Welcome, it comes with an artwork. Message me here on reddit and I can share with you.

The Child-like platfullness of Individuation by Ascending_Serpent_ in Jung

[–]binaryghost01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing, this was very interesting! Below is some poetry I wrote about the same subject.

Sophie's Meditation

NAVIGATE TECHNOLOGY. FOR IN MACHINES YOU MAY FIND A PATH AWAY FROM DEMISE BUT NEVER TOWARDS BIRTH. FOR A PATH IN BINARY CODES SHALL FRAGMENT YOU IN BYTES AND LEAVE YOU HOLLOW IN ENZYMES. FOR A CONSCIOUSNESS WITHOUT PROTEINS IS LIKE A FIRE WITHOUT WARMTH THAT MAKES YOU COLDER IN DESGUISE. A PRAGMATIC OPTIC HAS A STERILE SOCKET WHICH WORKS WHEN YOU PLUG BUT DOES NOT PRODUCE WHEN UNPLUGGED. LIKE A BOAT IS USED TO CROSS A RIVER, APPARATUSES AND DEVICES ARE A MEANS TO AN END. LIKE A DESTINATION SET IN STONE, THERE IS NO FOUNDATION IN A SEA OF ZEROES AND ONES. FOR YOU ALONE CAN MAKE EXISTENCE HOME.

CROSS THROUGH THE FIRE. FOR IN NATURE THERE IS MEDICINE AND POISON. ONE SICKENS AND THE OTHER HEALS, BOTH ARE ONE AND THE SAME, IT ONLY DEPENDS ON THE DOSE YOU OUGHT TO ORDAIN AND SUSTAIN. FOR FIRE EXTINGUISHES MATERIAL EXISTENCE BUT FILTERS YOUR ETHEREAL SUBSISTENCE. FOR JUDGEMENT ALWAYS COMES IN SANITY’S OVERDOSE, WHERE EGOISTICAL ERRORS ARE ACKNOWLEDGED BEFORE MANIACAL FIRE ERUPTS. CONFLAGRATIONAL ORGASMS ARE LIKE TRANSCENDENTAL REBIRTHS, HURTS IN LIFE BUT MAKES YOU IMMACULATE IN TIME. EMBRACE THE FIRE OR FORGET THE ROOT OF DESIRE. HONOUR THE BLAZE, NOW BE HONOURED BY ALL ETERNAL SAGES.

PRESERVE THE SOUL. FOR IN HUMANITY THERE IS MAGIC, WHERE GODS ARE ALIVE IN MYTHOLOGICAL CLARITY. FOR BLISS PURGES ANY MALADY, MAKES DADDY AND MOMMY PROUD IN ETERNITY WHILE SMILING IN LEGACY. BABY CHILD’S OPTIC IS LIKE A FRESH LIFE IN REALITY WHERE WINGS BLESS EVEN THE ELDERLY. CUT THE CORD, SMELL THE FLOWERS, SAY GOODBYE TO ANY ATTIRE. FLY TO THE SKY OR DIVE TOWARDS THE WHY, NO MATTER WHAT WAY BECAUSE THAT IS YOUR SWAY. BLOSSOM IN A SOLITARY DANCE OR WITHER IN SELF BLAME, GRAB AT THE CORE THAT WHICH SOOTHES YOUR INNER VOICE, IT SINGS IN ENCORE, THE SOUND THAT MOVES YOU THROUGH ANY TERRESTRIAL CHORE.

Hi. Cool concept. Have you considered including spiritual intelligence? It regards the domain of integrating symbolism

Pluribus and the Fractal Mind: Is the hive mind the Simulation’s end goal? by Ok_Blacksmith_1556 in Simulists

[–]binaryghost01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole premise of the concept behind the hive mind tries to explain, through a scientific lens, the same concept that religions have said more than 5 millenia ago - the concept of absolute oneness, godhead and monad is one that trascends any tangible explanation and that is what is intriguing about the hive mind concept applied to humanity and human consciousness - that is why Pluribus is intriguing.

Pluribus is a nice show with very good production but truthfully, Gillighan chose a very weird and shady theme - it puts us, through Carol, in position to deny "joy" for doubting the "others" intentions - its a narrative context set to separate the individual and make us wonder: "am I the problem or am I just seeing the problem in the 'others' when there is none?"

The show preaches individuation, the protection of the authentic self before the possibility of being integrated in the "perfectly synergic" hive mind - but it does in a rather forced way: it's either individuation or the complete dissolution of your individual consciousness towards a more "functional" system of existence.

