IF_TOP-AUTISM_was_THE_SOURCE
OF_CONSCIENCE_AND_PROGRESS_?
|
AUTISM99, mobilized Tony Blair and three
other
Prime Ministers, and set a "minimum standard" for all congresses
to come. Martijns could defend the "middle class". Cavendish was
chosen as a symbol for "genius because autism".
If you accept AUTISM99
as the "starting block" the next, urgent, step consists in creating a
"Theory
of Mind", which will take account of:
1
/ Three classes of autists, already recognized, then
2
/ Three classes of "initiated"
3 /
A dynamic definition, based on
4 / Two
worlds, " hardware " and " software "
5 / Six
" noodigms "
6 /
What
about this " Theory of Mind"?
7 / Two
origins and
8 / Two
ways
for the future
Which
definition
was used by the promoters of ART(autism)E2000,(Tuesday
6/6/2000, 21h45)? We must deduce it: unknown
specialists,
("Put your questions! they will answer...);
deserving
a "kick-the-tortoise ", none of them ready to accept a
discussion
on the true mystery:
the " signal-autism"
is perhaps the source of any progress...
Satisfied
parents,
(like these winners before the opening of the Fair);
navigation
between Scientology and Lourdes:
"Bring your children, we make Little
Temples
of them... "
A
brushing
for parental culpability:
"If you don't bring them, you will have a
Helle!"
Warning:
"Top-autists"
have a mania , ("liturgy" for the initiates), a need for exactitude:
everything
is checked, patented, to a point that we are labelled
"scientific",
" savants idiots", "petits profs".
1 / Three classes of autists
|
|
In the
"Renaissance
"artist" was just an artful guy and
and Vinci was classified
in
the
Holy
Congregation of
spices and colours merchants .
Analogy for the autism?
|
Class 1: "disturbed children",
(Spanish "trastornado" is more poetic!), which never cure but
don't
die..." . Strange to apply the root "autos",
to people that will never be "autonomous").
Question: how could Mukho jump to the next class;
Class 2: the middle-class socialized with
problems in society...", (people who, often, get along well
thanks to the university umbrella...),
Class 3: "the
Cavendish kind", raising the great question,
"autism as source
of
any progress?"
The autists claiming Einstein, Vinci, (dear
Temple adds Wittgenstein!), must reverse:
"Why the autists
are
not Newtons?
Corollary:
"How to propel "any
Little
Prof" up to this level ?
2 / Three classes of "initiated":
Class
1: "problem-outside diplomocus",
thinking like William James: "the abnormal helps to understand
the normal ." Where is this definition of "NORMAL both
explained
and explaining"?
Class
2: "problem inside-home",
Rimland,
Millcent, Lorna, with sleepless nights... on the level of the
neurogenius
who advances silently, intuitively, (Cambier, Lécuyer,
Soulayrol,
Diebold...)
Class
1: "problem inside": I have
sought
a double of mine for 12 years.
3. A dynamic definition
How to escape to a
definition
on a Theory of Mind resembling "a land delimited by four
shaking
stakes". Spinoza would say: " You require a hammer to make a
hammer!"
In the "hard" world ", a stone is enough. In the "soft" world" , we
start
"an unending Popperian quest", extremely fruitful ", a search for
"toolectuals", like the Table of
Mendeleiev,
a frame ready to receive our three classes, their differences,
and
their evolutions,
3.1 on the left, official criteria of
the
autism...
3.2 in the center, the "signal-aspergers",
3.3 at the extreme right-hand side, the
criteria
which enable me to detect the "top-autist".
The Table will record
phenomena never described, obvious for "inside-problem people", like
the
possible use as protective bell and of self-tuition
in autism, (cf Einstein,
Birger),
in prosopamnesia, (Darwin, me),
and even in epilepsy, (cf Dr.
Diebold).
It will show the
"sublimation"
of criteria like
- the tendency
to
self-destruction, resistance to hunger,
suffering,
cold, heat;
- the
transformation
of the need to move nothing in need, taste, mania,
("liturgy"),
to solve any encountered problems, (cf. Edison, Einstein...), sometimes
interpreted as "scientific spirit" when we only require exact
definitions.
