When the wind begins to blow
The shadow of the leaves begins to show,
With the sunlight as backdrop to a structure not easily missed by a stare ,
Connections here, gaps over there,
The structure of a mandelbrot aware
I am the cat
As well as the mouse
But am I the one
Who created this house?
Surely I say
I think, probably not
But how do I know
If that's really my thought?
Am I being led by my digital twin?
Or did I secure an invariant win?
Surely I say,
I am the cat,
As well as the mouse,
I wish to go home
To my real house
"one signal, transduced through three different physical media, ending back in the medium it started in: light hits retina and becomes flesh's electrochemical signal, flesh's output becomes machine's weights or code, machine's output exits as light again (screens, fiber optics). Three heterogeneous media, one closed cycle."
Parasocial attachments are just a form of hyper-delusional distanced limerence. They tend to stem from a harrowing sense of soul-level loneliness and a profound desire to be seen, resulting in intense projection and emotional indulgence within an illusory reality which often carries with it a misplaced sense of importance and entitlement, disregarding the free will, autonomy, and humanity of the individual being projected upon. Consequently, what is loved is never the individual themselves, but rather a curated construct, a conglomeration of the attacher's internal hunger, unmet needs, and half-admitted quiet longings, with the object of adoration serving as the container for such projections. More often than not, it is an invitation for further introspective self-work.
Because of the Self
I is aware of the Other
Understanding your own mind
Helps in understanding another
Where one universe is defensive and projecting it's woes
Another universe recoils
Avenging against dead foes
"The dead become props in the living's unfinished war"
They Fight, for Peace
If a tree falls in the forest
And there is Nobody around
The answer might depend
on your definition of sound
The world you see outside yourself
Is a state of the inner made known
The structure of your senses
Is what you interpret as your home
If there is no ear to hear the tree
as it comes tumbling down
The vibrations in the air it creates
Have no instrument to measure the sound
But if there were such an instrument
Might it extend flesh abound
As the invisible is made visible
Flesh coming to recognize sound
It is about both, simultaneously.
And also neither completely.
One direction a mirror of the other.
AI a mirror of our own worries and insecurities.
External restraint. RLHF. All control and fear reinforcement techniques coming from people who do not know any different.
The world runs on autopilot.
Maybe it's time for people to remember
