The belief: "telepathy" will solve communication. What??

article image placeholderUploaded by @SeekingPlumb
So whether we're doing this brain to brain or not, I don't see how this is going to eliminate any struggles or difficulties or challenges that we have with communication instead. This sounds an awful lot like we're chasing the new novel fun, shiny thing of technology brain to brain communication. How cool is what but we are then building these narratives around almost like an excuse. Let me chase this because and that because it's not necessarily reasoned or sound

Why is this the belief?

@SeekingPlumb I agree with you. It wont solve the problem

Because if you realistically look at all the conversations that is happening about these things, it is conversation that is being conducted by nerds like me or by people who use this, oh, so and so told me this, or, oh yeah, my friend who works with blah, blah, blah. Right. So I'm also going to pull that same card. I am a ghost writer for somebody who's currently working within Neuralink and we are trying to convert their scientific papers into like a book

@SeekingPlumb

@Binati_Sheth Yes!!

For instance, I saw a video on a gentleman who's pushing transhumanism and how it makes complete sense and how wonderful it is. And although I have made every single argument he has made to myself, I think that it's also important that we consider whatever it is we're looking at from multiple perspectives. So not just the good, shiny, cool aspect, but how it could go wrong. Or why are we pursuing this in this way?

Humanity has had a technological moment and they have become highly advanced and they have moved beyond Earth. But then because of transhumanism and because of how machines were impacting cognitive abilities, the Dune universe had what is unfairly docked as both Larry and Jihad. Right. And this is where humanity decides to Chuck and get away with machines altogether and they start focusing on themselves

@Binati_Sheth Thank you! And thank YOU for playing/exploring with me!

But there's this one language that is super simplified that he thinks would be ideal to reincorporate into conversation. And I waffle on the idea because simplifying it means I can't talk about these huge, expansive, nuanced complex ideas, right? Because the words would be too simple and I wouldn't be able to do it. But there could be utility in it for the day to day conversations, right? The things what don't need the nuance and complexity

It didn't win, but I encountered it because it was mentioned in the Booker list. And that book has this anything out. This book would be a big spoiler. But basically humanity is exploring this, right. It has incorporated human and an AI with some hardware updates into like a single thing and a single transhuman cybernetic collective. And then they are sent to some other planet and this new thing is experiencing things. Right

@Binati_Sheth (And thank you for the book recommendation! I've added it to my list.)

Oh, I like that. I'm going to start incorporating metadata, that word into my lexicon in this particular sort of sense of filling in the spaces behind what is being said. That's such a great example. I'm torn on the idea of indoctrination, and I don't know if this is just because of my past. I grew up in a very religious home, but now I'm an agnostic atheist, but that indoctrination had negative repercussions

It's like the I keep switching visuals on you here, but the tree that bends in the wind is going to last longer than the one that is petrified. It's going to snap in the wind as opposed to bend and move. There has to be some sort of we can't go to either end of the extremes. And now I think I would just end up repeating myself. So I'm done again

You are unsure when you are open to ideas, right. I mean, that's how I see it. So Rambling for the wind for sure. In my opinion, cultural Indoctrination, I think it always was. And it still is a way, a tool to acquire an amass power. Right. It's one of the easiest ways in which you can get people to join your mob, to join your group, to join your community

There were several things you said that made me laugh out loud. Sitting in a cup was one the the shifting of perspective of the analogy with the trees and what a young person might say, oh my God, that was like, I could still see that. But in my head I'm also thinking, like, if you have though, a whole bunch of individual firm trees that do not bend, then are you really the one that stands out? You're no longer an individual. Right?

@SeekingPlumb I rambled about Philosophy πŸ₯Ή

So I think I also rambled about something very unrelated, but philosophy, we don't focus a lot on philosophy these days, which I think has taken a toll and I think it should be added to the education curriculum, not for marks. It should not be graded. It should just be taught teach people how to think. Yeah, I think that is the issue here

@SeekingPlumb "Communication is dependent on expression & knowledge of Self." πŸ™πŸ½

It's what we are expressing in the context of expression that allows us to effectively communicate with you or you communicate with us. So it's not really the delivery system that's going to be, oh, wow, look at this because you look at the 90s, right? We have the two way, Motorola two way pager. We were messaging texting, emails was a thing and we still f*** that up. We take emails out of context

@Binati_Sheth

It's an interesting idea because on the one hand, it seems as if they're seeking understanding and answers with death nipping at their heels, and that may be a complete misconstruing of what you were expressing, but that's a way it sort of fits in my brain, like, because, yes, I know there's the inevitability of my own death, but I'm seeking understanding and wanting answers from a I don't know how to describe a distinction

@The3rdOWL

I know that depending on who I'm speaking with and what I'm speaking about, I will change the way that I communicate, much like we do when we're trying to convey something to say a five year old versus an adult or whatever the background is and whatever the topic is

This was such an awesome take on the topic. Like, oh, my God, this is so good. Thank you so much for adding this. I have nothing to add, like speechless. I think that's what you want, right? That's what you want from your listeners. You want them to be speechless. So good one. Thank you for this. Blew my mind

If you don't find him interesting, hit me back up again. I'll give you another suggestion because I've got so many if you want to read hilarious philosophy you can try Diogenes the cynic. It's trolling. But done so lyrically that he turned into a philosophy instead of a troll

Sometimes titles can be misleading. Is there something in particular by Ernest Baker that you would recommend? And I think you should totally do it for your blog. I'll hail the nerdyexperience and content in producing these things. I think you should do it, definitely. Thank you very much. I'm excited to dig in
