Quote: "SATRAN KAEVON" (A.GLASS 2017)

 

"Well, everyone has been very civil tonight with this discussion...No insinuation. But, I did chair a discussion in regards to neuroscience. It did get very heated," the host replies.

"Yes, there has been some heated debates in regards to the still unclear and untested theory of neurons effecting behavioral impulses," Maninoff says, whilst nodding his head.

"A discussion for another time." The host then looks over at Professor Sean Miller.

"Professor Miller you have stated that information essentially consumes its self. Would you like to elaborate on that quote."

"Certainly, the full quote originates from a mentor of mine by the name of Kretas Di'ouza a philosopher of science, who in the late nineteen sixties was able to lay down the blueprint for modern day computation. As far as outlining the way networks can evolve and respond to rapid amounts of information. Kretas unfortunately passed away early this year. I'll read you his full quote." Professor Miller looks down at a sheet of paper which he is holding.

"Information by definition consumes itself. What is retained can only be seen for a certain amount of time, and within our own desire in its consciousness of understating information. It is the process and stress of trying to attain that fraught observation – we may never grasp."

Professor Miller places the sheet of paper down onto the small table to his right.

"What Kretas was referring to was information being not retained in the sense that the more information we receive, this less time we can allocate our attention to deal with, which in most cases, it is invariant information. But, like the mythical Ouroboros, even when we do hold that attention in our understanding of it's accumulation. The processing and unraveling of what is relevant, within its context, will eventually be consumed. So, what that means is that information is not stored within us. We’re just spectators to it being devoured."
