Born to do Math 66 – Helen Fisher

Born to do Math 66 – Helen Fisher
Scott Douglas Jacobsen & Rick Rosner
June 22, 2017

[Beginning of recorded material]

Scott Douglas Jacobsen: The frames can be mixed up too. There’s a biological anthropologist named Helen Fisher. She studies love. She studies long-term love with three separate concepts, but then ties this to different personalities and different dominant neural circuits, and the neurotransmitters, associated with it.

She has this nice scaling up. She applies this to statistical models. O believe she has been an advisor for Match.com. There are cool things that you can do. But I think it also helps separate the “wheat from the chaff.” You can differentiate that kind of anthropological work and biological work from pseudo-work like the Law of Attraction.

That appear to be popular in America and are bogus.

Rosner: You mean Oprah’s The Secret. You think positive thoughts and so on. Yea, that’s just bullshit. There are actual mechanisms for making it happen. There are all sorts of ways of talking about falling in love. You can talk abut evolutionary theory and sociobiology.


There is shorthand stuff, like for middle school or high school. Hot people will hook up with each other. IN 8th grade and 9th grade, the pioneers in hooking up are, for the most part, the very coolest kids. They have the highest demonstrated value.

Born to do Math 65 – Errol Morris

Born to do Math 65 – Errol Morris
Scott Douglas Jacobsen & Rick Rosner
June 15, 2017

[Beginning of recorded material]

Scott Douglas Jacobsen: Do you remember when we were talking about Errol Morris a little while ago?

Rick Rosner: Yup.

Jacobsen: So, his idea of the framing of a photo. Usually, when talking about a universe of discourse, it is a well-defined set of parameters for discussion on a topic within traditionally well-defined fields. IC lenses are fuzzy lenses, it is continually keeping in mind what is outside of the frame in a fuzzy way.

If it is biology, you understand, at the end of the day, that this has an underlying root in physics. It is just that this is a more convenient way to talk about this scale of organization. So, you use these scales and these stories.

Rosner: Yea, you talk about couples falling in love with mating behaviours rather than the biology or chemistry of it with the release of serotonin. You could go farther with out serotonin and dopamine work to regulate synaptic whatever, and then you can take it further and further down into the constituent molecules, but at that point you’ve gone way too far.

You are way out of the context of couples forming for most discussions. Some people’s jobs are to talk about the chemistry and biology and feelings of falling in love, but you don’t need to go that far when you’re talking about falling in love – within a…

If you’re asking someone for help about how to write a romantic comedy, the chemistry and biology may not come up.

Born to do Math 64 – IC Narratives

Born to do Math 64 – IC Narratives
Scott Douglas Jacobsen & Rick Rosner
June 8, 2017

[Beginning of recorded material]

Scott Douglas Jacobsen: One thing from IC are narratives or stories that describes things relevant to your informational framework.

Rick Rosner: That may just be a general idea from philosophy. If you want to explain something, then you want to explain something that is most appropriate to the context, where people expect that all of biology and all of chemistry will eventually be able to be boiled down or eventually built up from physics.

That includes that we as natural humans do. So, physics would not only include the hard sciences but the soft sciences like psychology. You can run this back to how atoms behave. That kind of idea that everything would boil down to physics probably inspires some people to be fearful that biology and chemistry would go away.


That probably wouldn’t be the case. You mentioned – off-tape – a universe of discourse, which probably means everything gets its own context.

Born to do Math 63 – More on the Reasons

Born to do Math 63 – More on the Reasons
Scott Douglas Jacobsen & Rick Rosner
June 1, 2017

[Beginning of recorded material]

Rick Rosner: If the universe - if particles  are made of - is made of information, then why? Why do we have to think that? Particles can be made of anything, at least in naive first glance. Why information?

Without going into some rock bottom foundation philosophical thinking, one why is particles must be made of information because that is what they appear to be made out of. That there are a lot of fundamental particles or elementary particles or subatomic particles.

That are nakedly just information. that don't have any moving parts. That aren't anything but the mathematical description of what they are: photons, electrons - don't have, as far as we know or all evidence, smaller constituent elements.

Protons and neutrons have been found to be not fundamental. Protons and neutrons have been shown to consist of quarks plus the particles that hold the quarks together. So they are kind of complicated, but electrons appear to be just point-wise particles.

That exist in the form of probability clouds.