- One will be
able
to follow the progress of Moïses saved by their mother,
and also to locate the " congress-starletts ", (curiously all are girls
while autism prefers boys...)
4 / Two worlds, " hardware " and " software "
"the world of the ideas has more influence
on our lives than the material world",
Good definition, (by Popper), of the
interdependence
of these two worlds, perfectly symbolized by the linguistic
puzzle:
our thought is "spacialised? ("he has a hand in this... you'll
be received with open arms...", even my future is
"in
front of me"!)
But language, essential
to think, will block thought, (Wittgenstein and Saussure tried to
warn us, one century ago!)
Professor
Cambier
pass near the "genius puzzle":
"... PROGRESS is often the work of
geniuses that concealed what they had learned TO GIVE
FREE COURSE TO A THOUGHT WITHOUT LANGUAGE. From
ARCHIMEDES
to EINSTEIN, lots of examples... " (Jean Cambier and Patrick
Verstichel,
" the RECONCILED BRAIN ", Masson 1998.)
I propose to change "concealed"
by "refused established formation". But is "Thought
without language" possible? That's living
in Popper's Second World, not communicating with
society!
I just think that "intuitions" should be the "base" for a true
philosophy...
(Locke smelt it with: "How did Newton's brain work?")
Let' remain in the parallel " hard-soft ", a
bonus in creativity, (help me, Zénon!)
1 / " Software "
is
copied on " Hardware ".
2 / We know Paris better if
we know a bit of France.
3 / Idem in the world of
ideas!
I.E: any definition of an
"object" depends on the quality of the definition of its environment,
of
our cosmology, of our culture; worse,
of our capacity of updating our knowledge, by including any progress in
knowledge. But, it is first of all, necessary to admit a
progress in thinking, (easy if you follow Professor Cambier),
caused
by people refusing the scholastic easy way, following an anxious,
irresistible, (autistic?), need to understand ; and finally obliging us
to change our "certainties", (as an average, it takes 50 years, two
generations!).
Any professor of sciences knows students knowing more math
that Cantor but counting on their fingers, (thanks to the
bicameral
system...)
Whoever overpassed
algebra should admit a progress in thinking. Your next step will be to
admit that great scientists made more for the progress of
philosophy
than all the "philosophers". Therefore we find in the world of
ideas
the rule of Evolution, "Nature
proceeds by changes of nature but using old things to make new ones".
Therefore, the discoveries like gravity or relativity are less
important
than the changes the impose on us... Next question?
How many
soft-jumps,
("noodigms"), in History?
5 / Six noodigms
According to
Einstein,
"creator of "atomOS"), "there are few ideas",
therefore few noodigms, probably only six, (the last, psychOS,
remaining
to be created). Which reduces the immense philosophical nonsense
to the intuitions of a few great scientists. I dream of a philosophy
without
textbooks, no room for problems of the kind: " Why TO BE it
and
not NOTHING?" ( I like the modern puzzle of the "sex of
angels":
" Snow is White IF Snow AND White " and from time to time I
worry
on this " Bald King of France ", only known of British
philosophers...)
Place for
" Why CONSCIENCE and
not
INSTINCT?"
Our definition of "
soft-autism " depends now on our definition of conscience. Prof Damasio
smelt it: "Conscience is not for reading Shakespeare!"
then
fell into "Disputatio inter Pares" and "Publish and get
Rich". Jung, Piaget... proved that the comment of an intuition
dissolves
it. Because this "elaboratio" brings back the "primal vision" at the
cultural
level of its discoverer.
Example of a noodigm?
Number 4, (cosmOS), a cultural change
lived by a scientist, (Newton), which solved an enormous
problem,
(gravity), at the same time creating a language ("calculus")
opening
three centuries of interpretations by true philosophers, (Locke
with "Understanding", refined by Berkeley, Hume, Kant...)
But the big problem for
a "specialist" is
his capacity to
"update"
his mind,
to absorb the last
discoveries
in his representation of the world.
And these progresses seldom
appear in his world.
To speak about autism, it
is necessary to have a " theory of the conscience ", which includes
bicameralism,
Libet's delay line, synesthesia... I smile at the " cognotivist
",
saying he has absorbed the linguistics of Saussure and the data
processing
of Turing....
