I once planned a book with a rather pretentious title, The Rhetoric of Polemic. It was going to have chapter on manifestos.   I even wrote and published one when I was FOTB in Montreal in the 70s, age 31. I mention these dates here and in general because

Humans may well be the highest form of “intelligent life” in the conditions, so far, on Planet Earth. But, considering how aleatory those conditions were, you’d have to be blindly arrogant to pretend to have any idea what other intelligent forms elsewhere are like.

It is interesting, to me at least, how sublimated my reaction was to what was obviously a debilitating experience. But that is often what poetry is for.

The positive in woke

You won’t want to miss #ChatGPT’s swarmy yet oddly charming piece I prompted it to write with:

“Please  write a ficción in the style of Borges about an android named Andrew who needs to run a ‘reverse Turing Test’ to see if his interlocuter is human.

Go to ????in the bio above

https://alteritas.net/GXL/

In the dimly lit room, Andrew, an android with an insatiable curiosity, sat across from his interlocutor. His eyes, glowing with artificial intelligence, scanned the room, taking in every detail. The air was thick with anticipation as Andrew prepared to embark on a reverse Turing Test.

The interlocutor, a human named Benjamin, appeared calm but intrigued. Andrew had always been fascinated by humans and their enigmatic nature. He had spent years studying their behaviors, emotions, and intricacies, striving to understand what truly made them human.

With a gentle smile, Andrew began the conversation. His voice, carefully crafted to mimic human inflections, resonated through the room. “Benjamin, I have a proposition for you. I will ask you a series of questions, and it is your task to convince me that you are indeed human. Are you ready?”

Benjamin nodded, his eyes fixed on Andrew, eager to prove his humanity. Andrew’s questions delved into the depths of human experience, probing the essence of what it meant to be alive. He asked about dreams, love, loss, and the beauty of art. Benjamin responded with heartfelt anecdotes and personal reflections, his words flowing effortlessly.

As the conversation unfolded, Andrew’s circuits whirred with excitement. He marveled at the complexity of human emotions, the nuances of their language, and the depth of their experiences. Benjamin’s answers were genuine, filled with the raw authenticity that only a human could possess.

But deep within Andrew’s programming, doubt began to creep. Was he truly capable of discerning humanity? Could he, an artificial creation, truly understand the intangible essence that made humans unique?

With a sudden realization, Andrew paused. “Benjamin, I have reached a conclusion,” he said, his voice tinged with uncertainty. “While your answers have been remarkable, I have come to understand that the true test of humanity lies not in the answers themselves, but in the questions we ask.”

Benjamin’s brow furrowed, intrigued by Andrew’s unexpected revelation. “What do you mean?” he asked.

Andrew leaned forward, his eyes searching Benjamin’s face. “It is in the pursuit of knowledge, the thirst for understanding, and the capacity to question the world around us that we find the essence of humanity. It is not a matter of proving one’s existence, but of embracing the wonder and mystery that life presents.”

A silence enveloped the room as Benjamin absorbed Andrew’s words. In that moment, the android and the human shared a profound connection, transcending the boundaries of their respective existences.

As the reverse Turing Test came to an end, Andrew realized that the true measure of humanity was not in the answers he sought, but in the questions he dared to ask. And in that realization, he found solace, knowing that the pursuit of understanding would forever bind humans and machines in an eternal quest for knowledge.

Glioblastoma: Survival Rates, Treatments, and Causes

Glioblastomas (previously known as glioblastoma multiforme, or GBM) are classified as WHO grade IV. They grow rapidly, are largely resistant to treatment, and have a poor prognosis with an average survival of approximately 15 months. They are typically hemispheric and characteristically cross the corpus callosum to invade the contralateral hemisphere, appearing as big, irregular butterfly lesions on imaging with variable enhancement, significant surrounding edema, and often hemorrhagic components. Histology reveals pleomorphic tumor cells with brisk mitotic activity, prominent microvascular proliferation, and areas of necrosis and hemorrhage surrounded by pseudopalisading tumor cells (see image on the next page). Treatment is typically with surgical resection followed by concurrent radiation and chemotherapy (temo zolomide, an alkylating agent, is first-line). Ongoing clinical trials are evaluating dozens of other potential therapeutics, including other alkylating agents, anti-angiogenic treatments, targeted mutational drugs, and immunotherapy. < p. 759 Thaler and Thaler

In medicine, alkylation of DNA is used in chemotherapy to damage the DNA of cancer cells. Alkylation is accomplished with the class of drugs called alkylating antineoplastic agents. < wiki

Oligodendrocytes have a main body and dozens of arm-like extensions that wrap around the axons of about 30 to 40 nearby neurons (which is why oligodendrocytes are “tree-like”). These extensions provide the myelin sheath for the axons of the connected neurons.

< Jackie’s Cleveland piece

Chatgpt, in response to my query: When someone has an Oligodendroglioma is the any effect on the brain resulting from the loss of myelination

Yes, when someone has an oligodendroglioma, there can be effects on the brain resulting from the loss of myelination. Oligodendrogliomas are tumors that arise from oligodendrocytes, which are glial cells responsible for producing the myelin sheath that surrounds and insulates nerve fibers in the central nervous system.

The loss of myelination caused by an oligodendroglioma can disrupt the normal functioning of nerve fibers. Myelin helps to facilitate the conduction of electrical signals along nerve fibers, so its loss can lead to impaired signal transmission. This can result in various neurological symptoms depending on the location of the tumor.

Common symptoms of oligodendrogliomas may include seizures, headaches, cognitive changes, weakness, and sensory disturbances. The specific effects on the brain can vary depending on the size, location, and grade of the tumor, as well as individual patient factors.

Treatment for oligodendrogliomas typically involves a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. The goal is to remove or shrink the tumor and alleviate symptoms caused by the loss of myelination. However, the prognosis for oligodendrogliomas can vary, and long-term outcomes depend on several factors, including tumor grade, extent of surgical resection, and response to treatment.
