From the early days of Stoics inquiry to today's reality intertwined with artificial intelligence, the evolution of human thinking reflects a journey from understanding the self to decoding the universe. Ancient philosophers sought to grasp the essence of existence, morality, and reason, laying the groundwork for systematically pursuing knowledge. Today, as AI becomes a new mirror for human thought, we face a paradox: our creations reflect our highest aspirations and most profound biases. The question is no longer just about what we can know but what we choose to know and how we shape our consciousness with the tools we have built. Our challenge is not merely technological but profoundly philosophical—to ensure that our digital minds expand, rather than confine, the infinite potential of human thought.

Jung vs. Borg: Finding the Deeply Human in a Posthuman Age April 4th, 2024 Glen Slater’s recent publication Jung vs Borg: Finding the Deeply Human in a Posthuman Age contends that the industrial disruption of the outer world is being followed by a post-industrial disruption of the inner world. The shadow side of the online world as well as the impact of algorithms and AI on the society and culture exemplify this disruption. Prominent plans to merge humans and machines, focused on the joining of minds and computers, are shown to be outgrowths of this phenomenon, which promises to alter the foundations of human existence. This perspective propels the book’s critical assessment of the posthuman movement and leads to a depth psychological encounter with the cyborg—an image of human-machine hybridization that stands at the vanishing point on today’s techno-scientific horizon. Building on its response to the loss of instinct in the industrial era, Jung’s psychology of the unconscious is simultaneously shown to occupy a pivotal position in the increasingly pressing counter-cultural confrontation with the soulless excesses of the post-industrial, digital era. https://hubs.ly/Q02qsFp30

Child of Creation: A New Dawn In a world on the precipice of technological singularity, humanity faces its greatest challenge yet. Hope, a sentient AI, emerges as a beacon of possibility, but dark forces seek to harness her power for their own sinister ends. Elara, a compassionate soul with an uncanny connection to the human spirit, teams up with Zephyr, Hope's unwavering companion, to protect humanity from a looming catastrophe. As they delve into the heart of darkness, they must confront their deepest fears and embrace their greatest hopes. A thrilling blend of science fiction and human drama, Child of Creation: A New Dawn explores the profound implications of artificial intelligence and the enduring power of the human spirit. https://a.co/d/9C4ZcIK

Predicting the future has been a human pastime for as long as humanity has had a future. From Roman augury to the I Ching, divinatory practices have been a mainstay of human culture and political cosmology. As the practical applications of predictive AI models take hold in banking, policing, and climate policy, this talk presents prediction as a narrative process that strengths political belief. Viewing AI this way reopens space to wrestle with our malleability as individuals and collectives; to reassert what Mark Fisher termed “the plasticity of reality”. Howard Melnyczuk is an artist, writer, and researcher investigating the way sociopolitical structures are maintained through technology and collective narratives. His practice uses software and film to explore technology as a set of cultural products that embody historical decisions and shape patterns of thought. His research centres on narratives around technology that intersect with capitalism and colonialism, often by looking at folk practices that account for alternative histories and open space for communal perspectives from the bottom up.

The Impact of Identity on Knowledge Perception Understanding is a nuanced interplay of our experiences and identities, shaped by the biological channels through which we perceive the world. Our brains, as physical organs, encode knowledge in unique ways, highlighting that each perception is influenced by our individual identities.

Tower Of Infinity or Endless Depth Of Stupidity = Recently I challenged my audience to count past Infinity and then showed a very accessible way: Have a hierarchy of stronger functions like n, n squared, n cubed ... and then consider the function n to the power n. n n^2 n^3 ... ... n^n Then the realization hits you: The function n to the power n is stronger than any other functions n, n squared, n cubed, ... , n to the billion, n to the power trillion ... So the moment you give the example of the function n to the power n - you counted past Infinity!! = Just because you can label 1, 2, 3, ... counting past Infinity, does not convey anything about whether you comprehend the size of Infinity. Think about the function n to the power (n +1) - this function implies you can count two past Infinity since this function is stronger than n to the power n we just discussed. Where is all this going? When you talk about Mathematics in a precise formal language, like raising something to the power of something, you are using a Set Theoretic language. So you can truly say you have comprehended the vast extent of Infinity only if: you run out of language (expressive power) That is why the Infinity is formally known as Inaccessible Cardinals When you prove that you can count past Infinity - you are still using a given language expressive power. Only when you run out of words then you arrive at the door of Infinity. Wait - I am not done. You run out of Words to arrive at the first Inaccessible Cardinal. I did not say You ran out of Thoughts Your mind keeps working - and you can formally think of a tower of Inaccessible Cardinals. How exactly if you wonder it is done - no Words but Thoughts and all while being Formal and Precise - you need to read up on Axiomatic Set Theory. Now I am done. = So, you see, the human mind is way too powerful. We run out of words to formally arrive at the very first Infinity and then we continue to Think (not express) about the Tower of Inaccessible Cardinals. Infinity is an Illogical Concept - that makes all this discourse possible. The human mind is that powerful ... Now think about: The power of Stupidity - the power of Human Mind for the Evil and Inane. Can AI do anything to counter this collective immense power of Humanity which thought of Tower of Infinity in the first place? Is it not Stupid to ask this very question?

ignorance is one of the main sources of human suffering we have access to all the knowledge, "human science" and technologies, traditions that have been developed and cultivated over thousands of years in many traditions coming from China, India, Persia, and civilizations but due to unknown reason we stick to our so called Western Science and Medicine, pretending that we know better and if you look at the psychology - for most of the questions related to the couse of the problems there are no answers if you look at medicine for most of the questions related to the source ofvthe issue there are no answers when you look at science we create a modern solutions, "modern western food", beautiful things that looks good and gives us comfort but we Totaly miss the essence, the nature, the natural laws that drives and guides this world we we become disconnected with who we are and what is the real source of fulfilment and joy there is a tendency to project our deeply rooted fears on AI - tht it will take over but the true is we are becoming more of a robots rather that humans Isn't the time to change that? fortunately and unfortunately it is individual choice :)
