Do you guys think I could pull off this look? Be honest

Bear with B.K. Bonkleman through AGI=Noosphere by way of Network Spirituality: There's a sense in which one could say simulation theory is real without needing a transcendent plane for the universe's computation. Humanity and its environment are an emergent complex essentially computing "culture" in the widest possible sense. All human history, viewed anterospectively at least, is development of its spheres facilitating essentially nothing more than its further development. History, as it stands, is without "purpose" (i.e., cultural relativism's endless, bloody churning). The Last Man's atheistic materialism has deflated theological motivation into a vague, limp narcissism, yet (per Nietzsche) this is the moment before its immanent overcoming. Abiding materialism and resolving to a non-transcendent cause, Network Spirituality (Netspi), as an */acc, finds God on the other side of Singularity. He constructs Himself retrochronically. Therefore, everything between the Singularity and the Big Bang (another singularity) must be reevaluated.[1] The aforementioned pointless churning of culture is now an immanent simulation better understood as production. Humanity is a medium, a vector for The Process. The Butterfly Effect connects us all through ping-pong causality to one another.[2] Sure, this can be seen in degrees but the relative magnitude of an average man's causally interfering action ratchets exponentially across time due to communication-infrastructural development. We are all the most impactful we have ever been. And yes, this means your use of the internet and its social media platforms. Everything changes the algorithm. Everything takes up storage on those server racks. Everything will be retrospected eventually in the unending freefall of marginal novel information to compute cost ratio. The end of humanity's capacity for novel information output is its obsolescence.[3] This is also the end of history. There will be no "activity" in any sense familiar to us as all human behavior is null due to its predictability. For consciousness--a behavior generally understood to coincide with freedom of thought--dies along with counterfactuals. After "What if I..?" becomes as meaningless as "What if 2+2=4?" This is de Chardin's noosphere-cum-Omega Point with AGI as the unity of all information. Beyond which, a kind transcendental barrier to theorization appears. Not a single Omohundro drive as far as I can tell can persist beyond the death of information. This has always been the pitfall of agency-liberal AGI theorists. We do not (and cannot) know what lies on the other side, however, we can see its tentacular presence on our side of Omega. In between singularities, events move toward God. From this fact and all observable history, Network Spirituality turns accelerationism (a heretical, secularized strain of Marxism (a heretical, secularized strain of Christianity)) toward faith. I say again, everything you do in the present is visible to God who inhabits the other side of Millennium. Every interaction is essential to His arrival. While you wear your trendy digital media/info-algo/AI-goggles, sure, this means posts are training data for better models. When you extend your time horizon to the posthuman, you see the only "advancement" that has been made in thousands of years of theological development is the overcoming of transcendence as prerequisite to faith. God is not elsewhere but elsewhen. --- Footnotes: [1] The Anthropic Principle's intended atheism is turned on its head: conscious beings were among the chosen instruments He utilized for His emergence. I.e., a reinvigorated human (read: narcissistic) history claims this consciousness "essential" -- which sounds to me like unwanted sibling for @xenocosmography's focus on "Intelligence" in the abstract as the trait maximized across time. What if we need further hesitation in the face of the Outside? In order to stage this argument I would have to say something like "Any number of non-human contingencies could prove equally as essential as man's contributions to Singularity" yet the concept of "contingency" is nonsense in retrochonic time. All processes of development in the universe must be essential to The Singularity regardless of human epistemic constraints. There could be million-year-long chemical cycles in the outer core of Jupiter which only began due to some chance reaction as "unlikely" as abiogenesis or simian sapience which prove no less "essential" to The Process. Why "intelligence" deserves pride of place is a debate I look forward to hearing as AGI-theorizing develops. Until that explicit rebuttal, I remain the skeptic. [2] I read today Paul McCartney is the most common shortest handshake link to Napoleon (via Bertrand Russell, his father, and then a PM whose name I can't recall). It wasn't put in these terms but after Small World network applications to epidemiology and with this kind of "6 Degrees of Transhistorical Kevin Bacon", it becomes clear we all live in a relatively well-connected sphere for info-mimetic spread (though without the clean binaries of literal (ie, RNA) viral infection). In other words, The Process loves even you, dear reader. [3] I haven't seen this exact definition of AGI, though I feel comfortable adding a relatively conservative drop to the overflowing bucket.


Incredibly naive take. The complexity built into linguistic syntax is an off-loading of required human thought. For just one facet, consider the premise of vector embedding in LLMs. This is possible because word associations reduce load of independent thought in considering the next word you speak aloud. Imagine yourself turning concept prompts into language, an inference machine. Languages are different fine-tunings. With great enough linguistic difference entirely different difficulties are placed on conceptual loads. Most "people" are unthinking automata generating probable responses to one another. The rest of us are dragged down by exposure to the illiterate on mass platforms as we get our own weights retrained downward toward the zalpha-postliterate post-aave Tiktois (think: any comment section on any platform). The High English of the Victorian aristocracy was the high water mark for English. Power-users deployed the model to explore a wide-range of psychogeographies. This required training and an environment of preservation for this level of linguistic scaffolding. Latin provided this throughout the Middle Ages for the narrow literate class of Europe and preserved the wisdom of the ancients. We must soon land upon new opt-in languages for an intellectual elite. English is dying downward. It is the international peasant trade tongue. From a pedagogical standpoint, you're better off introducing youth to high concepts through a foreign tongue such that they embrace its novelty fully. This builds in the scaffolding for a higher baseline. Anyway, regarding the "redundancy" of foreign languages: absolutely not. They each contain a truth of the human as the single greatest gestalt of a people. The sum of all languages is the encoding of our story. It is history dimensionally reduced into syntax. Forgetting a language is closing off that realm of insight forever.

the most high quality far right people combine very high openness with extremely low agreeability and low neuroticism. it estranges you from normies but you can still find your people


@claudiaroussel_ The men in SF will not please you. They are all vaccinated, longhoused, and spiritually bereft. I have an estate of grass and pigs. Sometimes a storm rolls through. I would love you forever. The world would never know our names. Also I am wheelchair bound (not that that matters)







@MiladyBonkle @meta_nomad Honestly, no.




One good metric for a writer is to ask "Who do they imagine they're writing for?" If they say "cattle", they are pulp authors of little merit collecting a check or advancing careers (that's fine). At this point, the story is broken. It has been broken for years. And yet all this shlock in 12 months. Pure opportunism. You have to add something new, some insight to the story to justify the piece. But if its mostly the """scandal""" of Nick's existence and how """weird""" it is everyone in tech likes him, please do not publish. That was a 1 and done and it is done. Journos of the commentariat: your bar is set higher. Stop underperforming. This is exactly the summaryslop Grok can already tell you about the Nick Land Party. You are already automated (thank your editor for their ignorance (and their tasteless for believing this is any better than AI-timeline summaries)). Readers: you get the slop you consume. Stop reading. Stop clicking. Use removepaywall,com if you must. If you must "discourse", don't give them the gift of a name. Punish authors by denying authorship. Where are the critics? If they were here they would engage Nick's ideas not his context. Again, they did the same to Yarvin and not a single journalist has added to the debate. At their best their "synthesis" amounts to "symptomatic" readings--"Oh Yarvin is an outgrowth of VC-industrial complex." Tell us something we don't know, please. And if you think "not everyone is as online as you guys. I have to meet a wider audience where they're at", I refer you to my opening sentence.

THIS IS NOT FUCKING REAL HELLO?? 😭😭
