• Historically, AI was a tool, like any other technology. Whether it was good or bad was up to the user of that tool.
• You can use a hammer to build a house or kill someone.
• The hammer is not in any way making decisions about it.
• With advanced AI, we are switching the paradigm
  • **from tools
  • to agents**.
• The software becomes capable of making its own decisions, working independently, learning, self-improving, modifying.
• How do we stay in control?
• How do we make sure the tool doesn’t become an agent that does something we don’t agree with or don’t support?
• Maybe something against us

quote - constructing Cosmo local as a counter power to the current dominating power of trans-national finance - (see below) - The idea here is a potential ‘entanglement’ between the local and the translocal level, - which creates new levels of strength and capacity for the local. · Hence, faced with the potential hostility of nation-states that are under the influence of extractive forces of trans-national finance, - the local is no longer just the local, but - a local that is also cosmo-local, and - can mobilize counter-power. - Faced with the potential hostility of nation-states - that are under the influence of extractive forces of trans-national finance, - the local is no longer just the local, - but a local that is also cosmo-local, and - can mobilize counter-power.

// This is a very important observation Local communities by themselves don't have the capacity to stand up against trans-national power, but uniting together gives local communities this capacity and a fighting chance

• A large network of people accessing an open knowledge commons increases the local information capacity of a community,
  • compensating for the specific knowledge deficits of a community and enabling projects to co-create healthy, local,autonomous wellbeing culture and economy.

// - SUMMARY - Richard J Murphy provides us with a big picture of Trump's objective in his calculated Tariff strategy - It's not that it makes no sense and is a strategy of a madman - On the contrary, he has a very calculated and maniacal strategy that will result in significantly increasing the wealth of the elites - By creating high tariffs, he will bring about a global economic crash - Like the 2008 and 2020 crash, central banks will print trillions of dollars of money and handout bailouts - It is the elites who will receive these bailouts and inflate the value of their assets - This will - substantially increase the wealth of the rich - substantially increase the precarity of the vast majority of people - increase global inequality - financial inequality and - carbon inequality - This increased precarity is bad news for the climate crisis as a precarious population have less flexibility in reducing their carbon footprint and are more dependent than ever on whatever remain job and resources they still have - Given we have this knowledge of the elite's hidden strategy, can we the people intervene in any way? - We need to have an understanding of how elites see the world - The entire worldview of externalizing investment as a game of accumulation must be understood deeply - in order to find leverage points for rapid system change

quote - economic crashes are good for the elites - Trump plans to crash the global economy so that subsequent Quantitative Easing bailouts will inflate value of assets of the rich - Trump expect if he creates another world financial crisis - he believes there will be a bailout and - he believes that he and his cohort the world's wealthy will benefit from there being vastly more money in circulation with very little to use it on except the inflation in the value of the assets that they own - That is what he's banking on - This is literally I think his Economic Policy - This is what he expects as a consequence of his trade Wars - He doesn't care that we suffer - He won't care about the countries in the developing world - the vast majority of countries in the world in fact who have their debts denominated in dollars who will suffer enormously as a result of their struggle to find the means to repay those debts - As for the time being, the dollar is inflated in value and interest rates are too high he won't care that people are thrown out of work - All he cares about is the inflation in asset values and that is what the whole of the world economy is now geared to create - for the benefit of a few - at cost to the vast majority - Trump's Economic Policy makes sense if you see it in this way - He runs a bailout economic strategy that is going to work for him and his friends because - it will result when the world economy crashes and yet more money being made available through the central banking system to inflate the value of the assets that they own - And they'll say thank you very much we did very nicely out of that when can we have another crash?

// - Summary - This is an insightful article on the esoteric practices of the Tibetan Buddhist Nyingma school of Dzogchen practice. - It provides a first-hand account from a Western practitioners perspective and written in a clear, easy to understand language that stresses the phenomenological aspects and uncluttered with too much specialized esoteric language, other than the Tibetan or Sanskrit names of the major practices. - For anyone seriously practicing b meditation, of any or even no spiritual tradition, It helps to provide useful and major insights and experimental landmarks of the meditative journey into exploring the relationship between form and emptiness - The description helps to locate one in what it might be like to return to the pre-linguistic world of the newborn, experiencing an undivided reality for the first time, as a gestalt that does not reify all the emerging phenomena into separate silo'd objects - These descriptions on - recognising form from an emptiness starting point and - recognizing emptiness from a form starting point - remind me off the Guru Rinpoche song of Khenpo Tsultruim Gyamtso Rinpoche: - https://ktgrinpoche.org/songs/guru-rinpoche-prayer - All these forms that appear to eyes that see All things on the outside and the inside The environment and its inhabitants Appear, but let them rest where no self’s found