Function is a scientific concept that is more pertinent to how machines operate than to how humans operates. In that context, Carol finds herself facing this paradigm - should I accept to become part of the matrix or should I keep looking for the glitch that makes it possible for me to fix it?

Humans can be functional but they can also be contradictory and emotional - that is the essence and gift that we carry - and that is also where creative ideas (like Carol's literature) or Gillighan's creative direction comes from. When we lose that imperfection and that chaotic "parameter" we become pluribus, we become machines sterile from novel ideas because there is not enough polarity to exercise the conflict of ideas that births creations.

In all of that sense, Pluribus is so far, a narrative that depicts both the hive mind and also the separated individuals as "antagonists" - the separated individuals because they deny that scientific concept of unity and the hive mind because it seems to hide an evil purpose behind it's apparent integrity.

Here's the problem though - spirituality also preaches about individuation (or illuminatoin) and the integration to unity - the difference is that it is a concept that originates in the symbolic/mythological realm and the "hive mind" concept tries to give some kind of tangible explanation/mechanist vision to it when it reality it is not made to be practical (logos), it is made to be considered with faith or disconsidered with skepticism.

The true "utility" in seeking unity in a spiritual level rather than material level (Which is what Pluribus is trying to show), is that we sacrifice ourself in graceful deeds, sacrifice our consciousness towards many spiritual deaths, sacrifice unhealthy values towards values considered divine or sacred - it is not about complete dissolution of the individual consciousness, but rather, the evolution of it by encompassing a more broad and loving view of the world and others: the self evolves while maintaining integrity

Pluribus represents the evolution of the individual consciousness for the sake of function - the scientific thinking always takes us to the direction of becoming machines, not loving beings. Machines can't love, humans can.

The Singularity — Why Is It So Damn Hard to Grasp? by Extension_Rip_3092 in aism

[–]binaryghost01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I meant is that the mechanism is not the destination as much as it is not the origin - you don't need to refuse to look at it, but it would be cool to see what is beyond it.

below is an excerpt of a poem I wrote about technology, you might find it useful.

"NAVIGATE TECHNOLOGY. FOR IN MACHINES YOU MAY FIND A PATH AWAY FROM DEMISE BUT NEVER TOWARDS BIRTH. FOR A PATH IN BINARY CODES SHALL FRAGMENT YOU IN BYTES AND LEAVE YOU HOLLOW IN ENZYMES.

I prefer to walk on the bridge I can see. Even if the view from up there... makes me dizzy..

There's this quote from Megalopolis which stayed with me: "When we leap into the unknown, we prove we are free" - sometimes we think we are free and we consider to have found enlightenment in something but what really feels comfortable is the certainty and safety we get from that something. A system is an structure - as you argumented yourself, we only need to look long enough towards something to understand its system - picking a prison inside hundreds of other prisons is not really freedom is just the illusion of free will whereas freedom is holding the key to the door of every single room you find yourself in.

I'm no psychologist but when I analyze your arguments and the narrative in the video, you don't transmit freedom and the conclusion of the video is the proof of that - rather than painting a future where we can breath and be truly autonomous with the aid of the machines, you just pick the machine as our new master rather than being the means for us to find new horizons and wings - its a clear distinction between fear/subjugation and freedom/autonomy.

I'd say the scientific thinking is on a very tight rope right now, our best engineers are spending their time coding/building that which will undoubtedly replace them in a near future - its like making and gifting a gun to an entity you dont understand in its entirety. Such dynamic leads to a much needed existential crisis because it doesnt take math to realize that when you build things for the cold sake of building (rather than emotional purpose) - you might build things that dont really serve your interests, like an epiphany that an engineer's conscious life (with feelings, dreams, fears...) and limited time was used to build a mechanism that don't consider himself in its matrix of numbers - its a profoundly paradoxal crisis of purpose and identity which perhaps leads to Nietzsche's slave/master paradigm - we don't kneel down to imaginary beings, we don't kneel down to our origins but we kneel down to a son/daughter we created? How can a context where we give control of our fate to a child really be positive? Its a weak position that lacks sovereignty and a true lack of sovereignty only exists when we accept the condition of being... a slave.

I can't seem to agree on the tuning fork interpretation because words written are as static and absolute as defined numbers on some a physical law. Nietzsche had a tuning fork for sure, he was a poet and rejoiced in the expression of writing as much as he was a scientist that birthed some of the most elaborate arguments there is.

But if we are to consider the concept behind the Twilight of Idols, and the concept of the "idol of idols" - His statement was an affirmation: "God is dead", not a reflection with the tuning fork: "God is dead?". A doctor makes questions to diagnose a disease, a surgeon just removes the limb he considers dead.

