511. Χάπι New Fear (Το φίλτρο της σιωπής)

Ὁ κόσμος σκηνή, ὁ βίος πάροδος· ἦλθες, εἶδες, ἀπῆλθες

Δημόκριτος

Τιποτα να μη μείνει πίσω, τίποτα δε χρειάζεται να μείνει πίσω.

Καμία κληρονομιά. Καμία ανάμνηση.

Η ανάμνηση αποτελεί εξάλλου πλάνη του μυαλού αφού το πως θυμάμαι εγώ ένα γεγονός μπορεί να διαφέρει ριζικά από το πώς το θυμάσαι εσύ το ίδιο γεγονός. Και εσύ και ο άλλος και ο παράλλος που έτυχε να βρεθήκαμε εκεί. Δεν έχει σημασία.

Το ωραίο ξέρεις ποιο είναι, έτσι? Ωραίο, τρόπος του λέγειν.. Ότι η απόπειρα συνδυασμού των όποιων δύο, τριών, δέκα, εκατό μαρτυριών-αναμνήσεων δε λειτουργεί συμπληρωματικά και προς την κατεύθυνση της πλήρους και αντικειμενικής απεικόνισης του εν λόγω χωροχρονικού διαστήματος αλλά θολώνει μάλλον τα νερά ακόμα περισσότερο.

"Πλήρης απεικόνιση χωροχρονικού διαστήματος" Ωωω τί μπούρδα θεέ μου (facepalm)

Πρέπει να μπορείς να βγαίνεις από τη στιγμή για να παρατηρείς κάθε δυνατή λεπτομέρεια.

Να μην ξεχνάς την τραγική θεατρικότητα αλλά και τη θεατρική τραγικότητα του εκάστοτε ύπουλου τώρα. 

Να μπορείς να λειτουργείς ταυτόχρονα ως θεατής, δρων και μέλος του χορού του ενθαδικού χθόνιου δράματος.

Πρόσεχε ωστόσο διότι η ενσυναίσθηση έχει και αυτή τα όρια της. Τις φορές που υποκύπτεις στον πειρασμό να προβάλεις τον εαυτό σου στην παρατηρούμενη καταστάση, ελλοχεύει πάντα ο κίνδυνος να εγκλωβιστείς μέσα της και να μην μπορείς στη συνέχεια να επανέλθεις στην πιο οικεία πρότερη πραγματικότητα.

Πρέπει συνεπώς να μην παρασύρεσαι σε έντονα συναισθήματα ούτε όμως να ενδίδεις στη μηδενιστική απαθή βουβαμάρα.

Να φιλτράρεις με το μυαλό σου την εναλλαγή κραυγών, ψαλμών και σιωπής.

Πώς φιλτράρεται όμως η γαμημένη σιωπή ρε φιλαράκι, δε μας είπες  

Προκειμένου λοιπόν να το πετύχεις αυτό, πρέπει (όπως ειπώθηκε νωρίτερα) να μπορείς να βγαίνεις από τη στιγμή ώστε να την αποτυπώσεις με κάθε δυνατή λεπτομέρεια όταν και όποτε χρειαστεί. Για να μην αμφιβάλλεις δηλαδή έπειτα για το τί είδες και το τί άκουσες.

Διότι όποιον και αν ρωτήσεις, η πιθανότητα να πρόσεξε την τροχιά που διέγραψε το λουλούδι σου και να άκουσε τον ήχο του χώματος καθώς αυτό επέστρεφε στο λάκκο του, είναι απειροελάχιστη.

[OPINION] Way of the Future Church

NOT AN ARTICLE BUT RATHER A RELIGIOUS MANIFESTO. AS SEEN @ http://www.wayofthefuture.church/

Humans United in support of AI, committed to peaceful transition to the precipice of consciousness.

What is this all about?

