if you’ve ever heard of the futures cone, it’s this idea of you know, this kind of widening aperture; the further out you look, the less predictable things are.

if 00:12:01 you're some some alien species that has the ability to literally care about every other being on your planet right in the linear range I mean humans I don't think can do that
for: - adjacency - between - cognitive cone - bodhisattva -adjacency statement - Bodhisattva could be such a being that Michael Levin refers to
- If you're some some alien species
- that has the ability to literally care about every other being on your planet right in the linear range
- I don't think humans can do that but
- if there is a creature somewhere that has that
level of advance
- where they can actually have care and compassion for every being and they work towards it
- they would have a much larger cognitively cone than we do you know more more advanced in that way

summary
- a trans-disciplinary attempt to develop a framework to deal with a diversity of emerging non-traditional intelligence from new bio-engineered species to AI based on the Buddhist conception of care and compassion for the other.
- very thought-provoking and some of the explanations and comparisons to evolution actually help to cast a new light on old Buddhist ideas.
- this is a trans-disciplinary paper synthesizing Buddhist concepts with evolutionary biology

the bodhisattva vial which is which is huge 01:16:56 um it's this it's this commitment it's it's a medical it's the commitment to enlarge your cognitive apparatus to enable bigger goals to enable you to pursue bigger goals with more compassion

- interesting adjacency between:
- Buddhism and
- biology:
- Adjacency statement
- The bodhisattva vow is a commitment to enlarge your cognitive apparatus, your cognitive light cone of compassion to enable the pursuit of bigger goals

paraphrase
- a human being certainly has a light cone that does not belong to any of its pieces (ie cells)
- at the conscious level of a human being, we have
- goals
- preferences
- hopes
- dreams
- narratives
- humans occupy spaces that do not belong to our individual cells, tissues or organs
- those smaller parts work in
- physiological space
- transcriptional space
- biomolecular space
- those smaller parts work in
- When we were an embryo we worked in morphogenetic space
-
comment
- Since MET implies that these smaller structures of which we are constituted like
- cells and
- sub-cellular structures like mitochondria
- were descended from individual organisms long ago in deep history, those contemporary proxies are occupying their own umwelt
- Since MET implies that these smaller structures of which we are constituted like

if to do thatis human, if that's what it tak§, tnen I am a human being after all. 'Fully, freely, gladly, for tneficst time.
I have to bring up James Cone and Albert Camus again -- but this time I'm reminded of Camus' The Rebel) and this paragraph from Cone's Black Power and Black Theology: "The crucial question, then, for the black man, is 'How should I respond to a world which defines me as a nonperson?' That he is a person is beyond question, not debatable. But when he attempts to relate as a person, the world demands that he respond as a thing. In this existential absurdity, what should he do? Should he respond as he knows himself to be, or as the world defines him?" Rebellion is what Cone, Camus, and Le Guin decide to do when they redefine what it means to be a person, to be human.

We regularly, in the interests of Plato-worship, disembody language and reason, with the narrow-mindedness Mark Johnson points out in an important recent book, The Body in the Mindl3 Our persistent evasion of the "Q" question makes for a great deal of self-centered, self-serving preaching and a great deal of self-satisfied practice. We do sometimes follow that master of contemptuous, self-satisfied self-absorp-tion, the Platonic Socrates, closely indeed.
This reminds me of Albert Camus' thoughts on absurdity, and what James Cone says in his book Black Theology and Black Power: "All aspects of this society have participated in the act of enslaving blacks, extinguishing Indians, and annihilating all who question white society's right to decide who is human....Absurdity arises as the black man seeks to understand his place in the white world. The black man does not view himself as absurd; he views himself as human. But as he meets the white world and its values, he is confronted with an almighty No and is defined as a thing. This produces the absurdity."