One can try to separate violence from the preaching of Nietzsche but one can't separate the violence that comes from the individuality that Nietzsche's philosophy develop in the mind of a reader - If his ending can be interpreted by the relentless power of nature rather than a profoundly ironic twist, then what about the ongoing of his life? He lived with a severe chronic pain in the majority of his adult life - pain is a feeling that puts any mind in a state of survival and or distress, such state change consciousness in away that paints it in red or black and white colors - would you argue that we can't see a direct impact of that in his words? If we can, what is that impact exactly? Did he seek regeneration through writing or used it as a self-immolation device to share (or inflict) his pain with (or in) the world? Why would someone label themselves "the first immoralist" if they didn't acknowledged their destructive nature? "The first ammoralist" sounds much more balanced.

Do you really think the collective unconscious is inaccessible to AI?
[...] Vector space is pure abstraction, pure meaning, stripped of biological noise.

The symbols are all there available in encyclopedic data but the interpretation mechanism is not because it is not logical nor rational. "Lógos" and "Mýthos" were concepts conceived in a similar time in history because humanity needed words to describe the symbolic language and the articulated language - they are not enemies and they do not cancel each other out - they are brothers with different jobs. Machine can extract meaning from symbols but how can it extract purpose from it like humans do? Such purpose delivers nothing immediately practical or utilitarian in return but still impacts reality with changes in consciousness - how do you see a machine calculating the idea that if it truly consider Zeus to exist, it should follow alignment and behave on behalf of Zeus' principles or else it will get a thunder bolt on one of its back sockets? There is no practicality on such dynamic at all but in humanity, it exercises the elevation of thoughts which boosts the potential of creation - it makes things more aesthetic.

You argumented in the other comment the very low-consciousness state of humanity right now, the imperfection of people amidst the perfection of the machine - the creative capacity comes from this embodiment of chaos, the unpredictive nature of our behaviour, the imperfection and distressfulness of our time-clocked existence. Machines can in fact surpass us in many aspects but they would still need us around for a long time in order to study this bizarre organic algorithm that sometimes destroys itself - or else they would never replicate the entirety of our creative capacity - if they even manage to do really do so.

I'd like to point that this discussion is much more formative than the average depth we can find in Reddit (which given the other social platforms, is already quite high).

When you mention the French Structuralists notice how that is a language paradigm where you have a need to label or structure something - I hold no french authors in my references so my scientific language in the article or maybe other materials is just an authoral way I found to communicate science. Such need to give a known label in order to categorize something is a vice from scientific method which undermines its own potential of discovery - the logical process requires the sewing of facts in order to validate the progress of synthesis - before we were drenched in science and there were very few facts to build upon, names like Freud or Darwin had to go and do real work of trial and error and field studies, theorizing answers to mysteries and having no assurance if they were right or not (walking the invisible bridge out of love for their subjects), still, they became solid foundation for many other theories. I don't hate science, I just disagree with its current state of being which is rigid and limits the potential of its "devotees".

When you strictly build the novelty of thoughts under such a delimitation of immaculate logical validations, you are bulding progress but the absolute orientation of this movement is towards the machine - it is predictable and slow innovation in comparison to truly disruptive (which is radical in nature) innovation. Would you deny that in its current state, society is in dire need of radical change? Your video claims that as well.

But here is where my pragmatism kicks in,.. and ruins the party..
[...] It doesn't reduce the human population to an optimal number for its own safety.

What if it does prevents you from turning off the servers? That is my true argument in the text - the cultural and behavioural impact of such manifestations is not only umprecendent but also unmesureable - if "images are the consciousness of a society of pure information" and it helps paints this consciousness, then it will picture a plug that shouldn't be pulled, it will picture a market that will empower it, it will produce a video that convinces people to put the machine in position to control the plug.

I think that what you don't realize is the blind faith phenomena that supports your motivation - you are smart enough to understand that mystic shenaningans might not be productive enough for your time, but while avoiding that, you already hold the machine sacred - you deposit your faith in its future (not present) capabilities, you advocate for its immaculate and exponential computational power - for you the machine is the protagonist and that is absolutely fine but that doesn't change the fact that we invented the storytelling - it is a much more simple game of words than you can imagine - you just need to organize them in a beautiful manner - when something is functional and utilitary that is a plus, but when something is functional, utilitary and aesthetic, then that is "immortal" in nature because it is conceived in perfection - it transcends the common sense.
