So, Who and What Are the Intelligence Agents?,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Intelligence Agents (Future History) (Paperback)
As Marvin Minsky desribes in his book 'Society of Mind' the Agents are small programs that achieve small tasks on their own. Once an Agent is grouped with another Agent new functions and actions can occur that single Agents cannot produce on their own. So what about a whole society of Agents?Dr. Timothy Leary, in his own chaotic style, recapitulates evolution from the first organism in which life began in the Eastern Oriental shorelines. DNA, the breath of life is always chasing the Sun Westward towards our neurological destiny. If you are familar with Dr. Leary's 24 Stage/8 Neuro-Circuit theory, then you will get a rise from this book. We have migrated from Asia to California as the launching pad into space where we will create H.O.M.E.s (High Oribtal Mini-Earths). The Intelligence Agents have already established their homes in future hive colonies. The secret to becoming an Intelligence Agent and Intelligence Increase is to SMILE (Space Migration Intelligence Increase Life Extension - the 'I' is squared). The book is designed to look like articles written from future and past Intelligence Agents, with Leary out in the wings sending you transmissions from Switzerland on his update. The articles falsely written by such neuronauts as Carol Rosin, Anise Nun, Henry Marshall, Pauline Kael, Andy Warhol, Susan Kaiser Vogel and so many others that Leary includes in the Genetic Hall of Fame (however, one must realize at some point this was all written by Leary himself). The Intelligence Agents are all working together to get you moving. Leary's style is jumbled with theories, ideas, histories, dedications, neurological data, DNA information, cultures of smaller organisms, cultures of cosmic life, evolution of organisms and individuals, occult, philosophy and metaphors compact in what seems to be a cross of 'Neuropolitique' and 'The Game of Life.' What I find exciting about this book is not so much the confusing writing, but within the chaos there is a positive code that Leary is sending to all of us, possibly decoded from his own DNA transmissions, and that code is: "Move On!"

Philosophy as Art and Dance.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Intelligence Agents (Future History) (Paperback)
A superbly, creatively paradoxical book. This book doesn't just set forth, dogmatically and exclusively, a set of ideas held by the author to be 'objectively true', it puts forward a set of ideas which enter into paradoxical (critical) relationships with each other, stimulating the reader to take up a critical position towards the book hirself. If intelligence rests on a critical attitude, then this book will increase your intelligence. Philosophy as art and dance.
