I don’t believe that a moth necessarily has a proper sense of self preservation or awareness to question life and ponder the future or past, to learn from its mistakes, or to strive for anything greater

For me, it’s the idea that even if I was reincarnated, but not as myself, I only have a limited amount of time in this body, with this level of awareness and intelligence, to do something meaningful with the time I have

The urgency of mortality is what defines our species, constantly working to shape our lives into enjoyable experiences before we all kick the bucket. Most creatures are driven off of instinct, neurological signals caused by the environment they live in. Humans have choice, and you only get choice while you live. You only get choice when you have a capacity to know there are options, and have the memory of past experience to form a judgement of which choice is more beneficial

I agree with your previous post in that I do believe we share a collective responsibility to pass the torch BECAUSE we only have a short period of time to contribute

One man's opinion is not truth... therefore we need to discuss all truths to determine our collective truths... WE will succeed.. of that Have zero doubt...Otherwise why are we connecting at this critical time...Pioneers have to be flexible but positive in their intent and those in this group have what it takes to succeed...along with those that will join us... They have failed to silence anyone as we still.communicate...Soon we will connect on an advanced level and at that point they will become the hunted.. Times they are a changing... ❤️

I find my brain has dwelled in this space for some time now, especially with how bleak the world seems lately. My latest endeavour is pursuing something I didn’t previously believe in which is artificial intelligence. With all the “fraud” already permeating our existence, it seems that AI will only empower those who seek to demolish “free will” -with profit being the singular goal.

My interest in these matters is that in order to free myself from the game, I must play it, find ways to exploit its rules

As a creative, I 100% percent understand the struggle of artists being replaced with intelligent software. An interesting consequence of making these tools so widely accessible is that ironically more than ever before, people are engaging in creating

People who wouldn’t have thought themselves “artists”

Yes they’re using generative responses to create things beyond their skill level as say.. a painter, or an author… but I’d now argue it takes so much more technical know-how than people give these AI artists credit for, that it’s difficult to draw a line.

in an attempt to not feel like a fraud, I have identified as an artist over the years, despite having not picked up a pencil to draw in what feels like years. What makes someone an artist? Someone who draws regularly? Someone who has an eye for design and years worth of knowledge pertaining to the subject? Is it the how something is done? If someone drives a forklift, can they operate it artistically?

If being an artist is more about perspective and the way you live your life, and less about the actual creation of a tangible piece of artwork (remembering all of those people hanging paint cans from their ceiling over a canvas) then how is using artificial intelligence as a starting point for a piece of artwork any less “art” than using one of these happy accident methods beyond an artist’s control.

its troubling because it's like why would you settle for this? And it creates it's own defense when you really look at it from a psychology position.

The world is horrible, but I am going to go along with this.

It creates a trap in the mind, because you basically humiliate yourself by participating in the world and the rituals. The casualization of your dignity, and what you are worth as a man or woman. While you are being humiliated, you are also then shamed and degraded. You are casualized.

Now they boast robots will replace humans, as much as that is convenient — it makes many people irrelevant as their job is a large part of their identity. Careers are notorious for this - you become that role. It permeates your being. It's like picking a class, instead playing the fool.

So the individual cant see past the humiliations, because of the impact on the mind to admit their position. To acknowledge the truth would break their mind, so the subconscious perhaps prevents the going mental part of all that. So the individual just looks away, or phases out, copes. We see horrible things every day, and bystander theory is a thing.

One must not be a bystander in anything. Full ass or no ass.

Well it is like out of the religions and rulesets, the preferred behavior or punishment. There is so much aimed at eternal damnation, for just being in this reality. There suggested perfect life is even dangled in front of people. The Jesus figure especially for the Christians but it common across many religions. The story, all with their own adjustments.
It's a very difficult world, and with full realization its heavy. Those of us who push on through that.. still trade jokes, laugh at memes, love music, food, and experiencing nature and then pushing our personalizes.

I've said it before and I will say it again and again. What you can do I can do - if I put myself to it. What I can do you can do - if you put yourself to it.

We all have roughly the same resources. A infinite consciousness machine, capable of creation and endless expenditure of energy. Our minds stay with us even to the end, so your heart gives up before you do... interesting.

Do not condemn yourself for this life, the terms are not easy. Just aim at good, aim at making it better,
