COVID-19 is anti fragile
Concurrent mutation means mutating in response to change in env, ldowns, masks, SD. Becoming more virulent
Vaccine campaign could have opposite effect. Could cause severe mutation. Especially if vaccine campaign is poorly done. Pfizer 2 dose is nightmare
@SantiagoAuFund Seems a bit off. The government in Venezuela isn’t very popular to begin with. If they’re going to arm the citizens they’ve been impoverishing with military grade hardware, best strategy would be to sit back and let nature take its course.
@KristinRaworth Can only imagine how much these Low quality, processed food lunches cost. As is always the the case with governments, they deliver poor quality at a high price. Just another reason that the real impetus should be on enabling families to feed their own children
Matter isn’t necessarily influenced by consciousness. We as humans have the notion that we can influence material processes with our free will, but there’s really no hard evidence to support this claim. By default we should assume that the universe is deterministic and that free will needs to be proved, not the other way around, which is what we most people tend to do. At best we can show that consciousness is observation, it really can’t be proved that it has any tangible effect on material processes.
Even the forces that manipulate matter couldn’t be defined without the existence of matter. Matter has to be fundamental. It is the existence and subsequent interaction of structure, that creates the space for everything g else to emerge. Without matter, there would be no substrate for consciousness to express itself
It’s no more subjective than our experience with physical matter… we all agree on what the color red is, but you might be seeing green and I might be seeing yellow. But if we’ve been told that it’s red all our lives, we’ll believe that color to be red, and there’s no way to see from inside someone else’s head to see what they see.
But beyond that, it’s not that matter creates consciousness. Emergent properties aren’t created by the system so much as they are by products of the system. Consciousness may emerge due to matter interacting in complex ways and organizing itself. The constant and continuous organization of all matter in the universe at every level of magnitude. From the plank level, right up to the galactic
Yes for sure. Could it be considered though, that by defining life as only biological it limits us from see that it’s essentially the same forces/processes that govern all systems? Whereby it could be postulated that life isn’t just organic/biological, but there is a living element inherent in the structure of the universe itself.
@kinsellawarren Sure you haven’t, lmao… I don’t care who you are, everyone gets the flu now and then no matter what you do, and if you say otherwise, you’re lying
@Sam21Degen@naval By not voting, you can at least reduce legitimacy. If voter turnout gets low enough, it would be hard for anyone to claim that they represented the populace.
@G_S_Bhogal By the wording one should assume that there were options to identify as both “trans men” and “trans women” in addition to male and female, but it isn’t clear from the post.
Similar to how we think we’re the most advanced form of consciousness on earth. Completely negating the likelihood that the earth itself is a conscious entity that’s 4.5 billion years old, expressing a level of consciousness that must be far beyond our comprehension. It’s likely that every complex system has a consciousness, from ecosystems, to crowds, to societies. Turtles all the way down.
@RodAVanier Interesting that you’re suggesting that he can do what was politically expedient for his electoral outcome over standing up for rights and freedoms.
THE DESENSITIZED GENERATION
—
Immune To Novelty By AI Video Fatigue
With just a few hours of testing OpenAI’s Sora2 Social Network for my clients and just finished a 218 page report, the thing I thought about for decades is upon us:
Full Desensitization Of Visual Novelty
I knew so many years ago, and one reason I have posted on the account so many novel images and videos that one day we will rapidly become immune to “oh damn, it’s over” images and video. With Sora2 this desensitization will rapidly accelerate as “you and your friends” build endless videos where you and they are inserted.
Like all things that get abused, the first phase is “wow look at this”, the next phase is “can it do that” and the last phase is “nothing is real and I don’t care”.
The shock value of the entire technology become removed but in the final phases it will be pushed to extremes of insults and potentially purposeful directed reputation damage.
This will take place so rapidly as Sora2 and every other social network rushes to take whatever nicely oxygen that is left in the room for more and more “it’s over, we are so cooked” fantastical videos.
They will continue to get so much better that even the “debunker” experts will give up their “look at the fingers-type troupe”, they honestly will not know and soon burn out.
My easy point is get ready to be bored by the novelty of humans that in the past took potentially hours of thier lives to create novelty in reality.
The hard point is what now? Once a society takes something that has increasingly more and more amazing possibilities like AI and rapidly becomes immune to the possibilities the entire industry become devalued because the front facing aspect to AI will be Sora2-like social media.
Humanity’s entire past of astonishing achievements, the high points and the low points and the incredible art we can make will equally become devalued because this fatigue will make us not care and not trust what was real.
Everything will become a forever now where there was no real past because it would take impossible effort to verify it if at all.
Why?
Because not only are we the Desensitized Generation we are also the Amnesia Generation where Petabytes of all forms of media, books, papers, microfilm/microfiche, film, VHS, audio tapes, records, etc is being thrown away or decayed. Not to mention the daily removal of text, images, video and audio from the internet. We simply will not have the receipts, we won’t have the memory and the fatigue is too large to care.
It took 5 dark nights for the Library to burn, the sum total of human knowledge. In our age the burn is slow and rapidly increasing till the pot boils over.
What are the answers?
I have thought about this for decades. I will continue to write about it a lot. But one thing you can do is understand we are rapidly losing our past because almost no one cares. I should not be the only one dumpster diving to save what I can. Also protect your mind and preserve your “novelty” sensitivity because once it is burned out with fatigue, it will never return.
And I ask you to have grace and compassion to those that don’t know what we know. You are the 1% of the 1% and must serve a place to help those that can understand what this means and have grace to those who can’t. I am serious, be gentle with them as they find the bottom of the hole and hopefully find a way back.
This video below was novel and she risked her life. You are the last generation to understand this.
The post reposted of a CEO head in a toilet, is AI rendered it is not novelty.
There’s actually still a lot of people doing small farming. Even people who weren’t previously farmers are getting into the industry. What they’re not getting into is dairy or chicken because the cost of entry is just too high and there’s no profit for smaller operations. Supply management is gradually putting the quota into fewer and fewer hands. Unlike beef farming where you could buy a half dozen cows, and still be able to profit in today’s market, dairy would require millions in investment just to get started
