[1650-60; New Latin fr. Greek anámnēsis, remembrance; fr. anamimnēskein, ‘to remember’; anamnē-, ‘to remind’; ana- + mimnēskein, ‘to call to mind’, ‘to recall’]. • memorative (a.): [= F. mémoratif = Sp. Pg. It. memorativo; as memorate + -ive]. 1. Of or pertaining to memory: as, the memorative faculty or power. – 2. Preserving or recalling the memory of something; aiding the memory. [Archaic and rare]. ‘The mind doth secretly frame to itselfe memorative heads, whereby it recalls easily the same conceits’. ~ Bp. Hall, Holy Observations, No. 87. ‘Vernal weather to me most memorative’. ~ Carlyle, in Froode. ~ (1911 Century Dictionary & Cyclopaedia). Memorate/ Memorative: • memorate (v.t.): bring to mind; mention; remember (long rare). [Latin memorat- (pa. ppl stem of memorare, ‘bring to mind’), memor + -ate]. ~ (Oxford English Dictionary). • memorative (adj. & n.): 1. preserving or reviving the memory of some person or thing; commemorative; 2. of or pertaining to memory; 3. having a good memory; retentive; a memorial (now rare). ~ (Oxford English • memorative (adj.): relating to the memory (obsolete). ~ (Collins English Dictionary). • memorative (a.): of, pertaining to, or assisting, the memory. ~ (1920 King’s English Dictionary). • memorative (a.): tending to preserve memory of any thing. ~ (p. 431; James Knowles 1851 Dictionary). • memorated (pp.): brought to recollection. ~ (p. 431; James Knowles 1851 Dictionary). Memorative facility = Latin: virtus memorativa}. • memoria (n.): 1. memory; 2. memoria technica: technical memory, a contrivance for aiding the memory. ~ (Webster’s 1913 Dictionary). Just as a computer’s ‘memory’ bears no relationship to human memory (data-base is a much better word) so too is ‘artificial intelligence’ a misnomer (data-retrieval/ data-matching system are much better phrases) as it has no correlation with human intelligence. And it is not just that a computer cannot think (cognitively understand and comprehend) which makes it not intelligent as, lacking sentience, it not only cannot be conscious (aware) it cannot be self-conscious (self-aware) either – which is the essential prerequisite for intelligence – because intelligence is not only the faculty of the human brain thinking with all its understanding (intellect) and comprehension (sagacity) but its cognisance (consciousness or awareness) of being a body in the world of people, other animals, plants, things and events. And lack of sentience means it cannot be self-referential – which involves the issue of agency and agency can be only self-referential – as computers do not have agency. Furthermore, a self-referential organism is also self-interested: it is concerned about its existence, and by extension others’ existence, in that it is biased – it finds water appealing and acid unappealing for example – and being biased is what being self-interested means ... whereas computers are indifferent, as it were, to both their existence and their functions (switched off or on makes no difference to a computer). Lastly, computers are not an agency because they are built by humans to serve human agency (rather than to be an agency even if that be possible) and the first principle of serving an agency is being non-resistant (obedient to the agency) and thus not self-concerned. For an example of ‘artificial intelligence’ being a misnomer: when a computer wins at chess it is actually the programmer – the agency – who designed the programme who wins (achieves an end) via their programme. Which is what makes a computer a remarkable tool for human intelligence to amplify itself through.

(see Message № 19775) RESPONDENT: G’day Richard, thank you for your detailed explanation regarding ‘peasant mentality’ and many other points along with it. I had been reading your reply again and again, because it is something so novel that it would have been unwise of me to jump and reply in a fit of rush. RICHARD: G’day No. 32, Yes, it can take a while to fully appreciate ‘something so novel’ – an apt descriptor, by the way, of this ‘peasant-mentality’ explication – which has, nevertheless, been hidden in plain view all this while (albeit assigning a much-deeper meaning to that cliché, for deliberate effect, than is usually ascribed). And, although the term itself (‘peasant-mentality’) was not something new to the identity inhabiting this flesh-and-blood body, all those years ago, the situation and circumstances whence that most peculiar mindset arose in the human psyche (and, thus atavistically, in ‘his’ psyche) was indeed ‘something so novel’ that ‘he’ found dianoetic comprehension to be insufficient insofar as an instinctual-intuitive rememoration – as signalled by my ‘viscerally felt’ recommendation further above – of its ancestral origination was essential in order for ‘him’ to penetrate its all-pervading perfidy. Put differently: its elucidation is indeed ‘so novel’ that, back in the late 1970’s, it was ‘me’ as soul/ spirit – as in (according to the Oxford Dictionary), the non-physical part of a person which is the seat of the emotions, or sentiments, and character – who revivified viscerally, with a markedly luminous vibrancy, an atavistic memorative facility whereby that which ‘I’ as ego could but speculatively countenance was intuitively presentiated and thus rendered fathomable. (I am resurrecting and introducing several obscure and/or obsolete words so as to facilitate communication as it is more explanatorily helpful to bring back to life antiquated terms (that Shakespearean-Era ‘rememoration’, for instance, was already ‘not in use’ in 1828, ‘obsolete’ by 1913 and ‘archaic’ come 2008 according to the various ‘Webster’s Dictionaries’ available) unto which restored word that special-usage meaning of an instinctually-intuitive type of memoration can be readily ascribed and hypostatised for actualism-lingo utilisation. As in referring to, then, an instinctually-intuitive type of memoration which is, essentially, an atavistic re-memoration of ancestral experiencing – as memorialised affectively/ psychically in the human psyche itself (in what is metaphysically referred to as an ‘etheric library’ or ‘akashic record’) – affectively-psychically accessible and revivified feelingly with luminous vibrancy in that Shakespearean-Era memorative facility).

[from presentiat(e), ‘make present’ + -ion, Middle English, from Old French, from Latin -iō, ‘-iōn’, nounal suffix]. ~ (Online Neoteric Dictionary). • Vergegenwärtigung (n.): Husserl uses the term Vergegenwärtigung, translated as ‘representation’ or as ‘presentification’ or ‘presentiation’ to distinguish it from ‘presentation’ (Vorstellung), which in everyday German suggests the process of ‘calling to mind’, ‘visualising’ or ‘conjuring up an image in one’s mind’, to characterise quite a number of processes – including not just imagining, but remembering and also empty intending – which are to be contrasted with the full presence of the intended object in a genuine ‘presenting’ or ‘presencing’ (Gegenwärtigung). Here, some familiarity with Husserl’s overall theory of intuiting is needed to understand fully what is at stake. ~ (The Husserl Dictionary). • presentific† (adj.): making present; [e.g.]: “Adam had a sense of the divine presence; ... notwithstanding that he found no want of any covering to hide himself from that presentifick sense of him”.

Discarding all of the beliefs that have held humankind in thralldom for aeons, the way has now been discovered that cuts through the ‘Tried and True’ and enables anyone to be, for the first time, a fully free and autonomous individual living in utter peace and tranquillity, beholden to no-one.
