34461 Y100 A Timid Baboon -
Q&@
ONE
WHOSE ALGORITHMS
OVERESTIMATE DANGERS -
WILL STARVE TO DEATH, & THE GENES
THAT SHAPES THESE COWARDLY ALGORITHMS WILL PERISH WITH HIM.
A rash baboon - one whose algorithms underestimate dangers - will fall prey
to the lion, and his reckless genes will fail to make it to the next generation...
These algorithms undergo constant quality control by natural selection. Only animals that calculate
probabilities correctly leave offspring behind. Yet this is all very abstract! How exactly does a baboon
calculate probabilities? Hé certainly doesn't draw a pencil from behind his ear, a notebook from a
back pocket, and start computing running speeds and energy levels with a calculator. Rather, the
baboon's entire body is the calculator! What we call sensations and emotions are in fact algorithms!!
The baboon FÉÉLS hùnger, FÉÉLS fear & trèmbling at the sight of the lion, and he FÉÉLS his mouth
watering @ the síght of the bananas! And within a split second, he experiences a storm of sensations,
emotions & desires, which ìs nothing but the process of calculation. The result will appear as a
feeling: the baboon will suddenly feel his spirit rising, his hairs standing on end, his muscles tensing,
his chest expanding, & he will inhale a big breath, ànd 'Forward! I can dó ìt! Tó the bananas!'
Alternatively, he may be overcome by fear, his shoulders will droop, his stomach will turn, his legs
will give way, and 'Mama! A lion! Hèlp!' Sometimes the probabilities match so evenly that it is very
hard to decide. This too will manifest itself as a feeling.
The baboon will feel confused & indecisive...
'Yes... No... Yes... No... Damn!
I don't knów whàt tó dó!'