- Perceiver and perceived, when purified

Are the body of the deity, clear emptiness To the guru, for whom desire frees itself To Orgyen Pema Jungnay, I supplicate

- All these sounds that appear for ears that hear

Taken as agreeable or not Let them rest in the realm of sound and emptiness Past all thought, beyond imagination Sounds are empty, unarisen and unceasing These are what make up the Victor’s teaching To the teachings of the Victor, sound and emptiness To Orgyen Pema Jungnay, I supplicate

- All these movements of mind towards its objects

These thoughts that make five poisons and afflictions Leave thinking mind to rest without contrivances Do not review the past nor guess the future If you let such movement rest in its own place It liberates into the dharmakaya To the guru, for whom awareness frees itself To Orgyen Pema Jungnay, I supplicate

-  Grant your blessing that purifies appearance

Of objects perceived as being outside Grant your blessing that liberates perceiving mind The mental operation seeming inside Grant your blessing that, between the two of these Clear light will come to recognize its own face In your compassion, sugatas of all three times Please bless me, that a mind like mine be freed

"Biology, though, is not the Triassic’s only legacy to the modern world. For, with the breakup of Pangaea came the period’s final, Parthian shot. The mountainous region which stretches from Anatolia to Afghanistan, Parthia (as Iran, or Persia, was once known) included, began to rise in the late Triassic when a small continent now dubbed Cimmeria collided with the disintegrating supercontinent, squeezing up the seabed sediments between them.

The Cimmerian orogeny, as this mountain-building moment is called, has created a natural barrier fortress along the southern margin of what is now Earth’s largest continent, Eurasia, dividing Asia’s heartlands from Africa and Europe. This barrier—which includes the Anatolian plateau, the Iranian plateau and the mountains of Afghanistan—is difficult to pass and difficult to conquer. Together with its more recent, eastward, extension, the plateau of Tibet, it has proved to be history’s puppet-master. It has kept humanity’s three great civilisations—China, India and the Mediterranean-focused world of the Middle East, north Africa and Europe—apart, and allowed them, for good or ill, to develop separately, with (until recently) little intercourse between them."

// commennt - If humans did indeed begin in Africa and radiated out to the rest of the world over the course of time, - then once arrived in these far flung places, the travelers became isolated from the original African tribe by geological obstacles and losing any trace of their origin through vast spans of time. - It's ironic then that losing trace caused our ancestors to culturally evolve in isolation from each other - And when modern technology allowed humans to rediscover each other, the differences were so great that with cultural memory erased by time, it enabled the technologically advanced modern humans to perform extreme levels of other, exploiting and colonizing our fellow humans. - Imagine how different our world would be if we hadn't lost track of each other! What a different world we would be living in today! //

comment - Davidson does not provide much rich commentary on purpose, although it is quite an important idea to consider. - Intention is synonymous with purpose - The reason we consider the word intention instead is that we can compare to attention - intention - purpose or focus direction of future work (fourth pillar) - attention - focus awareness (first pillar) - Both of these acts are acts of constraining from the infinite field of our reality to a very narrow one - intention - among the infinite things I CAN do, I choose to do THIS specific one - attention - among all the infinite things I can sense, I choose to sense THIS specific one

for - quote - everyone is sacred - HH Dalai Lama - via Richard J. Davidson - His Holiness says every human being is the same - We're all built in the same way and every human being has the capacity to flourish - We would even go a little further and we would say that - every human being has the right to flourish and also - has all of the necessary constituents - the necessary components - the underlying mechanisms that enable uh a person to flourish or to have well-being

for - quote - comparison - wellbeing vs happiness - Richard J. Davidson - The idea isn't really to be happy all the time. - If a sad event or something tragic occurred, it would not be appropriate to be happy in that moment - At that moment, it's possible to be sad and have very high levels of wellbeing. That's why we prefer the term wellbeing. - Another term that we also use is "flourishing"

