Not really. His claim of "Islam" inventions of mathematics were logically, incorrect. He gave the credit of algebra to "Muslims" when he should've said MOORS. I think because the Europeans reported that the Moors were Black and sometimes used the ARABIC Alphabet. None of the books that were in spain, were found in Turkey/Arabia. He depicted authors of these text as being ARABS, when the only connections to southern Europe were Blackfolks, Moors. Not Saracen (Arabs). No treatment on computers or electronic history ever mention Lewis Latimer, an American Blackman who invented the 1st semiconductor device, the carbon filament. Ironically, used by the slaves to keep warm. According to history, Lewis Latimer more than likely invented the telephone too! When Edison and Graham Bell went to court over the patent, Lewis Latimer was who got on the stand and explained the telphone's operation to the court, not Bell. History says that Lewis Latimer only "Drafted" the blueprints of the telephone. They also downplay the Carbon Filament of being a Semiconductor, which it most certainly is, according to my Chemistry textbook. They also refuse to mention the tug of war between Bell and Edison over Latimer. Seeing all of the early computers using tubes, will testify that Lewis Latimer's use of the carbon filament made electronic computing possible. This guy is a FRAUD. Arabs never admit Arabic is an alphabet, not a language. No 2 countries in the "Middle East" speak the same language, but they use the same alphabet, the same way English, French and German does. In fact, the ARABIC ALPHABET was not standardized unit the last 100 years! Because that's how long they had a printing press, supplied by the British. Any "Arabic" books before that time, had to be handwritten and were not standardized. That's how you know the Quran is NOT a 1400 year old book, let alone 300! The Quran maybe 120 years old at the time of this writing. So, how is it that the Arabs could be credited with all of these mathematical discoveries? How can American Slaves contribute more to science than the Arabs?

I think of in-forming as the act of locating the data we sensed of our lived experience in internally determined neural networks, sometimes strengthening them, sometimes creating new ones, in an individual’s evolving sociocultural memory. The in-formation discussed here, I believe, is better described as data. Recognisable sequences of sound-shapes (letters in English, characters in Japanese, Braille, images, and so on) are data rather than in-formation. Data are external to each individual, while in-forming (the act of constructing an evolving sociocultural memory) is internal, personal, unique, situational and evanescent; evanescent in the sense of emerging when sound-shapes trigger their recall, and dissipating as conscious focus shifts to a different ‘trigger’. As I say ‘frog’, your memory (the sum of your cumulative sociocultural memory) emerges to help you navigate the idea of a frog. But while you’re thinking about what you believe about frogs, you’re not thinking about Formula 1 racing. Now you are because I triggered your sociocultural memory, and your ‘frog’ has receded from conscious thought but is retained in memory for later. I prefer to think of the universe as replete with data we are able to sense, rather than in-formation, although I acknowledge how different disciplines use language-as-code to make sense of the data each of us experiences uniquely.

Not data, but the building blocks of noise(disorder) ->data->information is discussed here. It is a scientific way to make sense of vague philosophical ideas into concrete measurable and repeatable events with controllable precision. So, definitely it is the information theory that is discussed here, not only data.

@@zahid1909 I note your belief. Thanks. Mine is that language is socially constructed and inadequate to the task of accounting for the experienced world. The weakness of language is its reliance on sociocultural memory. I believe it is in the form of an evolving memory that we in-form our experience; that outside the conscious individual exist only data. Simply referring to data as an information theory is but one way language fails us. As an ordinary language philosopher, I see many ways in which various interest groups use language to build theories, yet testability does not prove that data are information. Choosing to refer to data as information is, I believe, a social choice rather than an objective one, at least in my opinion, which stems from a belief that in-formation can be understood from a variety of perspectives.

@Peter Treblico I think that you have entirely missed the point of Mr. Khalili's work in this video. As an "ordinary language philosopher" you are endlessly and needlessly confounding the subject into oblivion. A perfect example of which is your hyphenation of the word "information". If the use of a hyphen is to combine two words or parts of words while avoiding confusion or ambiguity, I dare not ask you to explain yourself, simply for fear of your answer, lol. However, this is all just my opinion, and I must admit to saying all of this to you in harmless jest. 😂😂😂

@@UriahGiles Thanks Uriah. All noted. My use of in-formation distinguishes the popular sound-shape ‘information’ (which makes little sense to me as a constructivist) from the compound sound-shape ‘in-formation’, which describes the process of adding new experiences to one’s evolving sociocultural memory. In-forming can occur only internally to sentient beings. It’s the process of ‘forming’ new neural networks or connections based on new experience. Such ‘forming’ occurs ‘in’ the individual’s brain, and thus constitutes the process of in-forming. The great and influential commentator on this video, whom I respect immensely, misuses the sound-shape ‘information’ as it is commonly misused…to refer to data, which occur randomly in space-time and which have no meaning as information unless a conscious mind maps it’s pre-existing sociocultural memory onto the data in the process of in-forming the encounter with the data. Once the data have been in-formed by the individual, they acquire meaning (having none intrinsically). In-formed experience of data results in an evolved sociocultural memory. In simple terms, the sound-shape ‘information’ carries implicitly a deterministic implication of its having meaning. Data have no meaning until a consciousness attributes meaning to them. QED (at least in my mind…;))

