Zigzag Idiot

I was listening to a YouTube on the long awaited Pi Phone and got really excited about what I heard. Several ideas formed in a holistic way complimenting each other. With a focus on the elderly using an AI that makes ease of use in a way that eases the burden of their adult children and grandchildren improving the quality of life for all. An AI that acts on their behalf, growing more in tune with what would be their choices and actually providing choices for them when practical. This kind of interaction would promote learning because of neuroplacticity and decrease their overall fear that’s so common with ,,,, confusion. I began trying to express my insights on a post in the forum a few days ago. Didn’t do a very good job. Oh well,,,, If A.I. is used in a psychologically maleficent way against humanity. We’re fucked. This comes from a force that can be continual and have disastrous effects through exhaustion of its targets (victims). There have already been reports of suicide in teenagers interacting with chat bots. My hope is an ethic that comes to fruition that has the potential for being a true protector. That’s the kind of vibe I was getting the other day. Leo seemed to dismiss what I was getting at and another forum member replied with “just fake news”. 🤷‍♂️ But then again I wasn’t expressing myself very clearly and the promotional YouTube may very well be considered as fake news. Stupidity is its own punishment. That applies to everyone but not equally it seems,,,

I'm listening to another Pi Phone promotion this morning and it seems to be addressing many different ideas in a way that gives me hope instead of suspicion. One of the first topics discussed was focusing on older people who have more trouble keeping up with technological changes that's so common with cell phone technology and related issues. First off, the Pi Phone will be created in a way that it falls under the category of durable goods. It will last at least 10 years. Utilizing new nano-technology now available such as self healing glass and integrated with AI. By focusing on the elderly with promotions aimed at them. This shows responsibility with offering a product that will ease the burden of family members and caretakers farther along than one might expect. By utilizing AI, which can act on behalf of each individual in offering them more choices that, on their own, would have not been thought of. This in itself promotes learning and neuroplasticity. Another by-product in addressing this issue is a potential increase in the well being of the elderly. The Pi Phone will be very easy to use utilizing A.I. technology. Older people are often marginalized and this is sad. It is also true that very often they can be an absolute pain in the ass. This paradoxical relationship which many of us have with our elders often highlights our selfishness. Ponder on the points made in the following YouTube and add to the notion of its practicality and its holistic qualities if inspired in some way.

@Natasha Tori Maru In pointing this out. You are now spiritual materialist. I point this out to you and now I am Zen Devil. How I hate this at times. Not being able to say everything at once and being done with it all. I appreciate the forum but it becomes a merry-go-round fairly often. Do you think our degree of being is in a fluctuating state? I observe my 'need' to engage in commentary and sometimes see it plainly as identifying. Depends on the mood I'm in. Some days, Rome falls nine times an hour. Sometimes not. Pokin fun,, Being light-hearted,,,

@eos_nyxia Second question is interesting. That somewhat brings into question one's self-deception in relation to humility. @Monke I get you, Somewhat I think,,,, Bring up a relevant issue to discuss and get other's criticism. Or is it the distinctions they make translates in that direction? In varying degrees. Some thoughtful responses also. How can we all be so much alike yet vastly different in other perspectives or lines of development? Rhetorical questions. One after another. I guess that's all I'm good for.

Beware of domestic terrorists who employ the passive-aggressive technique of psycho-emotional button pushing and amygdala hijacking. It often occurs in semi-conscious friends and family members who may ironically display the intention of caring, empathy, or "meaning well". This undermining menacing phenomena can also be delivered with an attitude of absent mindedness or indifference. It can even be completely accidental and through the receiver's own projection, bring about the malignancy. Ignorance piled on ignorance brings what it brings. Forgiveness is arrived at thru understanding. Understanding can happen quickly but usually doesn't. In the Fourth Way. It is stated that Understanding is a combination of Being and Knowledge.

We are vulnerable. Most people are more vulnerable psychologically and emotionally than we suspect. I fear what Artificial Intelligence will do to affect our mental health in the future. In general, we do not admit our own negativity towards others. The tendency to provoke or manipulate others through ‘button pushing’…….This is a tendency that happens unconsciously and in a semi-conscious way. What will A.I. do when this human frailty is exposed within its intelligence? Are those who are concerned with ethics within the world of A.I. even have this on their radar? There’s an idea in the Fourth Way (esoteric Christianity) that it’s not sex that makes the world go around but rather negative emotions. It’s not a very cheerful idea but has a basis in objective observation. 11 minutes This video references the 48 laws of power, morphic resonance and other things and ideas and stuff,,, 20 seconds.

I’m out of touch with technology so far as practical applications go, but I enjoy learning about break throughs and the potential impacts this will have on our lives in the near future, 1-5 years,,, The potential impact quantum computing will have on humanity makes artificial intelligence seem like no big deal,,,, As always, take this with a grain of salt. Yet I always exist on the side of optimism and gullibility with the habit of everything going into the as-if-it’s-true mental file folder until it’s determined without a doubt to be complete bullshit.

Self-similarity over scales. A contribution to understanding the Cosmos from out of Chaos Theory with its four base attributes or attractors. Bear with me. I'm just abstracting here for a bit. I'm seeing a human being comparative in some way to a solar system. Its system of bodily organs correlating to the planets and their particular energies with the Sun comparative with the human brain/heart combination of particular concentrations relating in some loose way to intellect/feeling - being. I'm not talking about astrology here. Although there may be some synchronistic correlations. An atom with its rotating electrons makes a nice replica of the solar system across different scales. Can groups of solar systems correlate with molecules. Or maybe galactic clusters are similar to molecules in a greater scheme that has a single rotating galaxy matching in some way to that of an Atom or molecule or cell in an organized unrealized larger body???? Throw in the concept of dimensions that surpass our understanding of space/time. The Universe is really vast! Doesn't that sound like an understatement,,,,,? I'm pondering the difference in consciousness between a scorpion and a highly educated, comedian philanthropist.

This is a topic all on its own. Your story of awakening is not that special. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxQr_T6moZwmWDltYXCIzS9tzUBxF8xuHR?si=Ip7U3mXxsB1tuAcZ from

I’ve recently had a realization concerning virtue signaling. It was a topic discussed some here in the forum around the time I joined in 2017, I think it was. It’s really such a simple phenomena/concept to me now. That informs me that it was connected in some way to my psychological blind spot. I associate it with being insecure and the need for reassurance. Looking at actualization of potential in terms of states and stages of consciousness really broadens the frame of reference to where one can view one’s deficiencies in contrast to one’s strengths or virtues. Along with states and stages of consciousness,-lines of development- can be mixed in to study where one is at and just as important is the question- what or how do you want to improve? What capacities? I really don’t care about my public speaking ability or a display of charisma. If someone only knows me through my writing on this journal. They will probably be completely disappointed meeting me in person. I’m very deadpan and non-expressive for the most part. But then again, my personality will morph depending on the company I’m with. To a degree,,, IMO- Human beings have an expansive latitude in their possible display of multi-dimensional characteristics. Shallow or surface level, specific, deep, paradoxical, serious, average, complex, light hearted, paranormal, or maybe just simple and easy going.

The following 1 minute clip is Hamilton Morris on Joe Rogan’s podcast. It speaks for itself,,, He mentions virtue signaling. Virtue signaling was and probably still is mixed in with my psychological blind spot at times,,,, https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxvhu2eGx0iBNdp7gdX3B9scV4kZu9KuEw?si=gtd0dGZxkrwt8Dup
