[Fis] The elusive concept of information

[Krassimir Markov]

Dear Pedro and FIS Colleagues,
Warm greetings for the new season of FIS discussions!
The strict restrictions are not good as we have seen in FIS list!
Now, there are many cases where the EU Directive is seen to be not adequate to real situations.
For instance the supermarket’s cards – renewing is not acceptable by the customers who already receive discount cards and deactivating old cards is not in the interest of the supermarket’s  stakeholders.
So ...
The possibility to unsubscribe is enough and it was not needed to reduce the FIS list.
I propose to return old list of addresses – many colleagues did not understand what really they need to do and we removed many of them without any real need.
In addition, the FIS list is a scientific but not a SPAM, not an industrial advertising structure and EU Directive had to be implemented cleverly. 
Now about the nice sentence of Karl: “the elusive concept of information”.
Many years and many scientists try to discover what is information,  but still there is not common understanding.
Because of many reasons.
First, every current definition discover only a part of the whole.
Second, every scientist wants to be the inventor and to be the first who give the entire definition and to write The General Information Theory. Me too :-) !
Third, and maybe the most important!, is the contradiction of scientific and non scientific paradigms which cause impossibility to find common understanding.
In this direction, the worst influence is done by the paradigm for external for the brain intelligence.
It doesn’t matter what kind of it is assumed – machine, information-space-time continuum, or any other.
At the end, still there are many scientists who really do not want to have clear understanding of concept information – in such case every paper written in scientific manner is good to be published nevertheless what is its content.
Because of this, I see the need to establish at least to separate lists – for those who believe in external intelligence and for those who really want to understand what is information and why the other believe that external intelligence exists.
If somebody believe that external intelligence does not exist, his place is in the first list - of believers.
Especially for me, I stopped answering to such posts because I esteem the human rights and don’t want to contradict without any real result.
Friendly greetings and successful FIS work!
Krassimir
