#vegetarian   #vegan   #evolution   Originally shared by Sean P. O. MacCath-Moran +Eve Volve: "Meat allowed us to evolve" Really? I think you're mistaken to believe this is a certainty, but what causes you to believe this is so, +Eve Volve ? As I understand it, there have been healthy, thriving vegetarians and vegans for as long as there have been humans. Some were so due to moral or ethical concerns, others due to resource utilization issues, others due to cultural taboos. All other factors being equal, the veg(etari)ans have thrived, and continue to do so. For some more recent historical examples of vegans, we can look at Pythagoras, the "Pythagoreans" (as vegans were called for the following 1300 years), along with a plethora of like-minded contemporaries (e.g. goo.gl/lgDBL ). Buddhists, Jainists, et al., have been doing grand as veg(etari)ans since around the 6th century BCE. Prior to this, there's compelling reason to believe that most people were veg...

Good Bye

Good Bye Hi, plussers! It is very sad that we have to say good bye here, it's still hard to believe Google killed Google+, a shame! How can #Google lose something with such potential.. again! It seems they need better people working for them. It was wonderful while it lasted.. specially at the beginning when we had more tools available. Let's keep in touch ok? I have had a great time here, with amazing circlers, and would love to see you all again! At the moment I'm more active on #Minds, but I've also created an account on #YouMe today to try it out, and I also have #Twitter. Add me! Farewell.. https://www.minds.com/JessicaMeyer https://www.youme.social/-JessicaMeyer https://twitter.com/jessy_meyer update https://jessymeyer.blogspot.com/ https://mewe.com/i/jessica_meyer #signalflare https://www.minds.com/JessicaMeyer

#artificialintelligence   Originally shared by Gideon Rosenblatt Knowledge and Artificial Intelligence I just hit the publish button on this one, and I think it may be one of my better articles in a while. It's an attempt at a bigger perspective on what's happening with things like Deep Learning (and other forms of machine learning and artificial intelligence), as well as Google's Knowledge Graph and even its "Knowledge Vault ." In this piece, I try to explain how these new technologies fit together. I also try to show how  these latest breakthroughs are still part of a long arch in human history, a continuation of our efforts to pull tacit knowledge from the biology of our minds and bodies and embed it as explicit knowledge into a new container.  I hope you enjoy this one. I enjoyed writing it.  #knowledge   #knowledgegraph   #artificialintelligence   #knowledgevault   People I believe might be interested in this one because of past comments or posts: D...
