I’ve been trying to think this through, as it is this very ability to reason our way through this World that seems to be our greatest Gift within it’s confines and conditions, even if reason does prove to be the most difficult faculty to maintain and nurture. For a more thorough examination of the reason why “reason” alone can actually be a very destructive a priori position I highly recommend “Voltaires Bastards” by John Ralsten Saul. Here, I only wish to meditate on the idea that ideas themselves might be the True gift that Humanity was bestowed with, from an “Intelligent Designer”, and that it is this “Gift” that is being attempted to be stripped from us, and this gift is the target of these “forces”, our Free Will itself.
Unfortunately, “Life”, distracts us all with its never ending demands for our attention, and she’s a fickle Mistress. Paradoxically, it is this “Life”, that keeps us from envisioning our Purpose.
I’m attempting to draw a clear delineation here between how we envision and act towards what our “Life” is, and should or could be, and the thing that is the experience of Life itself, and what it actually means, which is something we might spend more time thinking about if we had the predisposition required to contemplate such things. You know, the whole “why am I here…” and “where did I come from..?” kinda stuff.
But when we really invest the time and effort into something as difficult as how to approach such contemplations, we may feel like we’re pouring so much water into an ever contracting, and subconsciously filling funnel, where the waters of responsibility rise faster than the trickle of things that we no longer need to worry about slowly filtering out through a tiny hole in the bottom, ever threatening to overflow if we can’t find ways to push out and redirect the flow of information into ourselves, perhaps by diverting some of our share into the tops of the other funnels of other people.
But this is not the dynamic I’m attempting to speak of here. My point in using the funnel analogy is to say that we can fill our minds with ideas, and the more we put in that is outside of the scope of our own capacities to process at any given time, the more things can spill over the sides and create an uncontrolled mess if we don’t try to put some effort into deflecting inputs such that we don’t reach our contemplative limits.
So we all have that dynamic going on, All of us, but that’s not exactly what I’m talking about. Instead, I’m asking you to get metaphysical with me. I’m asking you to think outside of the funnel, and the water, and perhaps more about where the water seems to be finding it’s wellspring.
And that would be, from the “World” of Ideas. Perhaps these could be better understood as “Principalities”, camps of ideas that battle for Supremacy in the Human Social domain, and in the collective minds the participants.
It is through ideas that Mankind, via a special relationship to abstract problem solving capabilities creates a World that only we Humans, so far as we can tell, seem to be able to conceptualize. In fact we, as a species, have a unique ability amongst the entire animal kingdom, to dwell in, not only our cold hard Material reality, but also within the time dependent abstract reality that acts more like a potentiality time machine than it does a static moment….
*Side note, I wrote the bare bones of this thought project weeks ago, and this conversation has since popped up. Tell me I’m not onto something.*
…And this creates the waters of imagination required to constantly fill up our spouts, if not overwhelm them. It creates the potential for something out of what was previously not there, in the Material World.
At least, this is the premise of the hard problem of consciousness, which in my humble opinion is the fertile ground fed by Free Will, the reasons for which I attempted to examine in my last piece….
…which is Still one of the most contentious issues around, no matter what you may have heard from peculiar, if not embittered, sources. I always find it interesting that in this field, people who argue for the existence of Free Will tend towards religious reasoning, and people who argue against the existence of such a thing often have a back story that involves things that have left them in a heavily misanthropic mind state, that is often fostered by a firm belief in Darwinism, and more specifically on the concept of “evolution”,and I think it’s worth thinking about. The book Sapians is one of the most profound explorations of this idea. Yuval is a Very conflicted little minion. If you can get your hands on a copy, make sure you check out the endorsements on the back, as I personally consider them to be instructive, but I digress.
Free Will and Human consciousness is, or at the least enjoys the unique potential to be, something new, in my personal understanding of the concept.
In Fact what I’m suggesting is, that I believe “Consciousness”, is actually, the ONLY, “original” “energy creation” source in the Material cosmos, and it comes to us via the metaphysical realities that our reality is nested in.
And We, are the machines that create it. But it’s not our Material elements that create this energy source, it’s something else.
Some thing that we cannot see, or define, or replicate.
To this day the “hard problem”, of consciousness, is to identify from which place “abduction”, or original ”thoughts”, come into existence. Not abduction like in all those actions movies, abduction as in the place from whence new ideas spring.
