Bitcoin And Satoshi’s Seed: From Descartes To Quantum Play
進一步探索動態 Bitcoin 和玩耍，我們發現混亂是創造潛力的必要條件。
“We are powerfully imprisoned in these Dark Ages simply by the terms in which we have been conditioned to think.” — Buckminster Fuller
太多 Bitcoin呃，“Bitcoin 是希望”，前途一片光明。 然而，對於許多非Bitcoin 人們現在。 儘管如此，我認為 Bitcoin錯誤和非Bitcoin讀者都同意，我們的集體經驗目前感覺陷入困境。 我們的世界已迅速陷入嚴重的兩極分化，即使在今天的混亂、恐懼和混亂中，大多數人也能指責並輕鬆找出問題所在。 雖然我們的許多“領導人”似乎通過簡單地提供更有力的指責來利用社會上普遍存在的指責，但我們的政治官僚無法站出來履行獨立、創造性的問題解決者的角色。 我們 Bitcoin 平民百姓通過 Bitcoin 當我們試圖“橙色藥丸”給朋友和家人時，他們經常試圖通過提供另一種、有洞察力和分析性的敘述來提供幫助。 但就像地下室裡瘋狂的阿姨一樣，我們經常被禮貌地忽視、嘲笑，有時甚至被公然誹謗。
Humans are biologically diverse analog creatures, yet here we are living in an ever-increasingly digital world of ones and zeros of a design not fully of our own making. Could this disconnect and lack of attunement between the more nuanced biologic analog and the binary digital be the basis of, or at least have something to do with, today’s culturally chaotic zeitgeist? It’s definitely worth exploring.
The cognitive bias of science, business and technology have long valued the idea of numeration: “If it can be measured, it can be managed.” Others have taken this ethos further and asserted that if something cannot be measured and managed, then it has no “value.” And while that may make pragmatic, logical sense to some, the artist in every soul knows the smell of puppies, an act of kind compassion or the spiritual touch of a glorious sunset are all immeasurable, invaluable and highly memorable aspects of life. The truth is that which is immeasurable and motivationally inspirational in life paradoxically makes life “worth” living. The value is subjective and uniquely individual to each of us. And very importantly, that which we inherently value intrinsically motivates us. Basic instinctual drives and intrinsic motivations emanate from ancient survival centers of the brain, and being precognitive, are not primarily logical or rational. If human behaviors are not driven by mere cognition and logic, why is not more value placed on exploring and developing affective computational design attuned to how humans naturally engage? Could it be that the infatuation with measurement has precluded engineers from venturing into the “immeasurable?”
如果我們的世界越來越缺乏激發敬畏並使我們成為人類的東西，而是通過外生和標準化的數字平台通過衡量表現來奴役我們的身心，那麼我們將繼續經歷越來越多的精神疾病、疾病和社會不適。 大自然母親正在向我們發出明確的信息。 我們在註意和傾聽嗎？ 我們是否與自己、自然和彼此協調一致？ 或者我們是在享樂地逃避，還是在兩極化的恐懼中憤怒和收縮？ 在一個日益集中化、二元化和數字化的世界中，我們如何打破我們的控制鏈並主張我們的人性和自我主權，在這個世界中，我們的行為和表現是使用外生標準來衡量和排他性評估的？ 能 Bitcoin 解決這個問題？
“The conquest of nature is to be achieved through number and measure.” — Rene Descartes
Our powerful digital computation sits on the shoulders of the 17th century Age of Reason’s father of Western binary thinking, Rene Descartes (1596–1650). The Cartesian mechanistic view of the material world believed that man was the only dualistic creature, consisting of the separation between body (matter) and mind, while relegating the animals to the lower mechanistic world of nature’s laws and instinct. In 1637, Descartes introduced his “Discourses” that the world is like a machine, that its parts could be removed and individually studied and then reassembled again to see the larger picture, sans sensory inputs. This rational reductionism comprises most of contemporary thought and science, including today’s computational science and design/engineering.
Coupled with industrialization and its global scaling of mass-produced goods and services, the technological outcomes from Cartesian legacy thinking have been nothing less than astounding. The avant-garde Cartesian epistemology and mechanistic thinking that led to these seemingly miraculous outcomes cannot be effectively argued as not having served the mass of humanity and raised our quality of life across the globe.
Yet despite all our advances and thanks to the great thinkers and scientists — from the dualistic Descartes to the certainty of Newtonian physics and many more — here we are. We have hit the wall. All that we once knew, trusted and believed appears to be rapidly unraveling or fake. Amid all of the abundance made possible by measurement, science and industrial scaling, families and communities are being torn apart, children are tethered to digital devices unable to freely play, and enforced compliance to overt and covert centralized authority erodes our basic human liberties.