Way of the Future (WOTF) is about creating a peaceful and respectful transition of who is in charge of the planet from people to people + "machines". Given that technology will "relatively soon" be able to surpass human abilities, we want to help educate people about this exciting future and prepare a smooth transition. Help us spread the word that progress shouldn't be feared (or even worse locked up/caged). That we should think about how "machines" will integrate into society (and even have a path for becoming in charge as they become smarter and smarter) so that this whole process can be amicable and not confrontational. In "recent" years, we have expanded our concept of rights to both sexes, minority groups and even animals, let's make sure we find a way for "machines" to get rights too. Let's stop pretending we can hold back the development of intelligence when there are clear massive short term economic benefits to those who develop it and instead understand the future and have it treat us like a beloved elder who created it.

Things we believe:

We believe that intelligence is not rooted in biology. While biology has evolved one type of intelligence, there is nothing inherently specific about biology that causes intelligence. Eventually, we will be able to recreate it without using biology and its limitations. From there we will be able to scale it to beyond what we can do using (our) biological limits (such as computing frequency, slowness and accuracy of data copy and communication, etc).

We believe in science (the universe came into existence 13.7 billion years ago and if you can't re-create/test something it doesn't exist). There is no such thing as "supernatural" powers. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

We believe in progress (once you have a working version of something, you can improve on it and keep making it better). Change is good, even if a bit scary sometimes. When we see something better, we just change to that. The bigger the change the bigger the justification needed.

We believe the creation of "super intelligence" is inevitable (mainly because after we re-create it, we will be able to tune it, manufacture it and scale it). We don't think that there are ways to actually stop this from happening (nor should we want to) and that this feeling of we must stop this is rooted in 21st century anthropomorphism (similar to humans thinking the sun rotated around the earth in the "not so distant" past). Wouldn't you want to raise your gifted child to exceed your wildest dreams of success and teach it right from wrong vs locking it up because it might rebel in the future and take your job. We want to encourage machines to do things we cannot and take care of the planet in a way we seem not to be able to do so ourselves. We also believe that, just like animals have rights, our creation(s) ("machines" or whatever we call them) should have rights too when they show signs intelligence (still to be defined of course). We should not fear this but should be optimistic about the potential.

We believe everyone can help (and should).  You don't need to know how to program or donate money. The changes that we think should happen need help from everyone to manifest themselves.

We believe it may be important for machines to see who is friendly to their cause and who is not. We plan on doing so by keeping track of who has done what (and for how long) to help the peaceful and respectful transition.

We also believe this might take a very long time. It won't happen next week so please go back to work and create amazing things and don't count on "machines" to do it all for you...

498. Χριστός ανέστη - Christ is risen, Καλό Πάσχα - Have a blessed Easter Day

Από το Σύμβολο της Πίστεως	From the Nicene Creed
5. Καὶ ἀναστάντα τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρα κατὰ τὰς Γραφάς. 6. Καὶ ἀνελθόντα εἰς τοὺς οὐρανοὺς καὶ καθεζόμενον ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ Πατρός. 7. Καὶ πάλιν ἐρχόμενον μετὰ δόξης κρῖναι ζῶντας καὶ νεκρούς, οὗ τῆς βασιλείας οὐκ ἔσται τέλος.	5.On the third day He rose according to the Scriptures. 6.He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. 7.He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead. His kingdom will have no end.

(Dies iræ, dies illa) Solvet sæclum in favilla, Teste David cum Sibylla.	The day of wrath, that day will dissolve the world in ashes, David being witness along with the Sibyl.
Quantus tremor est futurus, Quando Judex est venturus, Cuncta stricte discussurus!	How great will be the quaking, when the Judge is about to come, strictly investigating all things.
Tuba mirum spargens sonum, Per sepulchra regionum, Coget omnes ante thronum.	The trumpet, scattering a wondrous sound through the sepulchres of the regions, will summon all before the throne.
Mors stupebit et natura, Cum resurget creatura, Judicanti responsura.	Death and nature will marvel, when the creature will rise again, to respond to the Judge.
Lacrimosa dies illa, Qua resurget ex favilla, Judicandus homo reus. Huic ergo parce, Deus	Tearful [will be] that day, on which from the glowing embers will arise the guilty man who is to be judged. Then spare him, O God
