SUMMARY:AI: Artificial Intelligence or Automated Imbecility? Can machines think and feel?
DESCRIPTION:CLICK HERE TO REGISTER for RECORDING \nThis second webinar squarely confronts the notion of “intelligent” technology. By attending this\, you will learn: \nThinking: the possibility of self-determining the next thought and free will. Searle’s Chinese Room. Machines will never think in the human sense\, and they will never have free will. Sensations and feelings: individuality and subjectivity. Machines will never have sensations and feelings. Mind: thinking\, feeling and willing and the role of the physical brain. Consciousness and self-consciousness. Intelligence and the Turing Test. Electronic chess and Kurzweil’s prophecies. New classifications of intelligence and “Artificial Intelligence”. Should AI mean “Artificial Intelligence” or “Automated Imbecility”? Machine Learning: implementation\, the new programming paradigm\, social problems. Man-machine symbiosis and the “singularity”. The films Artificial Intelligence (by Spielberg) and The Bicentennial Man (by Columbus) and their absurdities. The dangers of considering humans and living beings as machines and how to reverse this trend. \nAfter attending these two webinars you will better understand how to work with: \nThe indications Rudolf Steiner gave concerning technology and how to apply them today.The adversarial powers behind technology\, how to confront and transform them. The necessity of our future and how we can rightly accept these things out of freedom. \nThis is the 2nd part of a 2-part series that includes: \nThe Turing Machine and what computers can and cannot do AI: Artificial Intelligence or Automated Imbecility? Can machines think and feel? \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nMore About the Speaker \nValdemar Setzer is an Anthroposophist and a retired professor of computer science at the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics of the University of São Paulo (USP) where he continues to supervise theses\, research\, and teach. He was Visiting Professor at the Universities of Texas in Austin and at Stuttgart in Germany. He received his doctorate from USP in 1967. He was founder and Director of the Electronic Computing Center at USP\, head of the departments of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at IME\, President of the Undergraduate Committee of IME\, and active in his profession in numerous ways. He has published 12 books (see list on his website) and has published numerous technical articles in national and international magazines and congresses. He has been an invited speaker for events that the Goetheanum.

SUMMARY:Facing the Future Without Fear: 5 Webinars
DESCRIPTION:CLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nThe direction of modern society appears to be sending everyone sliding into the abyss. Rudolf Steiner talked about a period of pandemonium that we must endure. Are we in the autumn of humanity’s earthly evolution? Have we already succumbed to Ahriman? Where is Michael when we need him? \nWe cannot understand society’s issues with materialism. These webinars intend to give Rudolf Steiner’s picture of the future to enable us to face this future without fear\, to be able to act with wisdom in this Technological Age.   \n1/16/22 Webinar 1: Evolution Leads to Ahriman’s Incarnation (recordings available) \n1/23/22 Webinar 2: Transhumanism and the Double  (recordings available)  \n1/30/22 Webinar 3: Sheep and Goats  \n2/06/22 Webinar 4: Spiritual Science’s View of Our Future  \n2/13/22 Webinar 5: Refined Breathing: The New Yoga \nYou will want to attend this webinar series to know: \nWhat were Steiner’s indications about technology?What is the role of technology in human evolution?How do we face the incarnation of Ahriman?What becomes of our Ahrimanic double?What will be unavoidable for our future and what can we do out of freedom?If sexual procreation will end\, how will we carry on?How should we understand and confront the adversarial powersbehind technology and to transform it to the good! \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nFear of the Future grips many today. Such fear is food for Ahriman. \nSpiritual Science can teach us how to stand with enthusiasm in the face of what seems to be a grim future. Our webinar series of 5 webinars give us the means to overcome these fears. I will guide you through the pertinent indications made by Rudolf Steiner about these times. \nCLICK HERE TO JOIN ME
