@samanthawillman For those on the fringe, online communities have allowed us to connect despite distance. I’ve noticed for a while the people I consider spiritual family are spread out, seemingly by some kind of design within this matrix.
@samanthawillman A theme I’ve been exploring is how we relate to the internet. I’m noticing my elder family members are more addicted than ever. Even the normies I know are seeking connection online even when binging reels is a pale imitation to intimate conversations locally.
@yaghsizian@samanthawillman Thanks!
In my defense... I've encountered a lot of incoherent philosophy takes that name drop H and L written by humans...
And I've assumed many things are AI that turned out not to be... and then regretted being rude... what a time
@yaghsizian@samanthawillman Cards on the table, reality is (to me) obviously malleable and subject to influence by nonphysical forces including but not limited to our individual unconscious.
@yaghsizian@samanthawillman But maybe this is a few layers up? Maybe we have different frameworks for reality? Lacan has a very different view of myth than Jung so that might be the fissure we’re exploring here?
@Nellyfurtadont Astute and valid. What we try to outrun has to be integrated anyway
I’m holding a phone which is borderline cyborg if I’m honest
Also AI v automation seems like a distinction without a difference might l but my brain moralizes them differently. I’ve got a lot to sit with!
@Nellyfurtadont Intriguing. I have more exposure to the hustle bros lmao and it’s a lot of ai wrappers for those that aren’t still dropshipping. I’m super curious how human status games evolve through this transition.
@Nellyfurtadont The feminism angle is also fascinating - I see the collective cycling back into matriarchy instead of integrating the anima and animus. I hoped we could complete the cycle this round 🤷♀️ the spiral continues
