Survival of the fittest, thanks solely to our fragile thinking they were weaker because they didn’t outcompete us. It just isn’t so, just isn’t as fit as survival of adaptable relationships . (What’s the longest any one species has survived, dominated? Now how long have we had forests? And what are forests, what do they do? Do they dominate? Maybe you’re looking at this the wrong way?)

The Road to Unfreedom

Blunt High

Just as coming to terms with your lack of free will is the first affective correction.

The same way remembering that I was in a simulation could help me re-access the reality before I was high, remembering that these feelings are all simulations, either through meditation or recalling of a previous instance of this, can break them.

It’s the motion between dualities that helps you unify them.

After duality, unity. 

This motion is eureka and renewable for empathy. The negotiation between other and self leaves you better approximated for the world. It’s how you scale outwards. 

Who is quarantine for? Not you. Whoever you were, what meditation is for. For discomfort, in all cases. What is quarantine for? Spending time with family. For “health” and growing our own food. For learning from all the bastard children of self-reliance. We really could use this time. For forcing our hand: open. For decentralizing globalization into distributed interdependency.

Complex systems (life and ecosystems, resillient and sustainable things) are non-utopian. They came about without a designer. They work based off of feedback – the more they can receive and react meta-adaptively to the world and their relationships with it, the better they work. Our system is not constructed to receive that feedback very well, where there’s an oscillation between left and right – the  left gets in power it gets overly enthusiastic about solution-making and it goes too far, that  causes a backlash, the right takes over the system and becomes overly stingy and takes apart the solution-making – that’s a very crude attempt at homeostasis, which is not proportional in quantity or design to the speed and level at which we change and change our world. A hummingbird functions on the basis of automatic feedbacks that detect perturbations in different parameters and adjust caracteristics so that the animal can maintain itself. If we’re to build a civilization that is adaptive and adaptable sustainably, it will be based on feedbacks that allow it to self-navigate and self correct with less and less of an added-on-top political argument and powergrab to a complex problem. Society should be liberating: just as the hummingbird is liberated from thinking about regulating its temperature, we should relegate our pure survival and sustainability to the training ground, not keep it as our stalemate.The Maya was such a far-sighted society that they needed a unit of time, the bactun, to describe things of 400 year timespans. They built these massive pyramids that don’t appear to have a material purpose. They have a spiritual purpose, but no material purpose. Why would such a far-sighted civilization engage in a kind of waste like constructing these temples. The Maya may have found a mechanism for not turning new resources into more Mayans or more Maya consumption. By investing in these large temple structures, effectively giant public works projects, they enhanced the lives of the Mayan populace without creating so many Mayans in a good year than every bad year resulted in a lot of tribalism from scarcity. In a bad year, you don’t invest in the temples. What you can’t tell from the outside is that these temples were growing. They were layered on top of each other, and the larger the temple, the more far-sighted they were.

There’s a bunch of dualities to unite – through what practices and how exactly?

(The tools which constrain us to make our adaptivity possible are the same tools which make self-deception and externalities possible.)

High bandwidth first, scale second. Clarity is capacity, not consumption. We’re very likely to need tech for the scaling dimension of the process to happen in time and autopoietically. We’ll need tech that feed us back the capacity-building we outsourced to its capacity. We’ve failed with all tech. Facebook is high sample size, high diversity, low bandwidth. We need to experiment, fail and iterate at embodying the transformations we'll have to masterfully unfold at scale on time. We need the experience (and some of the affect) of failing ourselves, of selling out.I can imagine low bandwidth, low-fidelity VR where the thing in your ear is actually allowing you to train your body into more manoeuvrability or more intuition in real time in sync with others or with difficult real-life situations you are training on. At early stages of the person’s development the VR can provide the immersive conflict (see good conflicts, good challenges); this makes it low-stakes, heightening intensity. At later stages the person sees just the real world but interfaces procedurally with an ability to tune sharp or tune flat their reactions. In such a way that if they take the device off the change stays. The device is only needed to tune, not to maintain. Like psychedelics, it should tap into that person’s personal connections, memories and existing neural circuitries via chemicals (how does it access and assess the circuitries? via the chemicals?) Also like psychedelics or sex, once you finish the exercise, some phantom memory of the motion should remain as a counterpoint to your other selves.

Going through the self-realization of both movements with them, you will go through the complexity of a student. The teaching moves on when you can see then person’s limits on the other side of the window of lessons and comfort settles down. Their blind-spots, now yours, lead you to your next reluctant teacher.

The Point? You’re learning to unite, not unify. Cycling back and forth the cycling becomes an engine… Complexify your duality.

“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island in the midst of seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own little direction, have harmed us but not harmed our selves. But some day in the piercing together of dissociated certainty we shall either go mad or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."

It helps that the virus is the type of problem that enables us all to focus on the mutually constructive graspable actions. Spending time with family. health, growing our own food. The virus is forcing us to be more locally-centered while simultaneously having all local nodes interconnected. We really could use this time to decentralize globalization into (systematic sovereignty / distributed interdependency).Climate change and automation are more diffuse problems. We’re good at even emergencies. We’re self-destructive with chronic worsenings. and the impact of the explosion depends on the height of the fall. To help even out the extremities and slow burns of life we need to chase both into practice.

The second person isn’t all better. It’s lost some things which the first had, because it was partly a reaction of the first. You need some third person. The honeymoon is over. And heart break. Come back. You go looking,and come back. You’re a spiderweb making. And death. And come back,To listen late night conversations and out of body experiences. Past exhaustion and beyond fast.

The people who’ve been grasping at themselves need to break themselves apart, the people who’ve broken themselves apart need to put back together more than they knew they were. Deliver in envelope.

Often a case of breaking you out of your left hemisphere. You’ll feel this moment, drop after drop, people sharing genuine surprising, out doing and into receiving. Slap after slap. Social Presencing Truce becomes truth.

We know it’s not a state, but a motion, a direction. A sequence, a homeometastasis, a movement of movements that helps different people stretch in sync of harmony and dissonance back and forth towards the moving target between adaptive and adaptable. It’s exercise,

All along, for 3 billion years,what mattered was first to the finish line. Evolution was slow. We found a back door – behavior –an even backer door: technology. Now technology’s moving us faster than behavior or evolution can see. And there’s the finish line, gaining an edge is the right move every move, except for the last move.

There are so many senses you need rescuing for yourself: from trumpet to Spanish and surrealistic catches.
