously be and is both.

music is epigenetic!

[drew hempel]

Yeah for example indigenous tribes were tested to see if the hearing got bad in old age -- contrary to the West -- the hearing was amazing.

Also "auras" are considered by science to be just color-emotion synaesthia (just an internal misperception) which demonstrates a total misunderstanding of natural resonance evolution.

Therefore ignore Professor Nan, Huai-chin -- a full-lotus Buddhist master and best-seller in Asia. Ah if only ignorance truly was bliss! haha.

Here's an excerpt from Henry P. Stapp's 2007 entry on consciousness -- see his essay "Quantum Mechanical Theories of Consciousness" (2007) because it focuses on Number and Order. http://www-physics.lbl.gov/~stapp/stappfiles.html

"There is, however, a fly in the ointment: In order to extract statistical predictions about possible experiences, some specific probing question must be physically posed. This probing question must have a countable set of experientially distinct alternative possible responses. “Countable” means that the possible responses can be placed in one-to-one correspondence with the whole numbers 1, 2, 3, …, or with some finite subset of these numbers. But the number of possible classically describable possibilities is not countable: there is a continuous infinity of such possibilities. So some decision must be made as to which of the possible probing questions will be physically posed."

Now what Stapp goes on to elucidate is how the Order of the Number effects the results of the experiment -- in other words time is not reversible as it is in classical physics and also there is a direct intervention of consciousness.

My spin on this is that the noncommutative properties of the quantum statistics (momentum times position does not equal position times momentum) were already tabulated by the Law of Pythaogras in nonwestern harmonics.

I already posted on this website the connection between quantum mechanics and harmonics -- it's through the "time-frequency uncertainty principle" which is just rehashing the commutative principle -- it's BEFORE the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle which relies on time-energy uncertainty (not frequency).

In quantum chaos, as professor Brian Goodwin states, the subharmonics of frequency creates a significant increase in amplitude.

But the key phrase is SUBHARMONICS. Classical science relies on multiples through logarithmic measurements -- using a "one-to-one correspondence." (as mentioned by Stapp above)

In nonwestern harmonics the resonance is through asymmetric complimentary opposites in an open system premised on the same consciousness that Henry P. Stapp argues is real.

So it's mathematical "inverse induction" -- the Harmonic Series is not discrete but continuous (contrary to Western math) and diverges to consciousness -- through complimentary opposites.

Again 1:2 as the octave does not have the same equal-tempered frequency -- but rather resonates as transduction of energy -- into ultrasonics and ionization of electrochemicals through ultrasonic heat and finally into electromagnetic ionization that bends spacetime.

Normally in Western science amplitude defined as intensity of energy is dependent on mass -- or "number" of units but the black box and photoelectric experiments redefined intensity of energy as frequency, leaving the definition of mass now undefined. For example dark energy -- some 90% of the universe -- is considered to be "baryonic acoustic oscillations" with "baryonic" left to be discovered.

This philosophical issue is the focus of Henry P. Stapp's research.

He does an excellent job in elucidating the problem but he doesn't solve the problem.

Nonwestern music solves the problem by instead of relying on right-angled, rectilinear vectors for momentum or "divide and average" statistics (both with time as a parameter equaling zero) there is a continuum of energy transduction through logical inference.

Time, instead, diverges to consciousness as female formless awareness. Or as Kurt Godel put it:

A person can time-travel because they would not DESIRE to change the future.

Normally sound is defined as vibration of an object -- because science relies on mass and matter before relying on sound. Logically this is incorrect. Newton got his gravity directly from Pythagoras, as was revealed in the 1960s -- Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London published the article -- cited by Professor James Bunn, with whom I've corresponded.

So Newton thought, contrary to Galileo, that Pythagoras had a weight 4 times greater to create a string with twice the intensity and therefore an octave higher in frequency.

That's the real source of the inverse square law.

In fact that's not real Pythagorean thought, as I detail in my blogbook -- http://mothershiplanding.blogspot.com

Again the answer is in wave-form -- as Tesla demanded -- only use sine-waves -- but also there must be an open system of logical inference for alchemy to occur.

The process logically starts with female formless awareness and ends with female formless awareness.

So the inverse induction is simple.

1:2:3:4 is the Law of Pythagoras. 2:3 is the Perfect 5th or yang that resonates as 3:4, the perfect fourth or yin.

My research discovered that 2:3 is yang while 3:4 is yin as linked at http://nonduality.com/hempel.htm

The 12 fifths fill up the chromatic scale but the overtones do not return to the same octave frequency.

In the West that's a serious problem because it violates the commutative principle.

In nonwestern tuning 2:3 is C to G while 3:4 is G to C.

In the west the 12 notes are converted to the square root of two system.

The tritone is the square root of two as 9/8 cubed -- 9/8 being the major 2nd note of the diatonic Gurdjieff scale.

Again the "small universe" exercise is the 12 notes of the scale as yang-yin transduction.

"Ah! if only ignorance truly was bliss! Haha."

Yes, in that case we should hold most blessed nation status.

That's why I read your every post Drew Hempel (although i am mathematically handicapped--and cannot dance or keep a beat to save my soul).

I guess i sense thru "female formless awareness".

You still haven't deigned to reply: Will sitting tailor fashion suffice if one's knee joints have fused through years of abuse?

All domesticated animals, no longer under the sway of evolution, (or the necessity of caring for oneself), show a rapid decline in intelligence.

Willoweyes -- I recommend practicing the small universe sitting meditation -- there should be a $3 clearance tape at http://springforestqigong.com -- the Level 1 sitting meditation (you can do it just in a chair). This is really all that's necessary and after awhile you have full body-mind transformation.

