first post on the blog! i was on here from like 2016-2019. i am now back on the hellsite.
lil introduction: my name’s lake, i’m from nyc, and i’m about to start studying theatre directing and neuroscience in uni! i’m a complete nerd and wouldn’t have it any other way. i’m fluent in english and hebrew, and am learning ASL. i’m also a dancer, singer/songwriter, highly opinionated book reader, and an anti-capitalist. i’ll probably talk about all of the things (and more) on here,
so feel free to follow along if anything resonates.

Given my most recent decent into madness (read; my first ongoing listen through of ars Paradoxica) I think it's time to write about something I was delighted to hear them talk about on the show.
Tense specific aphasia.
But before we get into that, let's answer a slightly more general question: what actually is aphasia?
Well, it's a disorder usually caused by a stroke ( or excessive time travel in this case) that damages the language area of the brain. This can result in difficulty understanding and/or producing words.
Specifically, tense specific aphasia is meant to be representative of a kind of agrammatic aphasia. In other words, a disorder where you can't get the grammar in your sentences quite right. This 'agrammatism' can be a symptom of Broca's aphasia, a common form of aphasia where you understand what's going on around you but you can't produce the appropriate language in response. Think of it like having trouble finding those words - like they're on the tip of your tongue all the time and you just can't reach them.
Verbs can be a particularly challenging area within an agrammatic subtype, especially non infinitive verbs. Or in terms that most of us don't have to look up on Wikipedia, words that have a tense attached to them: travelled/travelling, called/calling etc. As opposed to their infinitive counterparts (travel, call) which do not.
While the symptoms Donovan or Sally displays are a bit different from your typical aphasia, it's great to see such a neurologically complex and under represented disorder portrayed. I love that it has been so carefully linked as an outcome to messing with time. Mess with the timeline and the recoil will mess with your ability to describe what has-will be-is happening around you!

