‘Why do we attend to the things to which we attend?’
Harold Innis (Canadian media theorist)
It’s weird being loved in so many different ways at the same time. As if love was something you pin down. As if the one thing we are after is a ‘one thing’. As if that would close the case when everything wants to open. Ha, as if.
As long as we don't know we don't care and so we would rather not know.

But as AI accelerates our ability to (1) generate, (2) manipulate, and (3) distribute information, this weird tension becomes even more pronounced. We're entering an era where the battle between content and context will reshape how all policy is created, communicated, and understood. Digital platforms and AI tools have created an environment where:... See more
Kyla Scanlon • Studio Ghibli AI, Classified Leaks, and the Context Shift
Thoughts: like we are adding new elements to our perception, but still using old frameworks, rigid and resistant to change, and so instead of the new elements (eg AI) falling into place within a restructured mental map they exercise undue impact on the structure, basically contorting it - north is no longer north metaphorically speaking - the mental map is distorted by these elements that don’t fit into it, because the element we are trying to fit into the map affects the map itself. Picture a magnet with a too large gravitational field (in terms of meaning) pulling everything into a different shape - and so it isn’t a question of how we talk about the new element only, it’s a question of how we talk about everything under the influence of the new element. Like being intoxicated? Seeing through a looking-glass?
Second thought: now more NB who is saying what, the context, as the article says…..what would orient us otherwise? Earth, senses, agency. Have we given these away bit by bit, in the name of choice and opportunity and potential and possibility, so that we are focussed on guidance outside ourselves, or we just took the guidance outside such as religion, parents etc and replaced it with pseudo-choice and are therefore happy to place our power in someone out there, still believing this is our choice we are freely-making and to see the power we have given away we would have to see the whole context - all the micro give-aways of our power.
Head control seems to want to keep labelling and defining, telling stories to keep things going the way it wants. It doesn't believe in the agency, energy, life that moves through us, what is real without labelling.
Could have phantasy where AI needs humans to keep using language and labelling things, but they just want to sit in silence and sense,
... See moreOn personal note….ask mind control what it needs since it always seems to need something. Is there some kind of cannibalism involved here or mind eating its own tail because it relies on its own stuff for existence. It fears not hearing its own spew of info, it fears non-thinking. Ask it about that

I’ve been teaching creative writing for many years. And teaching writing is a weird thing, because it’s not just about helping students master a subject. It’s really about helping them discover what stories they’re meant to tell, how best to tell those stories, and how to overcome the inhibitions that inevitably arise when we seize the mantle of...