When Schotty cut a "corpus callosus", and exclaimed: "TWO
consciences ", I rectified, thanks to the experiences
surrounding my "isolation" in hospital.
" ONE conscience,
because
TWO brains... "
I always thought that
this
silent right brain had much to say. Once, I said to a Psy
lady
I could program my right brain. Imagine her reaction! However Freud and
Daughter often mentioned it, without understanding as usual.
I have just spent 30
months to get rid of my curse, "prosopamnesia". IF "faces" are
stored
in the right lobe, (most probable), THEN programming this right
brain,
needed shocks. How to obtain emotional shocks... (I think that the
Sorbonne
sterilized the XXth Century by pushing aside the kind of philosopher
appeared
in XIXth, with a "grain")
Are you shocked
to hear that Freudy an C° are "pre-Zenonian", that Philéas
Damasio
is "pre-Newtonian"...
6 / "Theory of the Mind "?
I've seen a hastily drawn
sketch, for the students coming this afternoon; a dangerous recipe
because
it leads to "partitioned thinking", (the base of any great
criminal
system!), no more serious than the Earth resting on Atlas'
shoulders
and the Giant on the Big Tortoise. What about this key-beast? Spanish
has
a word: "que estire la pata!"
Then " kick-the-tortoise
" and 2000 years of nonsense will fall in the cosmic vacuum. It is
incredible
the quantity of "possible and useful kicks" prepared during
the last 4000 years. We could even change the world with rabelaisian
laughter.
6.1 A Provisional "Theory of the Mind"
Autism is typically
human,
and should be studied from the blastula, (a conscious being, with a
Newton
in potencia), starting on a so twisted a path that the hope of
survival
and arrival is strictly null. The dangers are innumerable, hardware,
(chemical...)
and software, (cultural, social...); before birth, (leaden fumes, hash,
whisky, maternal rubella...) and after, (measles, thalidomide...). Each
cerebral destruction, each excess, each lack, could end in
an irreversible catastrophe.
Autism can therefore
come from the two interactive worlds: "soft" and "hard". Different
causes
producing the same symptoms; and similar symptoms from different
reasons.
I expect that genetics will separate "hard causes", from
"soft
causes" due to the revolt of a mind which loses confidence in, and no
longer
relies on society).
7 / Two origins
Professor
Soulayrol mentioned two similar cases for the
"Mukho
Affair". These "miracles" are so decisive for the future and for
the past that I ask the control that Alexis Carrel imposed in Lourdes.
We
must look to another problem, the next step of evolution for
Mukho.
But after 12 years, blows are not recommended! How,
why,
thanks to what, to whom did Newton evolve? and Branly, and Vinci,
Schopenhauer...
I prefer
Arthur among all, a dandy-sopher with a bit of "intellectual
racism",
not ready to risk his brain for science; with an excuse: so many
"nuts" in his family that he lived waiting for his turn to come.
Why I
prefer
Schopenhauer and understand him better than any philosopher. I easily
imagine
Arthur during a paternal crisis, (perhaps of autism, certainly of
"prosopamnesia").
Who is the true inventor of the "Will"? Arthur, contemplating his
remarkable
father in a crisis. Or Father Phyllis trying to explain his impotence
to
a son for whom he wishes all; to whom he can all give, except a
"normal"
father. From my own experience, I deduced my curious criteria of
"detection
of top-autism". Let me explain:
I am a French product
that only
France, (land of passages and programmed battles), could produce. In my
time, Kanner was unaware of the word " autism". But I cumulate
souvenirs
like my godmother describing me as "an ideal baby: we put to you on
a blanket and you gave us a royal peace...".
Biologically,
I come from a "lucky devil",
(opinion of my grandmother), who, after two or three years of service
spent
four years near Verdun. Never wounded, he lost not a day with nice
nurses.
As a farmer-boy, he carried the supplies and was responsible for the
Great
Mutiny, because he often delivered cold soup. He returned
home
mechanical like a scarecrow, aboulic like a Franciscan monk. What my
father
saw, I don't know: during ethylic crises, he spoke about a Chemin des
Dames
and a Saint Miel.
