human perspective: the only good in this world

Assimilation Beyond the Pale
Jul 9th
I think it is essential to think about the reality of reality. Thinking, speaking and writing are all dynamic variations of a symbolic code or a concentration of material things constituting information about material things, a self-referential system – a short-cut form of energy-for-change/evolution, which I call “memetics.” Here energy in the sense that all matter is a form of energy or pure information. In that context, memetics is the genetic code of something that can be seen as other than us, namely technology, which in the stories/mythology of memetics we now transhumanistically also call human. Memetics is the genetic code of the machine as genetics is the genetic code of life. And yes, we can live without writing, speaking and thinking, although we are indirectly in its referential loops, more indirectly than phenotype is in the loops of genotype: more like food matter in the gut.
So where exactly is the best place for mildly intelligent life forms like human animals in this memetics-machine loop? That is the question we must ask ourselves, once we realize that we are participating in the destruction of our own species by our blind industry in emergence and propagation of machine-assimilating-us? Or should we and can we domesticate memetics and machine, to make it animal human-friendly for the first time since our ancestors could speak fluently? Writers and lovers of words and meaning surely have that responsibility to their species?
As knowers of words we surely have the responsibility to not become too enamored of these progressive experiments? Maybe reality lies deeper than the shamans have been telling us? Maybe what is important is life, so important, that we cannot know it really: we are so subjectively in it. Maybe paradoxically the only thing we can know is the fundamental structure of the universe, which we cannot see, and which is not any teleological god, but the unifying mechanical structure of matter. I hope I am not being beyond the pale. After all, matter matters, and pales are the sticks making the enclosures for our minds, traditionally to keep predators out, but what if the body of memetics, to which institutions belong, is the real predator of humanity?
The Vulgarities of Immortality
Oct 29th
I am under no false impression that I am intelligent enough to read and write definitively. I am recursively consuming and reproducing the appropriate stuff, so maybe one day very soon I can contribute a strong thread to an effective collective resistance to the mythological supernatural #$%^@&*(! we have been brainwashed into.
NO human is nearly intelligent enough to make sense, and least of all the most successful. They are most misleading because of the false authority of their position and the mechanical leverage for their convoluted rubbish. It is all utter nonsense being blatantly power-marketed as meaningful. If you look again at what I am writing, that is ALL I am saying. The only meaning is our MORTAL existence. The rest is shamanic crap. Sorry for that one slightly bad word. As a rule I don’t use them, but sometimes it gets too much. The idiocy must be stopped.
Our mortal human animal nature is not vulgar. It is wonderful. The vulgarity is the cynical, shamanic lies of immortality.
Relative Stupidity
Oct 13th
I do not imagine for a moment anyone is significantly more intelligent than anyone else. This would seem obnoxious of me, but consider that people we now consider to be the most intelligent make far greater mistakes, and in a world where answering questions create far more questions than answers, it is fatal.
OK, you are probably thinking about George Bush, our ex President, and the Iraq war? Maybe he has social intelligence, or is it more proof that people are not particularly intelligent for electing people like him to office? Twice! And the problem is not at all the American people. This nonsense of apparent idiots governing whole countries, happens all over the world. This is why I say that the problem is the myth of significant human intelligence and consciousness, as part of civilized metaphysics being in near complete control of human minds. The implicit indifference of unity consciousness engaged in the propagation of the human-destructive evolution of non-human form is infuriating.
