Is the concept of “artificial” now meaningless?

February 13, 2024

 

It appears that we are already well into the year when all that we have taken for granted dissolves. And it’s not just malevolent actors on earth that want to do us in, as in:

It’s something far “worse” — said from within my all-too-human point of view.

What If DNA Code Is Artificial Intelligence

We are an expression of an immense mystery which we cannot objectify – because we are the subject and not any object.

 

Tom Bunzel is on twitter/X, where I found another of his essays, deeply interesting, and far more optimistic, at least it appears to me, given that he hearkens back to what indigenous peoples have to teach us about their own communion with all that is.

Spiritual Survival in a World of AI

POST-INTERVIEW: Who’s Playing Who?

February 12, 2024

 

This may be the single most interesting clip from the Tucker/Putin interview. Who knew? We Americans certainly did not. How did Putin know? He’s obviously signaling that he’s done his research on Tucker. That he has the goods on him? That though they were/are opponents, they were? are? in the same role on opposite sides in the same game?

I can only imagine what it took for Tucker to remain poker-faced during that extended moment . . . And how it woke us all up, with a start. HUH?

 

On the other hand, what if the entire interview was actually cgi? Andweknow thinks so, citing technicalities re: the lighting plus other oddities, like the fact that it appears that either Tucker knows the Russian language, or the set-up crew forgot to give him microphone/translator for his ear.

Who knows? We truly are living in an era when all that we know for sure is our own embodied experience. Oops! At least some of us. Unfortunately, most people are dissociated, infected with the mind/body split that Descartes identified way back in the 17th century.

Even for those of us who do live a truly embodied life (and it takes work! practice! can’t be taken for granted!), anything beyond right here and right now is weird, warping mind-stuff, up for grabs, and can be literally, anybody’s game within an endless set of larger concentric games.

Welcome to the Age of Aquarius!

Oh, and BTW: Mars, having reached 29° Capricorn, today slips into Aquarius, where it conjuncts Pluto, immediately.

I don’t know about you, but despite sensing I’m being played in ways I cannot fathom, this movie is utterly riveting.
