The paraconsistent logic
25
Sep
Kurt Gödel’s paradox, that a complete system is inconsistent was fundamental to
a new phase in formal logical principles, and cooperated with the emergence of the computer.
It was the Peruvian philosopher Francisco Miró Quesada, unknown to many Latin American scholars, who coined the word paraconsistent in 1976.
The Brazilian Newton da Costa who developed this theory has become very important in several areas, including philosophy and Artificial Intelligence. In the figure, the axis to the side that goes from u 0 and u 1 , is called degree of belief, but the truth has points A for consistent and C for inconsistent, having a lot of application to everyday life.
The study applied to semantics mainly explores paradoxes, for example, it can be said that a blind man sees certain circumstances, also the study of different forms of perception and abilities can help the parameters of the deep mind.
We have already stated that neologicism can precisely help AI in this phase of deep intelligence, for example, in the study of natural languages, the language of everyday life.
The idea that A and non-A could exist was inconceivable in Western philosophy, is the principle of the excluded third, which comes from Parmenides and was consolidated in Aristotle. Paraconsistent logics are purposively more “weak,” terms to refer to this break with classical logic, for they solve few valid propositional inferences in the classical sense of logic The logic of paraconsistent languages, however, are more conservative than those of classical counterparts, and this changes Alfred Tarski‘s hierarchy of metalanguage.
The influence on natural language was anticipated in 1984 by Solomon Feferman who stated “… natural language abounds in expressions directly or indirectly self-referential, although seemingly harmless, all of which are excluded from the, because in daily life, in truth we are paraconsistentes.
Deep Mind Advanced Project

Projects that attempted to simulate brain synapses, communication between neurons, were formerly
called neural or neural networks, and had a large development and applications.
Gradually these projects were moving to studies of the mind and the code was being directed to Machine Learning that now using neural networks happened to be called deep learning, an advanced project is Google Brain.
Basically it is a system for the creation and training of neural networks that detect and decipher patterns and correlations in applied systems, although analogous, only imitate the way humans learn and reason about certain patterns.
Deep Learning is a branch of Machine Learning that operates a set of algorithms used to model data in a deep graph (complex networks) with several layers of processing, and that, unlike the training of neural networks, operate with both linear and non-linear patterns .
One platform that works with this concept is Tensor Flow, originated from an earlier project called DistBelief, is now an open source system, released by the Apache 2.0 team in November 2015, Google Brain uses this platform.
In May 2016, Google announced to this system the TPU (Tensor Processing Unit), a programmable artificial intelligence program accelerator with high transfer rate ability for low precision arithmetic (8 bts), which runs models and does not more training as neural networks did, a Deep Compute Engine stage begins.
The second step of this process in Google Compute Engine, the second generation of TPUs achieves up to 180 teraflops (10 ^ 12 floating point operations), and mounted in clusters of 64 TPUs, work up to 11.5 petaflops.
Revolutionary method for videos

Sep
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a method that without human intervention
modifies a video content from one style to another. The method is based on a data processing known as Recycle-GAN that can transform large amounts of video making them useful for movies or documentaries.
The new system can be used for example to color films originally in black and white, some already made like the one shown in the video below, but the techniques were expensive and needed a lot of human effort during working hours.
The process arose from experiences in virtual reality, which in addition to the attempts to create “deep falsities” (altering objects or distorting contents, could appear a person inserted in an image, without it was allowed, in everyday scenes almost always happens this and much people do not accept.
“I think there are a lot of stories to tell,” said Aayush Bansal, a Ph.D. student at the CMU Robotics Institute, who said of a film production that was the main motivation to help design the method, he said, allowing that the films were produced faster and cheaper, and added: “it is a tool for the artist that gives them an initial model that they can improve,” according to the CMU website.
More information on method and videos can be found at Recycle-Gan website.
Brief history of the lie

Sep
People always tell stories in a way that their story seems a little better than it is, understand story
with h are not those of the books, but the facts for which there are artifacts, which in law is called instrumental proof.
