The Reason AI is an Existential Threat So To Speak

The programming - as far as I can tell - does not include language that helps competing programs prioritize. What do I mean? Humans know how to negotiate common goals while simultaneously working on individual goals. AI has not been made smart enough to know how to do this. And realistically this causes two problems …

Collective Clearing

It feels like I’m going to be stuck here forever. It feels like if I really want to get out of this living situation, I will need to accept living in a vehicle. Not because I don’t have money or a modest monthly benefit, but because it isn’t enough. This is the theme that is …

AS IF II

They’ve forced me to become an American. An apple with enough sugar to kill ya. Drink the koolaid. Drink it or die before we tell ya to. Drink the koolaid, watch the programs and stay far far away from people. Go to work. Go to school. But you’re too weird. Stay home. Get on your …

AS IF: Ode to the Gonz

Oh where is my consciousness, lost in a stream somewhere, a land before time. Float with me awhile, down that lazy, hazy river of thought trying to come to grips with its inability to deed. Writing is that strange act of sharing authorship of an idea with a reader. You read it just as if …

Resilience

So, I have been secretly following the political stuff, election year and all that. Secretly because it’s divisive and people are crazy and it’s discouraged for those on the spiritual path. The spiritual path as it stands for the seeker, has two loud messages being shouted at the moment. One is to use your spiritual …

The Authors of Quantum Language

Today (yesterday) was such a strange whirlwind of thoughts and memories. I’m beginning to get a little more assurance in my own perception of the world. No one has the answers. There is not a “this is how to human” manual. There is an endless sea, a vast remarkable field of potential, more variables and …

Opposing Views

There is a field beyond right and wrong… There’s a lot of talk these days about the polarity people are experiencing. How desperate people are to hold rigidly to their beliefs. Doubling down, despite evidence or damage, or common sense. Most people will say, oh that’s because of social media. The retribution is quick and …

Netflix and now I’m not chill

This is basically a review of Nanette but in my "here's what the emotions it mirrored within me sound like" kind of way. Something’s wrong and I can’t put my finger on it. I think it might be everything. Everything is wrong. I’m angry in that oh, shit, that ain’t pretend anger every body run …

Dear Joe

Dear Joe: Hey Brother how’s it hanging? Um, I have some things on my mind and I don’t feel comfortable talking about them with anyone else. You’ve always been good at being that sounding board for all things embarrassing that would normally make my inner child run kicking, screaming and crying in a red faced …

This is my title

Sometimes it feels like I’m talking from a hole in the ground rather than a soapbox. A nice hefty hole someone dug for us loudmouths in which a bunch of assholes make the rounds shoveling dirt in and passersby try to hear without appearing like they’re listening cause they don’t want to end up in …