Fear reactions are just a symptom of your kidney (or will power) energy not being ionized. Just ask Stanford Professor Robert Sapolsky, author of "The Trouble with Testosterone" -- he and I've corresponded.

Today I read "In Search of Klingsor" by Jorge Volpi (2003). Usually I don't read fiction but this is one of those "faction" books that is mostly about quantum physics and philosophy and the Nazis, etc. It's way better than that "Infinite Jest" math fiction writer -- David Foster Wallass.

Anyway the book focuses on Godel, of course, how the truth in math is either unproveable or if it's proven false it's inconsistent.

Pretty funny that all your all comments don't even appreciate logic discovered in the 1930s.

Today I had a fascinating "O at a D" with an African-American in full burka. No it was not a McDonalds but she did sit right across from my full-lotus gaze -- in the only place in the cafe where this was possible. Half my body faced a wall so my gaze had a very narrow range of focus.

I actually counted the right-side vagus nerve pulsations. It took about 60 pulsations for "O at D," after the bliss-light transduction kicked in.

Remember that this process is automatic resonance from female formless awareness based on complimentary opposites -- it's not based on symmetric logic of western science.

If you want to find out the secret then just start sitting in full-lotus and enjoy! haha. Btw, her cold was gone after she received the yang bliss-light energy but she still had to stick her juice straw underneath her black face veil, up from her chest, in order to drink.

this speedy pace of evolution will not slow until every possible beneficial mutation starts to happen—the maximum rate of adaptation.

I'm amazed at the stupidity of the New Age scene. Humans and chimps share 99% of their DNA. So any "evolution" based on the difference between humans and chimps is NOTHING compared to "evolution" of Nature as a whole.

The SCIAM article argues that farming spurred a leap in human evolution compared to chimps. The SCIAM article does not compare this to the destruction of evolution by farming-based humans.

So what's the trade off? A 1% change in human genes with the wholesale destruction of 99% of the gene bank of Nature's evolution.

Sorry but humans can not "escape" from Nature just because we've evolved to use more destructive technology.

What a joke!

Also just read Professor Jeffrey Schwartz expose on DNA molecular time analysis. Morphology is much more reliable -- showing that humans are closer to orangutans than to chimps.

Finally there's just a new study showing that current DNA techniques misanalyze gene function with a whopping error of something like 25%.

Science is destroying the planet and the New Age scene argues it's "evolution" as "progress."

Spiritual imperialism = Reality Sandwich.

[bopes]

Point taken, Drew, about the destruction of the rest of the gene bank, but who's equating "evolution" with "progress"?

Caught between an angry omnipotent God and Manichean madness, they squirm and squirm. Ho Ho Ho. :p

The orangutang loses not a minute's sleep over global warming or the new ice age or whatever terror haunts the no-ousphere. Where's my banana?:cool:

Exactly what I was thinking (:confused:), only you said it more cryptically and with more Dylan.

[suebee]

my personal devolution is stinging me with all the meaninglessness of existence at present. life is a joke which halliburton blackwater and exxonmobile have realized and hence the value of acquire/spend like there is no tommorrow and take no prisoners.

willow is there a diagnosis for your knees? mine have gotten better with a sitting yoga posture (i think its called hero's pose) which in yoga journal some famous yogi said was the only thing which will improve knee function. you start out sitting on your feet knees ahead of you, then as you get more adept you scrunch down between your feet and sit on the floor, ankles at sides of hips. it sounds like your knees might not do any of this but i thought id let you know. at first i couldnt do it more than 15 seconds but its gotten easier and my knees are better even in the ridiculously frigid calif temperatures lately. global warming please. ive ruined my carbon footprint for the entire year in one month. :errf:

[drew hempel]

Well male orangutans do kill other males when the subdominants try to get in on the ovulating females. It's territorial and their territory is getting destroyed -- so yeah the orangutans are pissed about ecological collapse. It's all about testosterone and how male primates don't know how to sublimate and transduce it. An excellent book mentioning orangutans -- but focused on the end of the world through the eyes of the tiger is Richard Ives' "On Tiger and Men: Entering the Age of Extinction" -- read that a few days ago as I mentioned over at your alterego site -- http://webofmimicry.com

The Parrot's Lament is the best new book on animal consciousness. Sure they care about humans' destroying the planet. That book mentions how even invertebrates can tell if they're being lied to.

The truth is Mother Nature - beyond any human projections of superior intelligence.

[willoweyes]

Thank you Sue.

Screw you Drew. (I wonder how many other females have spoken these same words).

I am not in fear, and I would like a recommendation for a sitting posture that you might give a friend and collegue, not a curt recommentation to search out some chessy tape on the internet.

I do agree with your analysis of the human race versus the rest of creation, however, Drew.

Sue, I've torn up my knees so bad--Cruiciate ligaments gone in both, and only 15% of the cartilige left. Going up stairs, I sound like the tin man left out in a rainstorm. Only titanium would help at this point--and I refuse to interfere with what is so obviously God's will.

If I tried the posture you recommended, I would probably never rise again!

I am very graTeful to be walking! And bicycle riding, praise the Lord in His mercy, is good for my knees.

[drew hempel]

Wow a free screw! haha. Hey try this out -- it's even cheesier and probably should help you a lot. http://www.mnwelldir.org/docs/qigong/qigong3.htm

You just stand with the knees slightly bent and the legs slightly farther apart than the shoulder width.

[Bowdenta]

Well male orangutans do kill other males when the subdominants try to get in on the ovulating females. It's territorial and their territory is getting destroyed -- so yeah the orangutans are pissed about ecological collapse. I've also heard that non-alpha males will actually rape other orangutans not for procreation but merely to fulfill there need for contact and solidify their place in a primate society for which they have been seemingly rejected. i dont think its purely because they are horny - i believe they can masturbate to get it out of their systems. they rape for other reasons