One could go in classical antiquity, where we would find Diogenes to look for an honest man with a flashlight, I would say today In times of partisanship, which seem more fanciful football fanatics or some kind of fundamentalist belief, the truth is distorted everywhere, the recent fact in Brazil of the Bolsonaro stab had from conspiracy theories of a poorly executed crime, to whoever defended that it was all a staging, this said by intellectuals … amazing.
In recent history I find the thinker and poet of the Spanish Modernism António Machado y Ruiz, who wrote La verdad is also invented, so fake news are older, what has changed now is that intellectuals of little notoriety and ignorant people can also do so, and with it to gain a false reputation, but it is in fact notoriety.
Antonio Machado y Ruiz and encounter three very interesting phrases: “Never lose contact with the ground because only then will you have an approximate idea of your height”, and “if it is good to live, it is better to dream, and the best is to wake up” , but we should always wake up and sometimes this requires pruning, cuts would say, that the more mature the deeper.
I remember Cecilia Meirelles’s phrase: “I learned from the primroses to let myself be cut and to return always in full,” I also remember the Poem by Mário de Andrade, The Valuable Time of the Mature.
In the novel The Less Traveled Way, Scott Peck makes a statement to think: “It may seem less objectionable to fool the rich than the poor, but it is a mistake. Under the law, there are differences between committing a fraud in a business, handing over the fake income statement, using scrapbooks on a test, or saying at home that you stayed to work late when you are unfaithful. It is true that some mistakes are worse than others, but in reality they are not all lies and betrayals, “he would say in politics, to” believers.”
I remember once again Antonio Machado y Ruiz: “It is proper for men of medium-sized heads to invest against everything that does not fit in their heads,” those who invest the most against others have dogmatic truth, medium wisdom (if any) and arrogance to pounds.
I continue to invest in education that is neither dogmatic nor pragmatic, but the hermeneutics of the one who always doubts and is always open to the thought of the Other.
Sloterdijk’s immunology
28
Aug
Sloterdijk’s immunological concept, well before the process of returning to
nationalism that we have plunged in several countries, and even in Latin America, is not only an individualized explanation of living, but now also of society as a whole.
But Sloterdijk started from the individualized life (or biós, from Greek) that was characterized as a success stage of immune systems, ie, the phase in which the relationship with man with nature was learning, the definition of systemic biology, to explain that there can be no way of life that does not worry about the conservation of their immune structures.
“If we quote the metabiological statement that immune systems would be embodiments of injury expectations or expectations of some harm, it is clear that human cultures, insofar as they represent the totality of preventive procedures – or, we can say, traditions – are elaborated with greater sensitivity against immunity than animal and plant species. And not everyone knows that the concept of immunity was originally not a biological concept, but a jurist, which was used as a metaphor in biology.” (Critique of Cynic Reason, 1983).
Plato had a similar system, but made use of images and analogies in the “pastoral” sphere to talk about the formation of the individual, for Sloterdijk this slosh association between teacher and pastor, students and herd, only dissolved with reformed pedagogies of the twentieth century: “At the time, this happened after World War II, in institutions like Summer Hill, where the student came to be thought of as a self-educated herd” (SLOTERDIJK, 1983)
Sloterdijk adds that the pedagogical question of how to educate the human being is superimposed by an evolutionary biological drama: “The second discovery of the need to form the human being as a human being proper – that is, to immunize him with domestication against his own associability – occurred in the nineteenth century when Charles Darwin placed man at the end of the evolutionary series in his theory on species “(Sloterdijk, 1983), stated in his work.
Our point of view is that there is also a spiritual sphere in which man evolves, his spirit evolves, the Noosphere, as described by this Teilhard Chardin.
How’s civilization going?
24
Aug
The civilization crisis, deep in the West at least, is evident, the retreats with problems of wars,
economies in crisis and cultural and religious intolerance, are increasingly evident, but where are we going?
One must first recognize that in several historical processes there were retreats, one of the clearest cases was the restoration of the monarchy in France, a period that was the fall of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1814 until the Revolution of July, 1830.
Peter Sloterdijk wrote “If Europe awakens” at the turn of the millennium, also criticizing Europe as “the center’s empire,” while Edgar Morin speaks of breaking “with all forms of domination, imperialism, colonialism, living, in relationships with nature, and in the inter-human relationships themselves … “(MORIN, VIVERET, 2013, 45).