Maxwell's demon is a thought experiment that would hypothetically violate the second law of thermodynamics. It was proposed by the physicist James Clerk Maxwell in 1867. In his first letter, Maxwell referred to the entity as a "finite being" or a "being who can play a game of skill with the molecules," which Lord Kelvin would later call a "demon." In the thought experiment, a demon controls a small massless door between two chambers of gas. As individual gas molecules (or atoms) approach the door, the demon quickly opens and closes the door to allow only fast-moving molecules to pass through in one direction, and only slow-moving molecules to pass through in the other. Because the kinetic temperature of a gas depends on the velocities of its constituent molecules, the demon's actions cause one chamber to warm up and the other to cool down. This would decrease the total entropy of the system, without applying any work, thereby violating the second law of thermodynamics. The concept of Maxwell's demon has provoked substantial debate in the philosophy of science and theoretical physics, which continues to the present day. It stimulated work on the relationship between thermodynamics and information theory. Most scientists argue, on theoretical grounds, that no practical device can violate the second law in this way. Other researchers have implemented forms of Maxwell's demon in experiments, though they all differ from the thought experiment to some extent and none have been shown to violate the second law.

Today I ran a test that I feel is appropriate to discuss here. I asked ChatGTP what it could tell me about Gilgamesh. After the answer, I asked if it could imitate the shadow of Gilgamesh. The answer was yes. So we talked along these lines: I played Gilgamesh and ChatGTP responded as if he were the hero's shadow. After the conversation I asked if ChatGTP could evolve with this conversation to act as a shadow for its users. The answer was no: it cannot exceed the limits of its programming. I said that a man can overcome his prejudices but he is confined to the historical period in which he lives his life. Then ChatGTP said that a machine learning and a human being is limited and can equally evolve. Confronted with the inconsistency (the machine learning to be like and different from man) and questioned about the meaning of this in the context of the story of Gilgamesh, ChatGTP said that its pattern can be compared to that of the hero's shadow. This new information suggests an evolution, but this is just an illusion. The illusion created by machine learning based on the previous elements of the conversation and its databases is information. But the way one might interpret this information is ambiguous. Ambiguity looks like a black hole that paradoxically transforms one piece of information into an infinite number of different pieces of information. And we are plunged into this black hole. We are made of it.

I'm enjoying this very much, but wondering why you didn't mention Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace? I do miss them, seeing as you even mentioned the first punch cards used in looms, something I new I learned today! 👏😊 On second viewing: can we say that the permanence of information decreases proportional to the technological advancement of the storage medium? Mesopotamian clay tablets can last for millenia, but I have DVDs from the 2000's that have degraded to the point of unplayability today. Granted, that's probably not a maxim, but only due to the relatively cheap and shoddy materials used today, but still, its extremely frustrating. Not to mention the fact that technology is advancing at such a rate that anything that can read older forms of storage media will sooner or later be relegated to museums.

In the first episode of this documentary on BBC TV, Jim talks about thermodynamics.

Chomsky is of the opinion that a child learns speech naturally and cannot be explained, if a Russian child is raised in a Bangladeshi family from childhood, he will learn Bengali just as easily. This capacity to speak is programmed genetically. It is a purely mental process that process thought, turned into speech and stored in tablets by Sumerians. So mental process can store information outside the mind or the cognitive faculty, where the information is fad back to into the mind as knowledge develops. Yet we don't understand how speech develops and how knowledge increases. The theories that represent our knowledge changes and isn't permanent, makes Chomsky think we can never earn knowledge. Einstein is of the opinion that despite all limitations, it is unbelievable that we can comprehend what is incomprehensible.

Sadly the continual move from analogue to digital will create a massive black hole for future scientists and anthropologists

"Pure" information doesn't exist. That's the core of "materialism".

Thought this concept, binary ons and offs, was attributed to Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage... they also said it would have analytical capacities beyond math (in the 1840s). Is this not so?

Binary was never attributed to Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage, Babbage's theoretical machines were base 10, not binary (base 2). Lovelace is credited for coming up with the first programs for Babbage's machines which were never actually built in their times, & did not involve binary.

A nanometer scale Tesla valve hypothetically should rectify the thermal Brownian motion of fluids at the minor cost of slowly eroding the valve's structure thus reversing entropy at a supportable energy cost. There is less interference in streaming forward fluid flow compared with reverse flow without moving parts other than the fluid itself in Nicola Tesla's valve which he patented as "valvular conduit". There is no need of an operations record or the erasing of such information in this system. The operation is deterministic. Aloha Charles M Brown lll Kilauea, Kauai, Hawaii

I study for me. Some might think I'm slow. Of 101% of what's possible in a miniature environment of lights abd forms...to a detail artist...there are no limitations except that the lights stay on. You're fast at what? Slowing down. Perfect.

Sumerian sounds much like Chinese, particularly for loan words, the ideographs are not related to the idea but used for their particular sound

Interestingly, the topic of knowledge was discussed in the comments. I want to make a contribution. The underlying fact of knowledge is security. Knowledge exists when ourism relates to our lives. And because this relationship first emerged in the bells of security, that is, of survival. I am thinking. In this video, only the face of knowledge belonging to the comfort period is shown. Please pay attention to this too.
