"chaos is not eliminated but redistributed. Civilization does not
abolish the archaic; it reorganizes it. The ecstatic, the intoxicated,
the predatory – these are not eradicated but assigned new domains."

Ok,
so let's get back to more basic prose regarding how we perceive
ourselves in relation to co-occurring living entities of approximately
coterminal, in some measure, of formal extent.
** COMMENTARY: just making up (closer to mathematical) terms for "people" "like you and me"TM **
So apparently I've fallen into thinking of myself somewhat in terms of the underlying mathematical representations used in Artificial Intelligence [AI]. There are good resources for understanding what the computers are actually doing, I suggest deeplearning.ai's recent "Transformers in Practice" [$0].
Nothing in this suggests any feature of consciousness to me but something more like an empty wraith clothed in words, that can only act in so far as it is able to persuade living human agencies.
BUT, and this is a big but, humans are machines that operate on words in whatever various representations they may take. So yeah, we're very similar to these machines that we have built in the advance of us trying to understand ourselves.
Humans
have been experimenting on each other since the day of Adam and Eve,
the whole Oeuvre you know. That story itself is very personal to every
single "human shaped object"TM you see out there - and in these DAZE who
knows how many test tube babiesTM are out there.
Just sayin': kaleidoscope
I
really want to stop writing now, - there's music on in the back ground
and a little browser window open with a flow diagram:- 4: Stop or
continue?
Adam Kadmon [the idea(l) form of HU/MAN], but maybe I'm wrong.
Always too much to do to do anything. Where does the chain of inheritance end? How can it be anywhere other than at the source or beginning that thought so highly of you to include you in it?
Back
to sci fi ai concerns: we are each a bucket of content. The approximate
structure of our neural networks, for they were extracted from biology
and moved to electrosilical simulation operations, are, by fact, exposed
to similar stimulus response arrangements. We are all PAVLOV's DOG
((woof woof)). -{{what are you trying to lick}}- and salivate for
something. How hyper targetted can you get with an algorithm?
back
to A[DAM]. sitting in the midst of a titanic flux [always sinking like
that boat], we can block and redirect as the stream passes. but you have
to notice the stream(sz), which evidently can be non-local and
temporally staggered as in the case of money and human economic activity
fluxes throughout the week and year and the (AY[E)YE](I)S are the
window to the soul. CYCLE, a cyclic training loop just like our
autoregressive LLM friends.
Like
them we pick from a probability space, or maybe more of an active
landscape of shifting /terminal/ events. or just an event. like you go
to a concert or something like that. some bearing on your compass.

"It is not enough to know the principles; one needs to know how to manipulate them .."
- from the Dictionnaire de Tréveaux
"For
the Trickster does not merely use tools; he engineers situations. He is
not confined to the instrumental relation between means and ends; he
operates at the level of conditions of possibility. He is a
meta-technician.
From a Deleuzian perspective, this
becomes even clearer. The Trickster is a desiring-machine par
excellence. He connects flows that were previously disconnected,
interrupts circuits, reroutes energies, and produces new assemblages.
Prometheus steals fire from the gods, but in doing so he also
reconfigures the entire network of relations between gods and men. He
deterritorializes divine power and reterritorializes it within the human
domain.
This is not merely an act of theft; it is a reprogramming of
the system. In this sense, Prometheus is not just a cultural hero; he is
a vector of machinic transformation."

.. I have this (bad?) habit of getting lost in my own head ..
.. I've had it / it's been like that since I was a kid ..
.. but then I real eyes-ed that I could make the most of it, take advantage of it, & as it were use it for my benefit ..
.. if i can plug in, I'm the master (of my own magickal universe), & @LL I need to plug in is an energetic terminal like, say, me actually, cuz I'm con nected to everything, see .. & then you're participating in programming re@L(L)ity itself ..
.. & then the question becomes, to what purpose .. nor should the importance of this point be understated; for it literally makes a world of difference .. in such a quest one could do worse than study the great works of the masters .. almost @LL of whom sought freedom above all else ..
.. freedom is priceless .. now, u may think I can give it a value, but whatever value you give it, won't be accurate .. priceless in fact means beyond value; thus there isn't a measure that would suffice to compare it to ..
.. con sequently, one really ought to be ready to do what's necessary to obtain it .. & no, it's not something dark or horrible .. but actually it might well, indeed is something that isn't socially acclaimed or popular in any sense; vide supra, which is Latin for 'it's right in front of you' ..
.. now, one might reasonably ask if power isn't worth seeking, perhaps even more so than freedom .. to which we in turn reply in the form of a question, viz. 'what's the difference ..?'
.. what if Jung was wrong; energy carnivores (.. who feed on the energy of others, get it, like extraverts ..) & herbivores (.. by the same analogy, introverts who can source energy from the very void ..) would be an interesting con cept to explore ..
.. power is well worth pursuing, so long as we distinguish between worldly power, arguably the root of all evil, as opposed to sheer raw energetic power, which is the very Way to freedom such that the two might even be hard to tell apart ..
.. worldly power inevitably ends up becoming power over others, & is the very source cause of such virulent ills as ethnic nationalism & the other side of that same co(i?)n, prejudice & discrimination..
.. on the other hand, if one were to seek what we might call power as such, a.k.a freedom, that would be a win-win, from which @LL would benefit .. most of all oneself ..
.. everything has I's in it ..
"I realize now though that this perspective is blinded by
privilege. Completely clueless. To them, life is .. well, how should I
say .. a generous, pleasant and polite lover. I mean, that's what it's
like for them. But that is not life's true face. Money and power mask
it, but if you take its mask off, its eyes are so cold. They couldn't be
any colder. Waiting for your fucking demise, that kind of face. But
life will always reveal its true self. That's as true for a billionaire,
as for anyone. And when that time comes, what then? Huh?"

"-you need to relax
- I'm more comfortable tense .."

.. in any case, the economists are doomed to get it wrong, because they'll always & forever be looking at it in the wrong way: the economy is just saying it needs more of a con tribution from each con tributor to function; that's all inflation is .. so maybe don't be so selfish ..
.. anyone can talk ..
.. but some are running the mother ducking op ..
