It is interesting to think about artificial intelligence as actually having some potential beyond mimicry, yet I'm constantly led back to the moment of intelligence being beyond thought. Intelligence is revealed through nature, through the forest, as simple reality.
I am reminded, just as politics demand and devour, so does science and math.
The latest rage is providing mathematical reduction to history in order to shorten it. Therefore as well AI is the simulation, so the entire world becomes fake and quick.
You can't escape it they say, that it isn't just computers, everything is just a simulation.
I thorougly reject the notion that I must delve into politics, and I laugh at the notion that everything is fake.
Politics are a system of control, a method by which those like myself are marginalized and essentially sidelined in a society that practices ecocide as a legitimate buisness. Why would I for one moment supine myself before such intolerable behavior?
No thanks, I firmly refuse.
Nor have I ever discovered, despite a few spiritual experiences that this life is but a brief artificial dalliance.
The fact that soulless psychopaths run around killing whatever they can does not make this place a fantasy. Rather it should remind us that beauty and grace require space beyond that controlled by demented assholes.
There simply IS a spiritual side to nature. Literally spirit, in the sense of essence that makes up this complex manifestation. All is living, the canyon breathes, storms have personality, the depth of life is endless.
If there was a politics, or a religion that made room for art, that allowed the special places to live. If this politic/religion was about something else besides power then perhaps then I would listen. However, all of this is unrealized.
Since this is the case I will continue to honour spirits. It will be the dream and vision that guides me, and I will continue to pursue my love this society killed, to discover in what way it may transform and become immortal.
Lovely read Siofra. 8 years ago I was advised to get advice from Victor re a faithfree Monastery i was afixin to set up in Central Dublin. He listened with edgy politeness and sighed summararily "you'd find a lot more spirituality in a brothel."
Fantastic, Siofra!

Trauma is what brings us home to Natural Intelligence. Love it
This is brilliant
