I'm amazed that this video has been posted here for almost ten years and no one has, yet, remarked on the fact that the man couldn't get his shirt properly buttoned before he left the house in the morning. Then, you've got to wonder that no one told him, after he got to the office...
buttoning shirts is about as important as a speck of dirt on you rshoe, especially when you're brilliant like this guy. The fact that geniuses don't give a crap about clothes might be a hint that all the time you spend worrying about your clothes is...a complete waste of time.
I like very much Marvin's idea about buffers in the speech area (around 44 mins. in). I think there is also a "buffer" in the thought area - a sort of "dressing room" where nonverbal insights are "dressed" in words and come out as sentences.
If the definition of Real Numbers, (analog line-of-sight correspondence of coherence-cohesion objectives), is the product of e-Inflation instantaneous timing modulation and Pi-bifurcation spacing modulation interference positioning, corresponding-contained, in temporal superposition spin-spiral probability, all-ways of wave-packaging by probabilistic i-reflection superposition.., ->instantaneous trancendental dimensionality coordination/oscillation, ..then WYSIWYG here-now-forever continuous creation connection cause-effect, is "REAL" content of time-timing sync-duration. No-names are good names, because Actuality is QM-TIME wave-particle coordination-identification by pure relative motion, Temporal Holographic e-Pi-i Mathematical Duality. So literal Consciousness is the field of human culture recorded abstractions. (What is Truth? =>QM Field of Study, Physics/Probability, Measurement Problem, for example) Mathematical Disproof Methodology, (elimination of non-logical connection by gradients of Real-time logarithmic Exclusion Principle), applied to Actuality, is something like the Theory of Limit (i-reflection 1-0 probability Dominance) in Calculus of Time Duration Timing, self-defining sync-duration Holographic Principle.., the pulse-evolution Circular Logic of Eternity-now Interval Conception. Intelligence is shared cultural knowledge? Something potentially possible in AM-FM Communication In-form-ation, holographic sync-duration that is Tuned integration of Actuality. "Everything is waves", standing wave-packaging composition here-now-forever, Superspin Superposition-point Singularity AM-FM Timing-spacing coordination Communication. Self-defining Existence of integrated Consciousness, in some aspects.., a whisp of Artificial Intelligence in Actuality. (Food for Thought Experimentalist's applications of practical Intuition, experience in common of Universal connection) Cetaceans operate in big picture Sonar, the sight-sound photon-phonon composition of oceanic space, a naturally extensive Communication band of holographic Existence requiring big brain memory associations. Languages create bubble-modes of isolation in Nomenclatures. Mathematics is the simplest forms of made of making, time-timing sync-duration here-now-forever Calculus..(?) Deductions about how the Universe works are complicated and messy Thinking Fast and Slow, in the ordinary sense of real-time recognition of pulse-evolution phenomena. Just virus mutation and biological clocking of sync-duration in this Eternity-now Interval Conception is intricate enough to occupy several Fields of Study.
@Molochness I scanned the comments to see if anyone mentioned this, and you, sir, are the only one : indicative of our “Jerry Springer/American Idol” society
