Do we just learn with age/experience ? Tune your models right.

 

We are currently at a wonderful juncture of time where we are implementing data based learning in our machines, leveraging our understanding on how humans learn and undertake different tasks. Probably, there is a thing or two we humans can remind ourself as well from the data based learning paradigm.

With the retention of knowledge in the form of books and language, the last 1000 years have remarkably expedited the human learning evolution.  It is believed that a person is born with the knowledge of human evolution worth billions of years in a concise representation worth 50 harry potter novel books. It is  a miracle, how so much information is stored in our body in such a concise format in the form of genetics. Though one can argue that majority of tasks like pattern recognition, eating, walking etc. a new born learns from trying out different actions, however, there is a 'big intuition' that a new born is born with, from which it knows about the action of crying for food, following a particular breathing pattern, and above all to be be a reasonable agent to express itself so that other humans can identify if its a red flag or a green flag situation. These axiomatic tasks, are probably extracted from the genetics carried by the baby, transferred from the parents to the baby. 

Here let us assume that our brain consist a logical block that we call candidly as a model and given a particular situation, the model tells us what would be the best action possible so as to get a desired outcome. I believe there is a collection of models that we are born with. Each model corresponds to different topics (activities) and we end up tuning these collections of models based on our lifetime experiences. The starting models would be based on your family/ancestral experiences and are transferred from generations based on their importance in the latest times. The broad classes of different topics may correspond to reasoning, physical activity, relationships etc. Though these classes may seem independent but updating the model of one class could after all result in updating models in other classes. We tend to use the primitive model that we inherit if we have not encountered a type of situation before. Problem with that is given the limited number of experiences and ever evolving social and physical life on this planet, one may come up with an action that is fatal given the current setting. For example, if you do not know what to do when you encounter a tiger in the jungle (maybe run for your life ?), it might cost you your life. A social setting example would be, if you have not lived a particular kind of relationship, some early actions which maybe biased by the primitive model may prove fatal for the relationship. 

Loosely speaking we grow wiser with age based on the assumption of more experiences to learn from, for each of the model topics. However, a young person can outperform the elder person if he/she has more exposure in the corresponding situation. With lack of sample points to learn from, there is the risk of using a primitive model which could be catastrophic for a human. However, luckily we as humans have the power to tune our models right ! Given the four dimensions of space and time, we can explore the dimension of space or travel to collect more sample points to perform satisfyingly well in different facets of life. We can additionally download/add models collected from communication and  knowledge resources of books and other media. Most importantly, even with little data points corresponding to a particular task, our attention/focus to the right samples (maybe using techniques like meditation or procrastination ) could help us retune our models to give the intended results based on the situation. Theoretically speaking, given the right weights, even one successful experience (and other failures) can help you to tune the model right , and even one mistake can tune your model to avoid it in the future. Thus, we can be the best version of ourselves focussing on our right past learning samples.  To continue to be the most evolved species of life known to us, it is essential to tune our models constantly, and consciously choose the right weights for the different experiences to tune our models right. 

My name is lucifer, Please take my hand

They knew my weakness and they shunted me all,
I knew theirs , and I moved into this house
I look into the dark and my eyes swell
It is only my place , where I can dwell.


I always lost to him but now its my day,
You are the first one who makes me feel this way,
Come on in and you will never regret,
changing your life,from what it was before we met.

Welcome to my world lady,
My name is lucifer, Please take my hand

I will give you things,you got never before
you will be thrilled and wont ask for more.
You cannot trust most People for what they say,
and I am not a man of my word , most of them say.


The first thing I give you , my heart and thats all,
the last time it was beating I cannot recall.
The 'sun',the 'moon' , the 'stars' i cannot give,
Instead we can have some fun in the abyss,


But I promise you , one thing and thats for sure
I will not give you an 'illness having no cure',
I promise I will not help you murder your time,
so I won't be with you till, ' the end of your time'.

Welcome to my world lady,
My name is lucifer, Please take my hand

the house of the broken mirrors

I was roaming, searching for an address
searching for some one,
everyday knocking doors,
someone who has the touchstone
to convert my iron ring into that of gold.

Someday I came across an address
a house which looked familiar
and i knew i had found it,
but could not find anyone there
no one there , but mirrors.
I broke the glass and moved out.

I was roaming, searching for an address
searching for some one,
everyday knocking doors,
someone who has the touchstone
to convert my iron ring into that of gold.

Yesterday i woke up with a lot of pain,
I noticed a cut on my finger
took out the crystals of glass from the cut
and a droplet of blood fell on the ring,
the ring of Gold.

random

I think that most of the people that I have seen don’t like judge mental people around them, like most of them don’t want to be judged , same is true with me as well. Generally if I judge a person the differences between me and that person grows and finally I land up aggreviating our differences than increasing the compatibility. Well I think the process of judging should not be applicable to a human being as one human can not judge another person correctly as he is jaundiced vision due to his experiences and prejudices . One creature might have grown in different set of conditions as compared to the other hence leading to the difference of persona and preferences.

The tendency to judge people is generally motivated in me due to the lack of compatibility with them which in turn leads to aggrandization of the problem. Not most people want to hear what anyone finds wrong in them as they feel they are totally correct in their approach which is justified by the learning done by their brains over a period of time from a set of mutually exclusive events which generally differs for each person. The difference in these independent set of events in ones life forms the basis for the compatibility between the two people.

I think the correlation between the set of mutually independent experiences in ones life and the other person is the principle condition of formation of a group or in more vernacular terms friendship. The more similar the set of mutually exclusive events are the more is the compatibility between the people. Once the people with similar sets come in contact there events sets become even more correlated and with increasing time grows the similar learning events hence with time grows the compatibility . Well this growth of compatibility is strictly regulated by the judge mental sense of the person, which is the noticing of the difference between the two sets.

If this sense is highly regulated it can result in the growth of very high compatibility on the other hand if unregulated this inhibits the formation of groups. Hence the more time you give and the degree to which the sense of judging the differences is regulated highly decides the formation of groups among humans.

sky is the limit

Someone said "sky is the limit" and i drove uphill
the valley was tempting as
her lakes of contentment said that they can quench my thirst
her pastures of mediocrity said that they can satisfy my hunger
as i drove uphill
the road grew arrogant , as her features grew sharper
the light was fading as the valley kept luring me into the bed
but i drove onn
I saw a beautiful damsel draped in white sitting by the road
it seemed i had reached the skies
i put on the brakes, my vision disappeared as my car approached her
but i could see through her and i knew it was just a cloud
so i drove onn as someone said "sky is the limit"

The Fort

An Old fort which has lost its glory,
A classroom where only one mouth speaks
feeding 60 rusted brains with moisture,
6 old falling buildings housing the brains
sentenced for five years.

Antiproteins to chew on the dining table,
just sufficient so they wont die.
An old room in the building with the door closed
on the other side lie unheard
50 years of cries of pain,torture
echoed from the cobwebs which disappear in the smoke
and are music to the intoxicated brain.

Two lakh restless brains toiling day and night
to get into the fort
the one which has lost its glory,the same classroom ,
the same building ,the same room ...
I am the one who did the same mistake ....
to get into the Fort :)

theres a bird that sings...

Theres a dead tree not far from my window,
where sometimes sits a bird by her own.

She sings of the grass which was green,
of the glory of the tree,
of her friends whom I cant see
and the place turns to a forest of laughter.

But there is a cold wind that blows,
which opens up the window
slaps me on the chest
and wakes me up from the dream.

Theres a dead tree not far from my window,
where sometimes sits a bird by her own.