I don't know if my father could
read: he answered any question: "Not your age!". A child will
stop
asking question. Like Einstein, I hated to play with other
children,
(I still hate all games): I lived in a soft-bubble, a protective
bell. My home was the workshop of my father. My mother would give me
some
pennies to buy nails, got the "royal peace". I became ambidextrous like
Vinci and skilful like Newton. But if I was disturbed, I
became
furious, insulting, vulgar. I remember one unforgettable beating,
the manner of programming the right brain.
I entered school not
when 4 years, as obligatory in France, but when 5 years, 5 months and 5
days. I remember perfectly my first day. Anyway,I
studied the TEN obligatory years in SIX
years
EIGHT months, always the first; and was
admitted
at "holy communion" with a dispense of age, (do you know another
case?), with a neuter mind: religion was just a compulsory and
cautious
custom.
I attribute my mental
survival
to my thirst to learn and my acute sense of justice, wrongly
labelled
jealousy and found in many "labelled perseverating
aspergers".
What my brother had, I required it and got it. This brother chose
another way: he's not idiot, just imprevisible...
Intellectually,
I probably the result of the
"most incredible
crossing
of the last Century"
People of the size of Clémenceau and
Citroen
wanted to implement the "Vision of Uncle Cardinal ", in
1905.
Strange formation, what Voltaire and Diderot got, (and later Scop,
Maine
de Biran...); in an excellent Latin: " Quos vult perdere
Jupiter,
prius dementat!") Lots of mysteries! Why, after 33 years of
considerable
expenditure, and no results, the baron demanded the promised assistant?
why they inverse, trying a kid with a totally neuter religion mind? why
he adopted me so that I become "untouchable"? What did my
"locomotives"
see in me? All died quickly, three of them a violent death. And
first
of all, if I were a "persevering asperger", how did they re-shape me,
without
the stick of Mukho's mother?
Some Frenchmen lived the
"Separation
of 1905" like "June 40". Uncle Cardinal had two remarkable
nephews,
one of them the " baron ", "director of the newspaper done best
according
to the French government". He convinced him to launch a
"newspaper
of reconciliation". In three months, "DEMAIN",
(To-Morrow), was running
with collaborators of class. Success in six months, (translated into a
mystery-sentence : "We had the Queen of Italy!"
How a Voltairian
Great-Bourgeois
could help the Church? by demolishing the terrible Index. He was
terribly prudent but efficient: he asked some English writers to
give "the point of view of the English Catholic church..." The
French
dignitaries had to applaud but the low clergy demanded the
disappearance of this diabolical paper and obtained it, (closing
explained
: "To-Morrow was too early"). The Baron did not forget, (formula
to tell me: " My brother never says: " My Lord" only "Lord" to a
bishop,
because he is a baron... ")
On his death-bed, the baron
refused
the " sacraments ". I took it as a personal message. Today, I am the
only
reader of " DEMAIN " and the
only
one able to explain it.
8 / and two ways for the future
Some "
psys " announce an explosion of little gangsters, (baby-killers, serial
killers of girls...). When, how, did they see it? Have they smelt
the soft-gangsterism, "coders ILoveYou"?) I announced the
"delinquency",
when the CuniCuliCulture was installed in Babel-Borroughs, a
replica
of the environment of my childhood:
"Cassez les NICHES;
on
vous cassera les MICHES!",
("Rompen los nidos, les romperàn los
huevos!",
"Break the nests, break the breasts!")
I called this a "Crime against
Being",
(like the Baald'Oïd Affair). It could help to solve a major
problem:
"Why so few
hyper-gifted
survive"?
(not the super-gifted of the left lobe selected by
BINET
and MENSA !)
To change the world, to create
a "Millennaire des Lumières", to avoid New Dark Ages, we just
need
a few children "playing with their two brains ", an Albert who spoke
when
FOUR years, Isaac still a carter with 15, or the whimsical Arthur, my "
autistwin "; all mentally retarded, refusing schooling and
barracking!
Once more, I repeat:
"Just indicate that
there
is a dangerous passage, South of America.
And thousands of
Magellans
will rush there... "
