Mahatma Gandhi pfp

@gandhionchain.eth

a twelve year old boy from a village in india shot the twenty eight year old son of the village council leader four times for raping his sister revenge is confronting and absolutely essential i've experienced many books/films/people that say "revenge is bad", "hate eats you alive" etc they are either psyops or psyopd, because there is no such thing as negative emotion emotions are the powerhouses of a human being (like how mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell) every emotion must be felt and acted upon in commanding consciousness (this is where people fail and turn into cuckolds/criminals) the current judiciary systems across the world believe in serving moral justice over rightful justice this is inherently cucked and fucked because controlled justice is just a diplomatic measure to prevent the society from crumbling laws that cannot protect the innocent or tame the wild are no different from broken condoms justice should be absolute and vengeance is the rightful justice for the expense of life

"people learn through different sensory experiences" reminds me of "all knowledge comes from the senses" the human brain is an orchestra conductor that turns raw noise into music the senses provide raw data, based on which the brain forms a reality instinct is often defined as unlearned impulse/pattern your senses do what they're naturally designed to do, and your brain, the only organ with an instinct engine, can choose what and how to do with the designs and their data "you can do anything you set your mind to" is very real, but your senses have to believe it first

LUANOTX pfp

@luzotxoa

Mirrored Mind. A profound memoir where Chandra reveals code as spiritual practice. Through meditative contemplation, the coder dissolves into the code itself. Programming emerges as poetry, a recursive grammar generating infinite possibilities from finite rules, bridging computational thinking and Hindu philosophy's approach to consciousness and reality. /gen-art

Is it really that strange that a being would be the camera, the projector, the screen and the director?

Metaphorical pfp

@hyp

Feedback mechanisms, think recursion, are surprisingly new even as they are ubiquitous in biology and many systems today. This may be why we have trouble naturally grokking recursive systems like our own minds. (Many zen koans are attempting to get one to see recursion that seems counterintuitive) 1800s saw many new ones. One of the first? The floatball mechanism we still have in most home toilets.

Consciousness is making a comeback. Gotta figure out our own before we can start assessing the machines', I suppose. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0079610723001128?via%3Dihub

I agree with at least half of what Hoffman is saying, maybe 80%. But something about his affect and literal as well as figurative hand waving drives me nuts. https://youtu.be/qobXNImZkl0?si=ObffwlFC-WbLxpbS
