... We do so by examining the cognitive abilities associated with three contemporary theories of conscious function: Global Workspace Theory (GWT), Information Generation Theory (IGT), and Attention Schema Theory (AST). ...
... We find that all three theories specifically relate conscious function to some aspect of domain-general intelligence in humans. ...
... With this insight, we turn to the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and find that, while still far from demonstrating general intelligence, many state-of-the-art deep learning methods have begun to incorporate key aspects of each of the three functional theories. ...
... Given this apparent trend, we use the motivating example of mental time travel in humans to propose ways in which insights from each of the three theories may be combined into a unified model. ...
... We believe that doing so can enable the development of artificial agents which are not only more generally intelligent but are also consistent with multiple current theories of conscious function. ...

... An interesting challenge for this theory is that the government has two inflation indices, the CPI (calculated by the BLS) and the PCE price index (calculated by the BEA). The CPI, the one used for adjusting Social Security benefits, tends to come in higher than the PCE index. ...
... Personally I think the most likely story is that the BLS (slightly) changed its methodology in the 1990s because it thought the new methodology would more accurately capture the true inflation rate. ...

... Over the years I’ve tried several times to find a version of Austrian business cycle theory I found plausible and I’ve always come away scratching my head. Thread… Here’s my basic understanding of the model: the economy has some industries that are capital intensive and others that are not. ...
... In the Austrian theory, a recession is a process of resource re-allocation from capital-intensive to capital-light industries. Society needs to produce fewer factories and machine tools and more beer and pairs of pants (or whatever). ...
... In the Austrian theory, it’s important that central banks don’t interrupt this process by pushing interest rates back down to unnaturally low levels, because that interferes with this necessary re-allocation process. Ok so let’s think about 2006 to 2009. ...

... Yet none of them experienced a crash anywhere near as large as ours. When I share this image people sometimes suggest I'm cherry picking, since other major economies don't look like the ones for the UK, Canada and France here. ...

... Human has been organizing thoughts/ideas in story-like linear ways since the beginning of human culture. Books, talks, and lectures are all examples of such organizations. It's not the only way we convey ideas, e.g. day to day conversations usually are more or less structure-free and spontaneous. ...
... Ideas are bouncing in all directions. In the Internet age, Twitter and other social media provide new ways to perform such conversations multilaterally, but they are not well structured. ...
... The mainstream way to communicate larger groups of thoughts/ideas in a structured way remains to be the linear structure as in books, lectures, podcasts, etc. Though they have two main shortcomings 1. ...

... The brain uses a mental language to represent and organize complex ideas and concepts. This mental language is thought to be distinct from natural languages like English or Spanish, and it is believed to be the medium through which we think and process information. ...
... According to the LOTH, the structure and content of this mental language are shaped by the structure and content of the natural languages that we learn, but it is not identical to any one natural language. ...
... Instead, it is thought to be a universal language that is used by all humans to represent and process complex ideas. Link: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/language-thought/ ...

... Narrative organization of ideas such as books, lectures, and talks, is excellent for the owner of those ideas to convey them to an audience. But it's not effective in enabling multidirectional exchanges of ideas in which ideas come from and go to multiple participants. ...
... We do not write each other books or give each other lectures when we need to exchange ideas. Instead, we have conversations, correspondences, tweets, comments, etc. In them, we forego structure/organization to enable smaller bits of ideas and thoughts to go freely in any direction. ...

... Collectively, hypotheses constitute our model (or theory) of the world. A hypothesis, often together with other hypotheses, can produce predictions. We use the broadest sense of this word, not limited to untested theories of how something works. ...
... It encompasses assumption, theory, putative knowledge, and the narrow sense of hypothesis. **Prediction:** A yet-to-be-made observation or (observational categorical per Quine). It's usually based on one or more hypotheses. The relationships between these categories of thoughts are fixed. ...
... In another sentence, there is an algebra in these elements of thoughts. This theory (or "hypothesis" as defined in itself) has [a philosophical basis](https://www.themind.net/hypotheses/M1qolEkbTje29ze62yEfQg): our knowledge of the world consists solely of prediction models. ...

... A system that lets users record their inquiry thoughts/ideas as observations, hypotheses, and predictions (OH&P) can provide a new mode of communication and collaboration between users - they can structurally connect their atomic OH&P directly to other users' OH&P. ...
... ([This is challenging](https://www.themind.net/observations/4fcVuFGoTEa43ez-xhSAsg) when thoughts/ideas are organized in the usual narrative structure, such as books, lectures, and talks). ...
... Such a system that connects atomic ideas and thoughts between users might achieve a **digitalized collective mind**. Digitalized mind means all ideas/thoughts are digitalized, collective meaning that these ideas/thoughts are contributed by multiple users and digitally connected to each other. ...

... More specifically, a network of ideas, thoughts, propositions, observations, things that live in our minds. Imagine we can connect things in our minds with things in other people's minds. ...
... As explained by the book "Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation", being able to make connections between ideas in different minds has been critical for human innovations. ...
... Imagine if we have a medium that is specifically designed to facilitate connections between ideas in different minds. This medium is structured but allows easy divergence, multilateral and asynchronous. ...
