all is not trial and error. there is communication, and there is imitation.
learning is not random.
shit. even randomness ain't random. randomness doesn't exist!!!!!!!!!!!
because meaning cannot be divorced from experience
Krimel relied:
Zat so?
Well all kinds of Shit happens.
Good shit
Bad Shit
Sensible and senseless shit
Static and dynamic shit
Communication, imitation and especially learning all involve:
Checking things out,
Messing with them and
Seeing what happens.
There is a bit of the random in every thing that exists but the formula for
making "meaning" out of it is:
Check it out
Mess with it
See what happens
Krimel should have added:
I agree that randomness isn't random.
But I would say that is why randomness exists.
Strange attractors are encroachments on randomness.
Islands of probability floating in chance
"Static qualities" describes them well.
Bits of calm amidst turbulence
They ripple ponds
Wave from dunes
They ripen with the seasons
Spiraling thorough the cycles
As life and death strobe renewal at each iteration
at each iteration
at each iteration
at each iteration
at each iteration
They come and go
Static is as static does.
Randomness can not be driven from a relationship.
But randomness can be distinguished from uncertainty.
Randomness is specifiable
Uncertainty is not.
Phenomenologically, randomness surrounds us.
It is we who "'are' uncertain".
Uncertainty isn't about randomness.
Randomness is just shit happening
Uncertainty isn't about what "is"
It's about "What to do?".
I'd suggest checking it out, messing with it and seeing what happens.
That's how meaning emerges from experience.
Meaning is reduction in uncertainty.
Try it you'll see what I mean.
