You guys don't make any kind of sense

Sensemaking is the ability or attempt to make sense of an ambiguous situation. More exactly, sensemaking is the process of creating situational awareness and understanding in situations of high complexity or uncertainty in order to make decisions.

---

That's true and it is "a motivated, continuous effort to understand connections (which can be among people, places, and events) in order to anticipate their trajectories and act effectively.

In individuals, sensemaking is the largely cognitive activity of constructing a hypothetical mental model of the current situation and how it might evolve over time, what threats and opportunities for each action are likely to emerge from this evolution, what potential actions can be taken in response, what the projected outcomes of those responses are, and what values drive the choice of future action.

In organizations, sensemaking is a collaborative process of creating shared awareness and understanding out of different individuals' perspectives and varied interests.

---

The process of moving from situational awareness in individuals to shared awareness and understanding to collaborative decision-making can be considered a socio-cognitive activity in that the individual’s cognitive activities are directly impacted by the social nature of the exchange and vice versa.

You said it, pal.

Dear zamfir, you should rather supply the link and put your text in quotes from your references rather than writing it without copyright notice.

Senses are subjective as a scale, but we are impacted by a thing that unites that, it's called English and common sense. Not everyone has them, making the discussion difficult. However we can come down to a common subject if we devote some thinking in our philosophical area, something which you have ignored for the most part (I have to agree that some of your points, while good, have already been said).

Alas Heroes has no place in a philosophical discussion like this.

---

It doesn't, but you invoked English or common sense as the force who keeps the community together. You are wrong, Heroes keeps us uniffied, and it acts like aglue that fills the holes left by English
and common sense. If you are so kind to read my psot again, you'll notice that I said that Heroes keeps us together, not that it has something to do with this 'phylosophical' discussion.

I meant english as a form of LIMITED communication. When one can't express what he feels with one "invented" word that only he understands, he has to use common building blocks found in the english language. This is so everyone else that doesn't share the ideas can understand to a certain degree.

If all is relative, maybe only the "I" counts and creates everything so to speak. There is no "absolute" Universe, it has been demonstrated, or we are incapable of knowing it -- thus making you have no arguments at all as to why you "think" there is an absolute one, since it is impossible to prove. Everything is my creation, or your creation, etc??

But is it not all your creation?

A high end processor usually, if built on the same techniques but with more power, uses more energy. This energy, then, is WASTED by the software because it is designed bloated or wrong. It is not only less "intelligent" but also you see, uses a lot more power for the same stuff. In fact, let's say that he not only solves your problem but also gives you heat. Is that ok? Of course it isn't intelligent, since you don't even want heat (it's why you have coolers right?). Therefore, it is less intelligent.

But it fulfills its purpose (running the program) more quickly, thus it is more performant. We're not talking about the heat, since that doesn't affect things either way (unless it overheats, of course).

I understand that very well, however in forums, people make typos or are lazy to press shift. Another reason would be that I was not talking about the words themselves, but about their meanings.

Please clarify, with my ideas about it, how it contradicts my view. What is "outside" is only what the subconscious makes you believe -- truth be told, if you could command your subconscious you'll probably be able to "shape the world".

I'm afraid you missed the true reason. The new generation lacks culture, spends all day in the front of the computer and mispells usual words. I presumed that The Death was atemporal, yet you act like any usual youngster:

1) You lack culture and your ideas are actually banal, and you try to impress me by using words with more than three letters.

2) You misspel usual words, invoking some pathetic reasons. You're lazy, huh?

3) You spend all day in front of the computer.

The difference is that this is not a "dream" where you create the world yourself and nobody else is included. In this world, there are A LOT of people, you are not more "special" than them, and you CAN'T shape the world however you want. NOBODY can.

What makes you so sure you are not my creation, or that I am YOUR creation?

To take it religiously (because I know you're religious): because we are all God's creations. End of Story.

I do know, however, that all of us are inter-connected, since there is no "space" in the spirit's dimension, thus all of us stay in the same place.

Define "seriously'? Relativity was once a "not serious" discussions. Philosophers need to take upon such subjects even when they are not accepted by the general population above age 5

---

It's spelled SIRIOUS!!! Tell him, The Death.
I agree with you, tough. Nobody above the age of 5 would think so. I see a geniu's mind in work here, and you're not onl smart, but you can generalize. Ignore The Death, he's just jealous.

---

It DOES affect, since it takes more power. If the program is made to WASTE and re-calculate everything 100 times instead of once, then it takes up 100 more energy for the same output. Where has the rest of the energy went? To heat.

is heat what we want to accomplish? No, since that way we wouldn't need coolers. Thus, it is not "intelligent" or "performant".

---

Hmm, that's indeed intruiging. Let me see if I got it: if the program recalculate everything 100 times it wastes 100 times more energy? I think I know why my programs where lame: I made them recalculate verything 100 times to be sure that the answers are right. At least the program obtained good values: I have all the 100 results stored in My Documents.