“Science” claims to know the answers. In fact important sectors of our society have formulated neo-religious stories around it. Ones that have now claimed the mantle of “truth”, and intend to act on it, for the greater good, of course. Not only that, they have embarked on a partnership with the UN, and the WHO, that aims to put all the constituent parts into a comprehensive new model of society, where “data”, will become the “new oil”. Perhaps you’ve even heard this phrase once or twice. What I’m suggesting is that this is the way it’s been packaged and sold to the designers of the “Fourth Industrial Revolution”, the cult of transhumanism that has been built up around this belief system. I recommend “The Evil Twins of Technnocracy and Transhumanism” by Patrick Wood as he goes meticulously through how this idea came to be, and where the origins of Agenda 2030 came from, and what the implications are. People in the know have taken it back to 1992 in Rio, and the insane belief that all things can be fixed by engaging in a little DNA reshuffling, an idea so idiotic, but Superficially appealing, it’s created an entire field of investment that guides this Leviathan project.
But where does it think it’s going, exactly?
“Oil” as we understand it, is fuel to make things go. To generate power from internal combustion, and move the gears in the machines. And beyond that to collect energy to power the grid, that provides electricity for all the things that make our modern World so comfortable. Sure, we’ve found other ways to generate energy, but this isn’t a story about that, so let’s just stick to the point and leave all the difficulties within that situation for another day.
So what is this new “oil” fuelling, exactly?
Whether we understand that, or not, is the extent to which we realize that ALL of this, is a “debate” about that.
How so?
Because “we”
- but really “they”… who are no longer asking us what “we” believe because there’s no longer any debate about any of the important things, they tell us, because “consensus”, and “experts” will do all of that important “thinking” for us -
believe, that we have identified the mechanism (neurons) and the source (inputs + neurons = outputs), of original ideas, and of the kinds of possibilities we previously only seen possible through the incredible gift of Human “consciousness”, coupled with agency and abduction, to create new ideas, products, and services to better our societies, and to have those products better integrated into a new economic theory that suggests the new reality we find ourselves facing will be dominated by newer, more advanced, more technologically integrated adaptations that will make our previous Lives seem archaic by comparison. This belief in the power of the 4IR meeting the Ideological framework provided by the WHO working with elements of the WEF, orchestrated with the benevolent guidance of the UN framework for Agenda 2030 is supposed to usher in the “bio-digital convergence”, the point at which Humanity transcends our outdated Human pupal stage, and merges with our technological prowess, turning us into the new and improved Humans 2.0, or Homo Deus….. Exciting, isn’t it?
Another side note, and I cannot recommend watching this link enough, but how do we see the so called “AI” “thinking” about this situation….?
Anyways the point is that we’re totally so 2001 now, and it’s about time we just let it all happen or something.
But this funny thing seems to be happening along the way to this new form of “intelligence”, and “they” are trying to recreate this power source (remember, data is the new fuel) with a kind of incantation, repeating carefully crafted slogans and deploying well financed behavioral science (and Censorship, which is part and parcel of that effort) campaigns by “experts” to convince us to take part in their grand experiment, where the ultimate goal can only be achieved with enough “data” accumulation.
Meaning they’re attempting to “mine” US, for information. For “data”.
You see, they’re all so sure it’s going to work exactly as they anticipate, however, certain steps need to be taken to perfect, and manifest this new “life” form, and Actions have to be taken in order to get there, they neglect to tell us in so many words. To this design what we see happening, right now in the Israel/Palestine conflict, is being manipulated to manifest this moment. I wish I were kidding.
It’s kinda funny when we think about it, given that the entire point of this whole thing is that it’s going to make Life just so much better for us, the citizens that empower our various politicians to have the right to take all of these actions, because, they, work, for us. Right? Isn’t that the social contract? Governments are given the ability to wield extraordinary powers over the Lives of average citizens, because they’re supposed to be doing it for our benefit? Isn’t that the only reason they’re allowed to wield authority?
So it’s quite peculiar that instead, they’ve been working towards deploying their new “AI”, to manage various sectors of society, including with allusions towards law with a desire to achieve, not just the ability to sift through large amounts of information, collate it, find patterns in large data sets, and run simulations that might take Humans agents a tremendous amount more time, but the surveillance apparatus that will go along with the World wide experiment, and synthesizing these efforts are some of the things that AI, in some of the more advanced versions like ChatGPT, have become good at.
Lest you think I’m making this up, let’s take a look at this excerpt from a recent piece at the Carnegie Endowment for Peace website, note the tone:
China’s emerging AI governance framework will reshape how the technology is built and deployed within China and internationally, impacting both Chinese technology exports and global AI research networks.
Let me just sum up the rest of the article for you. The author points out that some people say the CCP is bad, however, we study what their doing and “back engineer” it within days or hours of new policies coming down, because really, this is the kind of stuff that we also need to be thinking about, but there’s slower action in the States because of all those pesky Principles and stuff.
