Really silly AI point-missing
Silly is the perfect word for the latest point-missing at MindMatters.
Eric Holloway tries to use the characteristics of effective running to say something or other about Information Theory. At every step he tries to use the theory to test the effectiveness of running, and at every step he fails. Despite the consistent failure, he finishes off by declaring success.
Information theory fails here because it's STATISTICAL, not based on WAVES and RHYTHM. Running is rhythm, and all of the characteristics of good running are defined by synchronized periodicity. It has nothing at all to do with "available choices".
The biggest missed point of all is the PURPOSE of running. Neuroscience has established that running, along with other rhythmic physical activity, CREATES NEW NEURONS. Running doesn't consume information, it creates information. New neurons are new information by definition. The PURPOSE of this new information is to de-emphasize and fade out old countersynced memories and create new synced memories.

Just after I wrote this, a FANTASTICALLY BEAUTIFUL counterproof appeared, based on REAL brain data.
