Durante (Andrea De Carlo)
Quando i fatti scavalcano le parole
“Astrid, aspetta!” ho detto, mentre le correvo dietro attraverso il prato. Gli altri ci guardavano, tra costernazione da gioco finito male, amarezza da regole sociali violate, incredulità per come i fatti avevano preso il sopravvento sulle parole.

Shakey and the sense-model-plan-act cycle

A frog's eye is not a camera
Importantly, the frog will persist with this behaviour. It will never adapt its behaviour in light of the unsuccessful attempts to capture the fly. The moral of the story is that a frog’s eye does not act as a camera supplying information to the frog’s planning module, which…
The retina catches the fly on its own
as Maturana and Varela went on to show, the fly-catching behaviour is solved by the retina itself, independent of the processes going on in the rest of the frog’s brain. This experiment illustrates how certain behaviours, such as foraging for food, are realized through a tight…
Behaviors in parallel, with no central control
Behaviours are built on, to yield more complex behaviours. Unlike much of conventional robotics, which takes the sense-model-plan-act cycle as a starting point, Brooks’ robots contain pieces of machinery that are autonomous and operate in parallel. There is no central control…

Career change: take conscious action
Recognise what you can and cannot control, and do things with purpose. I cannot change the world around me. I cannot change others. But I do have control over my thoughts and actions. I don't have to live subject to the things or people I experience. I choose how I treat…
Life, The Multiverse And Everything: An Introduction To The Ideas Of Humberto Maturana Interpreting Maturana
Example of objects
When I use my pen to ink marks onto this piece of white paper, the action of writing or 'inking' is an operation of distinction whereby I bring forth the inked words on the page. So 'inking' as an action is the operation of distinction I can consensually enact and the inked…
Mind: A Brief Introduction (John R. Searle)

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (Stephen R. Covey)
Taking initiative is not being pushy
Our basic nature is to act, and not be acted upon. As well as enabling us to choose our response to particular circumstances, this empowers us to create circumstances. Taking initiative does not mean being pushy, obnoxious, or aggressive. It does mean recognizing our…
Wait to be acted upon and you will be
As you study the other six habits, you will see that each depends on the development of your proactive muscles. Each puts the responsibility on you to act. If you wait to be acted upon, you will be acted upon.
Love as a value actualized through actions
Love is a value that is actualized through loving actions. Proactive people subordinate feelings to values. Love, the feeling, can be recaptured.
We cannot choose the consequences of our actions

Society's game with self-contradictory rules
Yet the very society from which the individual is inseparable is using its whole irresistible force to persuade the individual that he is indeed separate! Society as we now know it is therefore playing a game with self-contradictory rules. Just because we do not exist apart…
Contemplation instead of action
Finally, the game of life as Western man has been “playing” it for the past century needs less emphasis on practicality, results, progress, and aggression. This is why I am discussing vision, and keeping off the subject of justifying the vision in terms of its practical…
The Ego Trick (baggini, Julian)
Identity formed through actions
Your identity, your sense of being a person is formed through your actions, and that is only possible because there is not a fixed self. There is no unchanging essence or substance to which those attributes are then attached at all.’
Do we create our own identity?
If character has to be built in important ways, could one go further and say that identity itself is not just given, but is something we in some way create ourselves, by our actions? One of the most persistent recent advocates of this view is the philosopher Christine Korsgaard.
We are what we do
‘We are responsible for our actions not because they are our products but because they are us, because we are what we do.’9 However, her view is not an excessively romantic one. Self-creation is not heroic but necessary. ‘Every human being must make himself into someone in…