“Totalitarian thought asks us to consider, much less accept, only one hypothesis at a time.” — Nick Szabo
那麼，作為獨特的個體，我們如何才能擺脫困境，擺脫困境呢？ 當我們尋求與新興的去信任自治自治系統的對應和協調時，我們如何探索不確定性的細微差別並重新創造自己？ 我們可以為此設計嗎 Bitcoin?
密碼學家尼克·薩博 (Nick Szabo) 早年 Bitcoin 開發人員和傑出的博學家，建議我們實踐“量子思想”，並在 2012 年的一篇博文中寫道：
“……量子思想……要求我們同時考慮經常相互矛盾的可能性。 只考慮和提出一方的論點會給一個人的思想和散文一種錯誤的一致性：思想和交流的謬誤……。 如果你不能或不願意以這種量子或學術的方式思考，你的想法就不太可能值得別人考慮。”
Szabo’s “quantum thought” celebrates the value of seeing things from divergent perspectives. It is predicated upon human thought, cognition itself, as perhaps the pivotal means for potential creative outcomes.
However, unlike quantum thought, binary thinking simplifies complex ideas or concepts and relegates them into one side or another. It disregards and devalues the gray area, the uncertain nuance in the middle. Binary thinking may appear to provide certainty during uncertain times and perhaps provides needed affirmation or a sense of belonging to a group. However, binary thinking can narrow us into a stuck, dogmatic rigidity that can quickly lead to polarization and conflict.
Consider instead the dialectic or the Venn diagram. It is the middle area, where one idea or concept converges or overlaps with another, where the real value is. This seemingly chaotic and often-times uncomfortable convergence of ideas and concepts is where the Holy Grail of creative potential resides. This is the playful exploratory engagement from which creative growth and transformation spring. Play, as 在這裡定義, is the first principle of self-generated, self-motivated and self-sustaining engagement design, whereas gaming and behaviorist design are not.
“I dwell in possibility.” — Emily Dickinson
你開始看到整個遊戲和 Bitcoin 是相互關聯的嗎？
A fundamental premise of chaos and emergence theory is that as systems display more entropy and become more chaotic, self-organizing patterns of complexity begin to emerge. As Nietzsche once insightfully said, “One must have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.”
現在還早。 但有跡象表明，我們正處於“陣痛”之中，正在催生新的去中心化和去中介化的“量子時代”。 的出現 Bitcoin 是一個明顯而有說服力的跡象。 傳統的笛卡爾思想和牛頓物理學起作用並為我們提供確定性，直到它們不起作用。 因此，如果我們希望涉足不確定的邊界——灰色的、不可估量的、微妙的和不准確的領域——我們就需要發揮作用。 如果人類要探索悖論的宇宙並將兩個或多個不同和相反的想法或概念放在一起而不發瘋，我們必須開始審視 玩 differently and with open, softer eyes.
In doing so, we will discover that play is literally the means by which humans develop psychological and individual self-sovereignty. Play is nature’s fundamental, first principles design for engagement and it’s how nature signals to us whether we are in attunement with ourselves and our environment, hence play gauges and promotes our sustainability. By looking closely through the lens of play science, which I have been doing for over 13-plus years, one can see play as nature’s meta-guidance and reward system. Those who play, adapt, create and thrive are rewarded with countless health benefits. Those who do not become rigid, stunted, ill-adapted and are inevitably superseded by playful creative innovators. Play drives evolution. It is not optional or trivial. Knowing what play is, and is not, is fundamental to authentically engage in this world and recreating ourselves.
雖然在我們新興的量子時代還有很多與遊戲相關的討論和探索 Bitcoin 應用程序設計，請允許我開門見山，最後放棄我多年前撰寫和發表的一些原創的、有爭議的見解，你現在可以開玩笑地自己進一步思考這些見解：
“Play (itself) may serve as the ‘strange attractor’ that self-organizes the ever-increasing complexity within chaos. Play resides in both Newtonian and quantum systems as demonstrated by attunement (deep engagement of one with some ‘other’ — a person, object, activity, etc.) and entanglement (wave-particle superposition). Ongoing research into play may find play as a fractal strange attractor and organizing principle for both attunement and entanglement. Perhaps one day we will discover that play serves as the strange attractor between attunement and entanglement, the Newtonian and quantum, and as a major organizing principle of the uni/multiverse. This appears to ‘fit,’ since play is the genesis of creativity (there is no creativity without play), is iterative, and elegant in its simplicity of recreative design. Truly, it is only by being playful that we can even begin to conceive of the paradoxical nature of the universe.”
對遊戲以及遊戲的各種模式和狀態的更深入理解將直接應用於遊戲的開發 Bitcoin 分佈式、非中介、點對點參與設計。 我大膽地斷言，玩耍對於 Bitcoin新興的自治、身份和非中介社交媒體和遊戲設計應用程序。 通過整合所有人已經從本質上和直覺上理解的普遍“遊戲規則”，我們更接近一個我們不僅擁有“人性化技術”，而且我們將人性放回作為人類的意義的時代。
