Geneosophy and Bergson's philosophy
I find it useful to be able to compare Geneosophy with the thought of other thinkers. It is a bit like being able to discuss with Bergson, at least as close as it gets.

Consciousness, the elephant in the room
Consciousness is the holy grail of our quest to comprehend who we are. We feel conscious, there is no doubt about it. But understanding consciousness has been outside our reach so far. It is a strange state of affairs, we have elucidated so many mysteries about the world, thanks to
The temples
Science is considered to be at the pinnacle of human achievements, a truth seeking enterprise of rationality and objectivity, based on the scientific method introduced by Galileo. Given the innumerable successes of science, one does not feel the need to take a leap of faith when embarking in the scientific
Things, to be and the computer metaphor
From birth, we learn to communicate through language—but language misleads us. It convinces us that we truly know what things are, that we comprehend the abstract essence of a thing. This illusion shapes how we think about the mind: we imagine it as a cognitive thing that can be
The journey
Metaphorically speaking, understanding Geneosophy requires embarking on a voyage to explore a previously unknown continent and dedicating oneself to learn the habits, customs and laws of the local population. It is an impossible journey for those who do not like to travel, those who are happy with their beliefs, those
The Puzzle Without a Picture: Why Geneosophy is Needed
The metaphor of the puzzle can be applied to any science, though it becomes particularly vivid in neuroscience. In neuroscience, we work with a multitude of objects considered central to the field: neurons, brain structures such as the cortex, hippocampus, and basal ganglia; and, at a smaller scale, neurotransmitters, proteins,
Formal Geneosophy
It seems like all the bits and pieces of the formal Geneosophic approach are in place. We are now able to seamlessly move from Conceptual Geneosophy to formal Geneosophy in an essential and coherent way. Formal Geneosophy is extremely simple, once you have developed your own Geneosophic concepts. And yet
Taking a step backward to move forward
Plato had a strong intuition, but he did not turn it into a rational way to define concepts. Aristotle settled for a way to describe objects. Geneosophy deals with concepts.
Vital fluids, hydraulics and computers
I find it fascinating that books are being written about the future of life and intelligence. And yet, today, we don’t even have a shred of understanding of how to define life or intelligence—not even an understanding of why we haven’t yet found a way to characterize
Geneosophy
10 years ago, I started a journey with the goal of fixing the Internet (Web and Apps). I took a detour into Philosophy, Neuroscience, Mathematics and Programming. And in the past 2 years, with some help as a sounding board, I ended up facing a new Worldview. I now see
Understanding ...
That feeling when you understand a discovery you made years ago. That feeling when you understand what discovery means. That feeling when you understand what understanding means. That feeling when you understand what meaning means.
Philosophy matters
That feeling when you realize that Aristotle shaped our thinking in subtle ways that are extremely hard to disentangle. The implicit is the enemy of understanding, before defeating it, one must make it explicit.
