Genes vs Cultures vs Consciousness Quotes

“if you are reading this book, you likely travel (even to other countries), you buy new clothes when they tear or get worn out, and maybe you even have a single room at home. Other humans, for no good reason, just don’t.”
― Andres Campero, Genes vs Cultures vs Consciousness: A Brief Story of Our Computational Minds

“a person that earns as little as 10 dollars a day is a rich person by global standards and has a very luxurious life compared to most of the world. Moreover, if you are reading this, then you are likely really really rich and have a really really luxurious life. Also likely, you don’t see it like that.”

“people are all being happy by following their social nomos.”
― Andres Campero, Genes vs Cultures vs Consciousness: A Brief Story of Our Computational Minds

“Above all, be capable of feeling in the deepest any injustice committed against anyone anywhere”.”

“animals “have been subjected to a regime of industrial exploitation whose cruelty has no precedent in the annals of planet Earth. If we accept a mere tenth of what animal-rights activists are claiming, then modern industrial agriculture might well be the greatest crime in history. When evaluating global happiness, it is wrong to count the happiness only of the upper classes, of Europeans, or of men. Perhaps it is also wrong to consider only the happiness of humans.” [Harari, 2011].”

“The basic computational structure is straightforward, DNA is decoded into aminoacids, aminoacids bind into proteins, proteins form our cells and cells are combined to form our organs, our muscles and our brains.”

“Life is a set of computational and energetic processes instantiated in chemical reactions and DNA is its digital information storage device.”
― Andres Campero, Genes vs Cultures vs Consciousness: A Brief Story of Our Computational Minds

“Modern brain and cognitive sciences have since evolved away from the logical processor model towards the broader notion of computation, thus framing the mind as a system that performs input-output signal transformations through its ever-changing internal states.”

“it is an overstatement to describe what I am attempting here as an approach toward the understanding; it is merely a somewhat systematized set of speculations as to how such an approach ought to be made.” [von Neumann, 1958 p.”

“The Mind is a computational structure which results from the mixture of Genes, Cultures and Consciousness. While these three interact in complex ways, they are ultimately computational systems on their own which appeared at different stages of history and which follow their own selective processes operating at different time scales.”
