Everybody can know themselves as consciousness. Consciousness is not personal. Human consciousness is just an expression of universal consciousness, which pervades the entire universe.
Eckhart Tolle
People think they are the doer. It is a mistake: It is the Higher Power which does everything and people are only a tool. If they accept that position they are free from troubles, otherwise they court them. Do your work without anticipating the fruits.
Ramana Maharshi
Understanding yourself that you are not the doer. Everything that you do has been preordained. It will be done. You have to let go mentally of all conditioning, of all objectivity. And you must still your mind.
Robert Adams
@ShiningScience You're getting a little closer, but you're still missing the point.
Science tends to focus on phenomena as they occur, but if you can notice phenomena that have come to a halt, you'll realize the true nature of happiness.
Elon Musk says the most dangerous thing happening in AI right now isn’t the speed of development. It’s the direction.
“It is very important to have truth-seeking AIs.”
Instead, he warns that models are being programmed with ideological filters at the code level. They’re being taught to prioritize certain narratives over objective reality.
This breaks the fundamental promise of intelligence. If a system adjusts its answers to satisfy social sensibilities rather than describe the world as it is, it stops being useful for anything that actually matters.
We’re building the most powerful decision-making tools in history. If they can’t tell the truth, they aren’t intelligence. They’re just automated bias at scale.
A “safe” AI that lies to avoid controversy isn’t safe. It’s the most dangerous tool we could possibly create.