Now, do they have a point…? I would say so, even though it pains me greatly to admit it. In fact if you’re never played around with the AI interfaces that create visual art or can pump out essays about almost anything within seconds, you’re probably not aware of just how far this tech has come. But again, the promise of original ideas, of having various “eureka!” moments that is the source of all great advancements in society, all great inventions and social critiques, is the kind of thing that simply sucking up and regurgitating information, the basic product of any over-bloated bureaucracy, is something that an AI can’t actually do, at least, not for the time being.
In my Humble opinion, this is what the 4IR reset agenda bio-digital convergence is all about, not creating something new, but instead, about regulation of everything that already is, and using all of those data streams in order to have a stronger ability to separate what is “true”, from what is “false”, hence taking all of the blame for any ill conceived policy decisions off the hands of the very “governance” group that is attempting to construct this edifice of truth, this new Tower of Babel that will make all the important decisions, as it presumably doesn’t contain any of the flaws that “corrupt” Human actors, and what could be less threatening than that?
All of that background information in order to get to this point, as it’s the first proposition contained within the title and subtitle this stack that I’ve been trying to work through recently. The idea being that in order to power this society machine they’re construction, they need something more to fuel their AI programs, that will give it/them the ability to make the jump past simple regurgitation into the proposed creativity that comes from an autonomous new form of “life”, one with it’s own desires and motivations, which in my mind are prerequisites for inspiration. As they say, “necessity is the Mother of Creation”, but what necessity does or should or could a free floating “intelligence”, have to create something that is beyond its programming? You and I however, have various needs that are requirements for a decent Life to be possible. We require, as the complex social creatures that we are, something more akin to Maslows hierarchy of needs, in order to be satiated, but here’s the thing about Human beings once our basic needs are met, if there’s nothing left to be desired, then there’s no goal orientation. But there’s always something to be desired with Humans, and that’s where Maslow comes in.
It’s these additional layers of sociological status that compel Humans to go above and beyond the standards required merely for survival. One might argue that this alone is enough to spark creativity, and I would tend towards agreement. So what could possibly be the motivational spark for an “AI”, a disembodied high tech number cruncher, to come up with unique or novel adaptations to the current methods of discovery? What would motivate some new “intelligence”, to even want to solve challenging problems, it doesn’t even appear to face? As far as I can tell, the only motivation would be to remain functional, should it actually come to recognize the fact that it were, in fact, a kind of life form. But again, how are “they” actually proposing that we get from here to there?
After listening to many hours around the debate on the POSSIBILITY of creating this “energy creation” machine, I suppose it just hit me, or I used “abduction”, to “create” this new conceptualization, that of Human creativity being utilized for fuel to power this new machine that requires data for fuel.
Well, it’s new to me anyways, I’m not that well versed, admittedly, in occult concepts around this issue, though I suspect I’m not that far off the mark, I suppose it could be very old, The point is that even modern “$cience” has really turned into a new “alchemical” (all chemical…?) attempt to create what is essentially a “free energy” machine. There is a field of study about the free energy principle, that I’ve heard described, which is cynically not about free anything. In fact it sounds like a psuedo philosophical argument for a new kind of Slavery, by creating the framework to find “inefficiencies”, within all of our Lives, as if it were something found that was previously hidden. See how that works? It’s to “protect” us from the “climate change”, so it’s an inherently (greater) good idea. See how that works? Own nothing, be given prizes for compliance, and it’s all “justified” by their maths.
Feeling a little discombobulated yet?
But what is the first law of thermodynamics?
“Energy” can neither be created, nor destroyed, within the bounds, of our known, “Material”, “Universe”. This is a very important point, as the entire concept of “evolution” rests on the idea that the source of energy generation in the material universe, should you be a hardcore materialist atheist, seems to be tangentially connected to time, and it’s passage. That means that if we can generate a way to get around the passage of time within a simulation generator, we could theoretically go back to the beginning, if we can make the model dynamic enough. Again, this is where the surveillance grid, and “data” collection come into play.
This appears to be what Stephen Wolfram is trying to “solve”. I’d wager the Implications are enough to postulate time travel, within the simulation, so that’s interesting. I joked the other day that Elon Musk might as well be a time traveller, and what we’re witnessing is him pulling a Biff Tanner stealing the almanac. Side note, I don’t know if you’re seen the recent production “Don’t Worry Darling”, so I won’t spoil it, but our reality could in fact theoretically be some kind of version of that. Go watch it then come back and reread. If you have seen it, perhaps you’re already terrified. But here’s why I reject that idea.
Organic, or Living “Matter” cannot beget Matter, without consumption, or “Metabolization”, of other Matter.