Neuroisocracy: Polity and Communication
"Signs of transhumanity: sexlessness, artificial reproduction, distributed individuality, and body enhancement with implants." - A prominent representative of the FM-2030 transhumanist movement
Here we will talk about theoretically possible communication and political structure in Angelomorphic society - neural network isocracy, or simply neuroisocracy.
Correct information exchange for better organization of society in the world and its best transformation without unity of consciousness is impossible, but is possible with implementation of interpersonal network technology (distributed individuality by means of Brainet extended neurocommunication technology), which will allow uniting our selves on information level, similar to how it already exists on the foundation level of the universe, based on metaphysical foundations of Angelomorphy and some research. In particular, research suggests that each of us is a kind of alter ego of every other person and of the universe as such.
According to Doctor of Philosophy D. Dubrovsky, overcoming the accumulating global problems is possible by continuing anthropogenesis, changing the biological nature of man. The famous science fiction writer S. Lem was of the same opinion. The philosopher Peter Singer stated that there is a biologically conditioned tendency toward egoism, gender stratification, and hierarchical membership of society, rooted in the very nature of human society and counteracting any attempts at egalitarian social reform. To resolve this problem, new genetic and neurological technologies must be employed to modify aspects of our nature. A new system of communication will become not only a new form of communication, but, as in the case of a new form of reproductive organization of society, an important component of the new political order of the heirs of the human species.
The emergence of the human mind is closely linked to the integration of human beings into human society. Human society is qualitatively different from communities of other mammals because of the ability of humans to create and develop language. It performs two functions: the exchange of information between individuals and the creation of models of reality. These two functions at the level of social integration are analogous to the functions of the nervous system at the level of integration of cells into a multicellular organism.
In the material of language, people create new symbolic models of reality (in particular, scientific and metaphysical theories) that nature has not created at the level of our nervous system. Language is like an extension of the human brain. Moreover, it is a single extension of the brain of all members of society. It is a collective model of reality, which is perfected by all members of society and passed on from generation to generation. It has long been noted that human society can be viewed as a single organism. The body of this organism is the totality of all people and things made by them. Its "physiology" is the culture of society and, above all, language.
Brainet can work as a new type of computational architecture, such as a kind of biological computer, where each member of the distributed network acts as a separate neuron of the whole brain. Brainet is rhizomic, i.e. decentralized between all participants, without a single center, but communicating through distributed networks between selves (living subjects), various systems, databases, etc. The network in the future will be invasive and will grow into the brain while the fetus is still in the womb of the incubator. It should be done exactly at the embryonic stage due to the fact that this is the moment when brain dimorphism is manifested, and for perfect data transfer and perfect mutual understanding the brains should develop approximately equally, and the perception of the Network by the brain should be as natural as possible, as if it were its inseparable part.
It is also only possible to do this with incubator breeding, for obvious reasons.If everything in the world is connected and changeable, then your individuality is also a stream of temporal data, and if there is data coming to you, in particular from other subjects via brain networks, this does not deprive you of a conditioned self.
The example of two Siamese twins from Canada, who were born in 2006 with connected brains, a common thalamus and nervous system, whereby they could communicate with thoughts, sense each other through a common nervous system, and so on, but they had strikingly different personalities, which was noted by their parents.
Trans-personal brain-network, i.e. Self with + sign, when preserving conditional self, you are also distributed throughout the whole rhizomic network, which allows creating, among other things, the most effective ways to manage internal processes of society, technology, and of course information, qualitatively improving it.
From neurocommunication we move to a possible form of political order - to neuroisocracy, as polity under angelomorphism - to a new res publica of new people. According to the philosopher C. Apel, in a society of perfect communication everything is agreed to by all and any decision is the result of the discourses of all participants in communication. Isocracy itself is when each member of society controls the whole system. This means equality before the law and equality in governance. Isocracy extends the concept of liberal rights and their embodiment in a democratic form of government to include the right of ownership of oneself, and of natural resources as a source of public revenue. Protected by constitutional guarantees, isocracy is independent of the vagaries of opinion, a secular and republican form of government. In terms of organizational structure, isocracy stands for a federalist network and a Mutuelist economic order. One might think of it as a direct democracy. Neuro-means that certain previously described neuro-technologies are used to implement such governance. It is essentially a perfected form of networked direct democracy.
The political system would be a fully decentralized system. P2P (peer to peer) implies equality of participants throughout the system. The economy, most likely organized through free cooperation with a common task to create the common good, will be based on equal cooperative production with collegial management and equal ownership - common ownership of producers and consumers. Open cooperatives based on public resources, which differ from collective capitalism and from state economies in their commitment to the creation and expansion of common goods for society, will be places of association and creation, and perhaps even of large families.
We also envision the rejection of all total institutions like prisons, as well as mental hospitals and schools in their modern totalist sense. In parallel with the development of direct networking, a detailed study of the brain is required in order to understand better what real abnormalities may exist in it and whether it is possible to influence them, i.e. we can say that with the development of technology in any case psychiatry will become a full science, without the present prescription of drugs by selection. Education as a whole will make a serious leap upward with development. Prisons, on the other hand, as a disciplinary institution, became obsolete long ago, but still exist as a terrible atavism. There is nothing adequate in the fact that a person is imprisoned for many years in horrible conditions for violating mostly contrived laws from above. In an angelomorphic society, extremely serious crimes can be punished by rewriting a person's identity, but any disciplinary punishments that create a completely unhealthy society these days must be eliminated.
Ant colonies have already been mentioned before, but it is worth dwelling on them again. Each ant colony consists of many sterile females and one or more fertile queens. In fact, the queen's only role is to lay eggs.The queen here is analogous to the artificial intelligence incubator systems of Angelomorphic society, while the entire society is not sterile females, but beings that are asexual and incapable of reproduction.
Neither the queen nor any of the other members of the colony are in a position to assess what to do in any given situation, and none of them commands their congeners. In Angelomorphic society, a similar social paradigm is very likely when neural network communication systems are implemented.
And since we have touched on natural species and their similarities to the future society we are describing, the following points can also be remembered. According to some philosophers, industrial and post-industrial society does not suit man and his nature, it is extremely difficult for man to feel fulfilled here, because man is still essentially a primate, and according to these philosophers he should return to his natural primate life. There may be some truth in this, but that is not what we want to say. By continuing the evolution of man artificially, to his becoming an angelomorph, we change both his nature and his natural needs and stimuli. That is, the natural environment of the angelomorph is no longer the natural environment for the old primitive man, and the new environment of the future is more than natural and desirable for him. If we place an angelomorph and the old man in the conditions of the primitive Stone Age, it is likely that the angelomorph will not feel in his environment, and will simply die out for lack of the same incubators, or if possible make an attempt to reproduce his natural environment. And we think that the economic structure will also be changed in a natural way, because if for humans capitalism at this stage of development is a natural economy, although maybe less natural than hunting and gathering, then for angelomorphs a completely different form of economic and political structure will be natural.

Become a martial arts expert by uploading the ability to fight directly to your brain. Build a new body and insert the mind of a lost loved one into this newly created person. Actor Keanu Reeves did both—at least his characters did in the movies The Matrix (1999) and Replicas (2018). Perhaps you would like to tap into the 90% of your brain that you do not use to improve your memory and thinking power. Actor Bradley Cooper did this playing the character Eddie Morra in Limitless (2011), as did Scarlett Johansson as the title character in Lucy (2014). Do Hollywood movies get the neuroscience right? If not, what is the harm? Perhaps Hollywood will provide ideas and inspiration for scientists to pursue new innovations in neuroscience and neurotechnology. 
Read more about what Hollywood gets wrong (and right) about neuroscience from Eric H. Chudler.
