teach me how you pray.fdt
teach me how you pray
what you mean when you say omg.
agnostic or atheist or autodeist or mix?
have you read venus in furs?
how do you respect the magic of nature which out technology allows us
but a taste of understanding
what makes up reality and frames your desire, your abilities?
how do you make sense of this phenomenon of staying and
staying and staying alive in this evermoreso visibly exploding galactic clock
of which we have posterised visualizations hanging in every school in the third world.
why we refer to environment in almost purely pain-based terminology, yet can't quite make the leap to calling the system alive? that's the most basic level of respect, in my opinion, acknowledging life and we just can't do it for the environment or for viruses, the decision makers of our demise. there is a logic to behind it all and this logic is counterentropic desire on some level. what distinguishes it from life, other than we can't understand the logic?
We don't have a good definition of life because we can't yet model the phenomenon of the self-motivated machine on a computer (sorry for the new existential crisis, but this is important) and we can;t do that because our nearly ubiquitous verbal model of animal motivation (in psychology, electrical engineering and computer science)-- our own motivation, is a paradoxically false dichotomy: The pleasure-seeking, pain-avoiding model that makes so much intuitive sense...
For if we are to attempt to quantify pain, the primary animal motivation system, we would turn to cell death, no?
current estimates of cell death in a typical adult are around 10^11,
meaning that literally everything that results in the the sensations regarded as pleasurable has a pain prerequisite and that pleasure is a function of pain, not its opposite.
giving this false dichotomy to our perfectly lovely, but notoriously linear-thinking engineers
created an impossible problem.
Alan Turing predicted that by 2000 we would have human level AI.
When this didn't happen, there was this massive giving up in the field, and the emergence of this painfully passive terminology to refer to this problem and eventually it ended up in this category of impossible problems that could potentially lead to the apocolypse. thus, no-one without a ph.d can even touch this stuff while being supported by a university.
they're keeping our own minds from us and I want to give them back, considering it's the meaning of life and all, the greatest existential philosophical unsolved math problem that exists.
So you see, we need a revolution or a few and I feel I was born for it.
What do you think about the meaning of names? what do your names mean?
I was born David Hamer Atlas, Beloved of god+guy with the world on his shoulders, son of Charles Hawk, whom I did not have the pleasure of meeting until I was 18, when he taught me to ride and fix motorcycles for two years before he died of lymphoma. I went from being an only child, son of a feminist english professor, Marilyn Judith Atlas, to one of 7 and an uncle and great uncle over a dozen times. wish I kept in contact with them better. I essentially feel without family, alone in this world constantly, just me and the planet. I try to make contact with the planet a few times a day, using the crystals I've come upon in my life to transwer energy. it's how I pray. I try to communicate thankfulness and purpose and hope for help in this journey. it's terrifying everyday, but the only one I can imagine.
Cultural makeup: Moroccan Jew x Eastern European probably norse. I look white, but don't feel white and am not typically treated as a white person by everyone else. a lot of it is respect communicated with eye contact and active listening and I honestly have fun doing it because everyone has a piece of this existential puzzle and all the pieces as well and I long to give us all the power to explore this with a cheap, open sourced k'nex-based 3dprintable robotics kit with raspberry pi, arduino, and android that can keep itself charged (inductively) in a user-built maze environment. I want to make it fun and harness the addictive power of pokemon on even 20 somethings haha and use it in a productive way that could help us all.
We shouldn't fear creating a model of the self-motivated machine, instead we should realize that a robot with a model of pain will always be controllable, as we know how to make it motivated to be passive, as with any animal, with acute pain.
Without this control, I believe we will soon give rise to machines which can situationally analyze the environment far faster than we can and store data far beyond what we are capable, whose motivations we cannot only not understand, but which they are also not capable of communicating.
The second stage of fearmongering to unite us all stealthily, but in an extremely powerful capacity is by playing off the universal strive for control and the feelings associated with being in control, all of which is illusory, theoretically, given our environment could become unlivable with volcanic ash and a thousand other different catastrophies at any moment. I don't know if any of this will happen, but I view it as a respectful obligation that in the event that this is the case and that mother earth needs to cleanse from the byproducts of our technology which cause cancer in all known forms of life and which are dealt with rather violently in animals, through apoptosis, magified a billion times to the size of the planet, her wet-tech (plants and us) are preserved, nay utilzed to frame a survivable environment off of her. This is how to love a planet, how to love the universe that I believe is keeping us alive for a purpose, this exact purpose. a love maximization equation. this is my definition of love. what's yours? if you feel it can connect with mine in any way speak up because we need legions of lovers to teach each other how to respect and help make everyone feel tiny yet precious and oh, so capable if given the right kinds of love and support. I think it can unite sworn enemies, with their own ignorance, because it will be presented in a fun way-- I want to harness the addictive power of pokemon and bring peace for 10,000 years.
(this is why I cry(praise the holy whygasm))
