Artificial Intelligence & Natural Intelligence: What is the Difference and Why Does it Matter?

[@jeffbarney3584]

These videos are a great resource and am sharing here in central NC around our Waldorf community. You mentioned the threefold structure in relation to how we organize and perform informed by the three spheres. Also you spoke of natural intelligence as embodied. I wonder if you are aware of Steiner's initiative and the work since around what is referred to as the threefold social organism. I have been impressed by the multidimensional nuance when the social ecological environment unique to us humans is seen through the perspective of an organism. Not just any organism but the human organism which includes the rest of our world and is unique to it. Does Kimberton engage in these organizing principles? Having worked with this threefolding for about 20 years in our business it resonates deeply with our community and with our staff mostly in ways not readily apparent and increasingly so with the latter. I believe this is the case because we humans have a threefold embodiment that is inevitably going to be at least reflected in what we bring about if not fully represented. The idea is that there is a lawfulness in each of the realms and in the way they can potentially be cultivated to inter-permeate each other just as say healthy nervous, circulatory, and metabolic systems do when given the proper environment and inputs and expressions. I love that you emphasize the need for the spiritual cultural sphere (superstructure) to be re-enlivened. I am sure you have seen in education (a spiritual/cultural endeavor) how this works as relates to vibrant economic and socially hygenic spheres. And we have all seen what happens when it doesn't when the inherent reality of value is ignored or dominated by the other two. Thanks for this offering. I look forward to looking into the resources that inspired you beyond the sublime Zak Stein - especially Jill Nephew. One of the many works by Steiner on the threefold reality is my favorite for its comprehensiveness. It's called Spiritual Science as a Foundation for Social Forms. It deals with morphology of the social organism in context of the evolution of consciousness while tying this to the threefold embodied human being. It also warns to put it in Barfieldian terms, of the idolatry of ideologies that capture us when we do not remember our pre-ancient heritage. He also somehow manages to tie in the problem of pragmatism. I refer to this work because it deals well with what you refer to as the abstraction/extraction problem.