However profound cultural changes are in the process, every change arouses a dose of inertia and conservatism, this is our analysis of the rebirth of exaggerated nationalisms (we must differentiate from cultural and ethnic issues that are fair), new forms of concentration of income and of exclusion.
Morin analyzes the process of transformation of modernity as “the process of pacification, of civilization used the danger posed by barbarians, aliens and infidels” (Morin, Viveret, 2013, 57), warning that the pacification process failed , which is also described in Peter Sloterdijk’s main work “Rules for the Human Park,” which was a response to Heidegger’s Letters on Humanism.
As the anthropologist and economist Karl Polanyi warned in “The Great Transformation,” Morin warns of the danger of market societies as opposed to market economies, where he hears a passage of what had value was priceless, “for what has not price has no value “(Morin, Viveret, 2013, 61), where the perverse logic of financial speculation and political corruption destroys economies and nations, not to mention situations of humanitarian crisis across the globe.
It requires deep structural changes: the model of state and democracy, control in the market and services of the new social, restructuring of the educational model that includes transdisciplinarity between diverse areas, and awareness of cultural and religious diversity, among many other necessary .
As the Bible says in John 6:60, “When they heard this, many of his disciples said,” Tough is the word, who can bear it? “This seems well applicable to the present historical moment.

Civilization crisis and technology
23

Discourses of appeal to the strong state, messianic leaders and political techniques already outdated 
are not uncommon, because there are social media in which a discourse can be dissected quickly, although these media themselves may be the cause of truths other than those that central powers want, coming to fake and political hatred.
The old manuals of political management are being reopened by the owners of power, from Lockes, Hobbes to Machiavelli, there is no shortage of speeches appealing to the prudent and skillful “sovereign”, but the important question is: where are they, or rather who are they?
These recipes are having efficacy, right or left, precisely because of the use or misuse of social media mechanisms, again as a “mass control” model, which has been done with Trump and attempts in France, but what attention is the hate speech.
Also in this field there is no shortage of speeches saying that it was the networks that potentiated this, but they did not exist in the time of Hitler, Mussolini and in the versions of Americana Latina: Perón, Getúlio Vargas and others, one could say the radio potentiated this, perhaps, but the essential was the appeal to nationalism and racism that ignited the masses, and he is there again.
By neglecting or misusing new media by making the same discourse as these groups of chains of hatred and emotional appeals do, we are doing nothing but give credence to a vision of hatred, intolerance and xenophobia present also in conventional media : radio, TV and cinema are boosting verbal and material violence.
The reversal of this depends on discourses that undress the truth, we enter the field we explore that it is a time of concealment of the truth, as Sloterdijk says, and to put light, to go to the clearing means to dismantle this culture of cover-ups.
There is corruption, sexism and psychologism in abundance. To disagree with this is not “politically correct,” I am not speaking of intolerance, of course, which we also unveiled when speaking this week of Locke, Voltaire and now also Machiavelli, whose speech affirms that it can not being: “fickle, superficial, effeminate, pusillanimous, indecisive” (MAQUIAVEL, 1996, p.109, brazilian edition).
There is counsel in the Principle how to flee from hatred, to stand firm in adversity, and so on. which makes it good for reading, but communication and media have evolved, you need to at least update it.
Dialogue in intolerance´s times
20
Aug
There is no discussion of proposals and projects, but one tries to silence the voice by disagreeing with
the dramatic appeal to particular facts or situations, and is easy to find precisely because of the anger that has taken over the whole society, but without a calm and reasonable conversation on central themes : education, health and safety, among many undeliverable.
Voltaire and Locke’s Treatises on Tolerance can greatly help, even though they themselves had their own intolerances, the book Cândido de Voltaire, for example, is an irony to the thought of Christian Wolff (1679-1754) a disciple of Leibniz and a reader of Kant.
Voltaire who saw religious fundamentalism take people, groups and even countries to radicalism, proclaimed that it was necessary to “reduce the number of maniacs,” according to Voltaire (2015, p.4) and one way to overcome it was “to subdue this disease from the spirit to the regime of reason, which slowly, but infallibly enlightens men. This reason is gentle, humane, inspires indulgence, smothers discord, strengthens virtue, makes obedience to laws even more pleasing than strength is capable “(ibid.).
