Following threads of not knowing and seeing what structures they form. Delighting in the pulse of life and the moment. Trusting in living systems, the cosmos and the trip that is life.

Always stick to what makes you weird, odd, strange, different. That’s your source of power.

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

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.
Hmm this really makes me think of how artists bring so much more to the art which an algorithm cannot anticipate. Artists with their feeling bodies are tapped into the pulse of time and societal shifts and their own human experience. Art often therfore alerts to collective or social phenomena and are therefor not just pretty pictures or entertainment. Like the last paragraph of this article in that regard. Creativity and art are there to push back against all of this. Getting back to creating outside the algorithm seems related to being human outside the algorithm which is linked to so many things. Thin extension to media and things Douglas Rushkoff talks about. Narratives shape.
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