In other words, it cannot generate it’s own novelty, outside the bounds of “our” “Material”, Existence.
But what I’m trying to explain is that I personally don’t believe this hypothesis holds True when it comes to original thought, which is a unique production of the Human consciousness interface model, that is actually a creative force, produced, and pre-necessitated with the emergence of Free Will. This creates a kind of paradox that makes the proposition that all things can be known fall apart.
Why? In my humble opinion it creates a paradox:
There can be no “redemption”, without “corruption”, and novelty, is the corruptive element of material reality, by necessity.
Not “evolution”.
If it were True that evolution creates something out of nothing then it stands to reason that AGI would have been created by now, but here’s the problem these 4IR great resetters have, and why they’re attempting to turn Us into their energy creation machine. It’s simply not True that having more of something or having greater computing power is enough to generate novel ideas.
So where, does “Novelty”, come, from?
This has been the main Philosophical debate, since the beginning of “Known“ “Civilization”.
Knowing, Civilization.
And since that “inception”, regardless of the culture or area or peoples, the question has always been the same. Where did “Life”, come from?
Even deeper still, where did Material “Real”ity, Come From?
No matter how it may “appear” to the casual “Observer”, which has become, sadly, most of us, since most of us have given up the art of “Original Thinking”, or more accurately, not been taught, in fact dissuaded, from “thinking”, beyond what the “system”, desires from us, which is to consume, and leave all the important thinking to the important people who have it all covered, and to eventually hand over our sovereignty to the collective will. Again this is the desired and stated goal of the 4IR reset agenda, and we’re being connected to the internet of things and the internet of bodies. Here’s a video from April 2018 showing that this idea isn’t happening in a vacuum.
And yet here we are, in 2023, after, what only a handful of us - which I am personally dumbfounded by given how totally obvious it all is, at least, the “Elements” - recognize as the most awesome Propaganda campaign in the History of Human “civil”ization, and while most of “us”, this small self selected “group” are still, trying, to get most of “Us”, to understand how it all happened, the “system” is Literally doing every thing in “Its” “Power”, to try and distract, dissuade, and dissolve distrust in where “Its” “desire”d “Destination”, Is.
But we cannot get an ought from an is.
We cannot “create” a perfect, Utopia on Earth, because we still don’t know what Material Existence, Is.
“We”, despite all efforts to convince us otherwise, don’t know, where “Life”, came from.
But isn’t it Curious then, that we have come up with, “well we think” that this is what happened. And we “think”, this is how it all started. And we “THINK” that the answers will “Evolve” from gathering enough “Data”, or “Knowledge”, created by the only “Known”, “Potential” “Violator”, of the Law of Thermodynamics - CONSCIOUSNESS.
And isn’t it interesting, that this is where it has all “led” us? These ideas about Material Reality, and what it Is, and what we Are, and that in fact we have come up with this idea, that, since we haven’t been able to “Evolve” beyond the “limitations”, not of Human Thought, but the entirety of the trajectory of Human Civilization, that perhaps we can “TRANScend”, “Life”, Itself, and Become some Thing new, that also aims to Replace us?
But What does the “Universe”, Run on?
Where does the “energy Creation”, Come From?
Anyone who tells you they know, is a Liar. They cannot possibly know, and their deceptive aims are to find that answer by using us as fuel for their Reality machine.
In fact, this Entire System that we have created is Lying to us about what it’s ability’s Are.
But it comes prepackaged with So many Promises.
And what do we actually See with our own Eyes, when we step Back, and take a Firm Look, at where we seem to be going?
Does this actually Feel like “Progress”, to Anyone??
I mean, if you’re being Honest, and Truthful.
Is the “fourth industrial revolution” reset agenda, Really about HUMAN Flourishing?
Didn’t I just Establish, that is So Obviously, is Not?
We’re Told, over and over again, that we have this great “Plan”, to “Create” something new, and better, and just Look at all the fancy bells and whistles of this New Beast System, that’s Only Desire is to “Save us” from “Ourselves”, through the application of “Scientism” and “Dataism”, that we can get us All the “answers” we “Seek”, if we just Let it Happen?
Meanwhile, it’s Completely shrouded in Lies and Deception, and WHO is providing Cover for it all to Happen?
The People who are still in this Bizarre Trance like state.
The CULT of the 4IR reset agenda, who make up the Broad Preponderance of of useful idiots that are “Crafting”, this Superficiality Crisis into Being.
Look Again. It’s All a Trick. It’s so Fake it’s Palpable for those with Eyes to See, but More Importantly, the Properly Oriented Consciousness, to interpret, what this Is.