His cynicism, Peter Sloterdijk does not directly address it, but refers to all of his time rationalism in “Critique of Cynic Reason”, he said that Voltaire states about the Egyptians that “always turbulent, seditious and cowardly, people who had lynched a Roman for having killed a cat, despicable people under any circumstances, regardless of what the admirers of the pyramids call it “(Voltaire, 2015, 59).
Voltaire shows no trace of generosity, of magnanimity, of beneficence “(Voltaire, 2015, 73); in English Letters or Philosophical Letters, a dehumanized and stereotyped vision of blacks predominates that would be worthy of a racist process today.
Tolerance, which does not signify agreement, is based on the idea that human relations between peoples of different cultures, political and religious conceptions can coexist in such a way that relations between individuals and communities are respectful of the values of the Other. Therefore an ethics of otherness combined with an ontological and anthropological view that we are complex beings and that the relationship with others and with cultures must and can have differences must be based on the idea of diversity rather than uniformity.
What we think about tolerance in the past must be expanded and enriched by diversity.

Tracking in food production
13
Aug
The IoT arrived abruptly in agriculture, had already arrived at some time in the cattle ranch with the tracking of each head of cattle 
individually, now the “suply chain”, technical name for the monitoring of the production chain arrived on time, in the field and agroindustry.
Anvisa (Brazilian National Sanitary Surveillance Agency) and the Ministry of Agriculture begin to oblige the producer to have a more strict control over the use of pesticides, which implies monitoring and tracking throughout the production line starting at the field, but the problems are enormous for the application of the Law.
The automated tracking and tracing system, if properly implemented and well implemented, will provide all key elements and production details throughout the supply chain, enabling manufacturers to better respond to customer demands and food control in a competitive market internationally, those producers who do not fit can lose valuable contracts.
Fresh vegetable products, or their wrappings, cartons, bags and other packaging must now be duly identified in order to allow access by the competent authorities to the records containing the required information.
The identification can be done by means of labels printed with alphanumeric characters, bar code, QR Code, or any other system that allows to identify fresh vegetable products in a unique and unequivocal way.
The traceability of the INC will be monitored by the health surveillance services and the Ministry of Agriculture.
Idealism and the bread of the life
10
Aug
Peter Sloterdijk’s Critique of Cynic Reason of the 80s is a direct allusion to Kant’s classic Critique of Pure Reason,
it is impossible to read in one breath, and also difficult to agree on at first reading, but two things strike my eyes the fact that we live in a time of lost innocence, everything is cruel and cynical, and the fact that we have become “accomplices,” academics and scholars in particular, from a general disorientation, from politics to the sacred.
Sloterdijk works alongside Rüdiger Safranski, biographer of Kant and Heidegger, until 2012, is therefore an attentive and accredited reader for the reading of the current world, and especially for Kant’s critique, in our view the most fundamental of our time.
In a 2016 interview, for Borders of Thought, the philosopher clarifies Feuerbach’s misconception that God is a projection of humanity into heaven, and for Marx, religions would be an erroneous invention of mankind.
Before making a difference between the naive illusion, it exists in the less enlightened layers of society, and the “enlightened false consciousness,” which is its definition of cynicism, makes it clear that religions are part of the more comprehensive (and not the only) which he calls culture.
It is Sloterdijk’s way of explaining that idealism could only do this, I make a shorter way separating subjects from objects is the easiest way to make objects “ideal” including all conceptions of these in cultures (Sloterdijk’s immune systems ) and demand from the subjects an “ideal” behavior of relation to objects.
I make a religious contrast with the bread of life, the concrete food of humanity, for bread is in almost every culture and bread is not a direct food of nature, but wheat “processed” by man, in other words a product human being sacralized as food of life, and that in the pedagogical use of Jesus becomes sacred, without ceasing to be a real object: bread.
In John 6: 49-50 one can read the update of the Manna of the Desert from the time of Moses: Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and yet they died. Here is the bread that comes down from heaven: whoever eats it will never die “, a direct relation between subject and object, which can not even be separated.