quote - technology alone is not an approach that will work - We need inner transformation as well - David Hinton - (see quote below) - Most environmental books now are about - practical technological innovation or - social changes - that have to happen. - My argument is that’s not going to work. - That’s not going to happen. - It requires a transformation in our assumptions about the nature of - what we are and - what the world is. - Otherwise, that instrumental and exploitative relation will remain. - adjacency - polycrisis - cannot be solved by technology or social changes alone - inner transformation about our deep assumptions about reality need to happen - Deep Humanity

adjacency - between - polycrisis - cannot be solved by technology or social changes alone - inner transformation of our deep assumptions about reality need to happen - Deep Humanity - adjacency relationship - David Hinton makes a good point here. Tech and the normal social changes are insufficient - We arrived here at this existential polycrisis due to holding deep invalid assumptions about - ourselves and - our relationship to nature - We need to explore deeply our human nature and the stories we've bought into, and how they led us here

history - connection stories that challenge the Genesis control story - Indigenous elders of North America share stories with some Westerners in the United States and Canada - These are shared in Europe and become popular, especially amongst intellectuals - It was refreshing to hear an account of nature that wasn't considered evil and that had to be tamed and brought into God's order - Alexander von Humboldt wrote some of these and was widely read - Thoreau, WHitman and Rousseau read Humboldt - British and German Romantics such as Wordworth, Shelly and Coleridge are also influenced by it and see the rediscovery of the wonder of nature as an antidote to the alienation of the industrial age - Completing the circle, American intellects Thoreau and Emerson read the Romantics, in turn influencing Whitman and John Muir

epiphany - adjacency - between - progress traps - losing sight of the sacred - the Genesis story of intentionality - the symbol is the abstraction - is the intentionality - is the incompleteness - in the light of the infinite emptiness - adjacency relationship - Epiphany occurred to me that Genesis is the story of control - and control is about intentionality - and intentional design is all about incompleteness - The written symbol is inherently incomplete - To control anything in nature requires intentionaity - We must design something with intention, which will always be incomplete - and here we immediately run up against the infinite - and the emergence of progress traps - In this sense, every design is a mistake, biding its time to reveal the form of its unintended consequences

key insight / summary - roots of anthropomorphism - Greek and Christian narratives - The Greeks defined the soul - The Genesis story established that we were the chosen species and all others are subservient to us - From that story, domination of nature becomes the social norm, leading all the way to the existential polycrisis / metacrisis we are now facing - This underscores the critical salience of Deep Humanity to the existential polycrisis - exploring the roots of language and how it changes our perceptions of reality - showing us how we construct our narratives at the most fundamental level, then buy into them

adjacency - between - sense of separation - first - settling down - human place - second - transition from oral to written language - adjacency relationship - Interesting that I was just reading an article on language and perception from the General Semantics organization: General Semantics and non-verbal awareness - The claim is that the transition from oral language to written language created the feeling of interiority and of a separate "soul". - This is definitely worth exploring!

explore claim - the transition from oral language traditions to writing led us to form the sense of interiority and of a "soul" separate from the body - This claim, if we can validate it, can have profound implications - Writing definitely led us to create much more complex words but we were able to do much more efficient timebinding - transmitting knowledge from one generation to the next. - We didn't have to depend on just a few elders to pass the knowledge on. With the invention of the printing press, written language got an exponential acceleration in intergenerational knowledge transmission. - This had a huge feedback effect on the oral language itself, increase the number of words and meanings exponentially. - There are complex recipes for everything and written words allow us to capture the complex recipes or instructions in ways that would overwhelm oral traditions.

adjacency - between - paleolithic hunter-gatherer - to neolithic agricultural village - dawn of agriculture village - cultivated fields around it - settling down - birth of the human space - the village - thus began - the great separation - adjacency relationship - He connects two important ideas together, the transition from - always-moving, never settling down paleolithic hunter-gatherer to - settled-down neolithic agricultural farmers - The key connection is that this transition from moving around and mobile to stationary is the beginning of our separation from nature - John Ikerd talks about the same thing in his article on the "three great separations". He identifies agriculture as the first of three major cultural separation events that led to our modern form of alienation - The development of a human place had humble beginnings but today, these places are "human-made worlds" that are foreign to any other species. - The act of settling down in one fixed space gave us a place we can continually build upon, accrue and most importantly, begin and continue timebinding - After all, a library is a fixed place, it doesn't move. It would be very difficult to maintain were it always moving.