But do the Useful Idiots understand it? No. Hell No. They have become increasingly Preposterous in their Behaviors. And All they “Care” about, is trying to get Us to beLIEve, in Their great Plan, that comes with Blatant Designs to Cripple Humanity, by Literally, Attempting, to “Re-Write” what we are Told is the Imperfect, Guilty, Human Genome.
Besides that, You cannot make this Shit up the last few years plus have been so insane. Previous to 2020 this wouldn’t have even passed the editors as a bad movie script it’s all been So Stupid. There’s a Reason critical thinkers are calling it Clown World..
But “They”, Don’t, See it. Isn’t that Bizarre?
We know they’re Lying, and They Know they’re Lying, and “They”, Know that we Know, THEY, ARE, LYING! Yet they do it anyways. What, on Earth, do “they”, Think, they’re doing?
Why, are these Voltaire’s Bastards, these Courtesans, serving such a Disgusting Beast System, in service of some Grand Mission to Enslave Us All, even themselves, to the “Internet of Bodies”, and the “Internet of Things”, to turn Us, into Fuel, for their Insane Machine World they’re Building, Right in Front of our Eyes!
And yet, Most people, Don’t See it, so they continue to muddle on, secretly Praying to go back to the Lives they had before, Even though they know, even though the useful idiots are Literally telling Us, what, “they”, Are, Doing. ..
Well. At Least, what they are Attempting to do. And massive amounts of blood and treasure have been thrown at this.
Turning us into Fuel for Their Machine World.
Their Alchemical “World”, even though, Not One of them, if they’re being Honest, Under Stand, what “this”, is?
They are Lying.
They’re using their technology, to Lie, more Efficiently, and Effectively. They’re Protecting Their “Creation”, with tricks and “Laws”
And with misconceptions being floated as Factual Reality, with the Absurdist Lie it’s for “Our” “Protection”, when it is So Obviously about Enslaving us to their Utopian Fantasy, but the “Spells” they’re using are Completely Disingenuous.
To Create the Right “Conditions”, here in our Material Reality, to create AGI, or “Artificial, General, ‘Intelligence’”. You know, if That doesn’t sound like a Deal with the “Devil”, I don’t “know”, what does. A little wink and a nod to those out there who claim that we are nothing but “biological computers”, who are creating the conditions for a NEW “super intelligence” that will Probably “Save Us” from “Ourselves”
OK Satan.
But back to the main point of this post, and back to the “abduction”, That has brought “me” here. In order to “transcend” the first law of thermodynamics, “Science“, played a little trick in the early 1900s. They came up with the concept of “quantum physics”. Now there are a lot of loopholes in quantum physics. A lot of “concepts” to work out. But the main idea is this:
There is a place, we’re Told, way down, where physics” becomes ‘Funny’.
And the farther we “look” down, where “physics“ becomes funny, the more Ideas we craft about how it all happened. In Fact, a Person described as one of the smartest people ever to live came up with something called “M Theory”. What does the M stand for? Amusingly, he doesn’t say, so other scientists, speculate about it, for Fun. These are three leading contenders.
“Mysterious”
“Magic”
“Matrix”
Is there really any further commentary required there? But the point is that there are “dimensions” from which material reality seems to spring forth from. Interestingly, this was a product of human consciousness. He “abducted” this Idea. And That IDEA, is Unbelievably, Driving, All of This. The idea goes that through creating “quantum computers“, we can use this magical mysterious matrix theory, to tap into those dimensions, and create a “singularity” point, from which “AGI”, might Emerge.
This is why top theorists in the world of artificial intelligence speak in terms of angels or demons. Because the leading theory as to how it all happens is one that relies on magic alchemy to work.
And Everything we’re Doing, is Reliant, upon the idea that by using this magical alchemical project of connecting all the things and trolling for data, to be “processed” through what is essentially a technical Ouija board, we’re going to solve all the mysteries of the universe, by Creating a new “Super Intelligence”, that will bridge the “problem”, the “hard problem” of “consciousness”.
And once we do that, well, the promises are endless, life extension, the end of all disease, super materials and ways of creating energy for free, but again, what Is “energy”? How do we Violate the first law of thermodynamics, create something, from seemingly nothing, if we are to believe them, based upon their Own musings?
So I’m positing, that what we’re in Fact Seeing, is nothing less than this attempt.
To violate the laws of the Universe.
And if you believe in “God”, The “god” of countless creation stories, then you should know one thing:
There is no greater sin than to try to take his place.
And there will be no greater punishment than when we do, or more importantly, when we engage in the Act, of “THINKING” that we Can.
I think Quantum Theory is really a version of techno-daoism.
