The unconscious in psychoanalysis and cognitive science
"Ego
functions are intrinsically unconscious. ID functions are intrinsically
conscious. The ID functions when they extend up onto ego, when these
free energies of the ID extend onto the inhibited functions of the ego,
they render the ego functions conscious. So it is exactly the opposite
way around to how Freud put it. I'm sorry but it is. [...] What
is pleasure without consciousness? How can you possibly speak of
pleasure without consciousness? This is the very same Freud that said
that affects always have to be conscious. It's no such thing as
unconscious affect, said Freud. How can the part of the mind be
unconscious where the pleasure principle reigns?"
Mark Solms
Id = Free Energy
Id = Consciousness
> Free Energy = Consciousness
Ego = Bound Energy
Ego = Unconscious
> Bound Energy = Unconsciousness

Se não sabe, porque é que pergunta?
"Each movement we make by which we alter the appearance of objects
should be thought of as an experiment designed to test whether we have
understood correctly the invariant relations of the phenomena before us,
that is, their existence in definite spatial relations."

making sense
"In order to minimize the entropy of both sensory and external states... To minimize surprise, I have to believe that my beliefs will be very precise. It is necessary to minimize the uncertainty of the causes of your sensations.
Now, you can't know the causes of your sensations. You have to infer them, so what that basically means is that, a priori, you have to believe you are going to sample the world in a way that minimizes your uncertainty, or maximizes your confidence about the explanation for the causes for your sensory input. There's a selective aspect to perception that is in the service of selecting hypotheses and explanations for our transactions with the outside world or others. That has to be continually upgraded and maintained and has to be revised in a dynamical way that in enforced by this imperative to go and sample the next most salient arena that will confirm the hypothesis."

"Os recentes êxitos de livros sobre ciência relacionam-se com a
natureza interdisciplinar de muitos dos novos trabalhos científicos. Os
professores escrevem para colegas de outras disciplinas. Por isso, têm
de fazê-lo em linguagem simples, evitando o jargão da área a que se
dedicam. Se eu escrevesse um livro apenas para filósofos — a minha área
—, fá-lo-ia desse modo e pelas mesmas
razões. Sei que este problema do jargão existe em todas as disciplinas,
mas na filosofia põe-se logo à partida. Grande parte dos falsos
problemas que surgem em filosofia provêm do facto de especialistas
falarem para especialistas. O maior pecado que um especialista pode
cometer quando fala com outro é explicitar o assunto, <
