Given an interest in abstracting from any particular situation and transcending to a broader framework, a transcendent, transcending framework, a theory and model and system that can leap beyond specifics and grapple with the very _process_ of transcending, of improving, where do you begin? Where do you go when you think in terms of not … [Read more…]
So, if you want to transcend certain ideas of non-increasing dimensions of time, then how do you do so? How do you do it? How do you consider ever higher dimensions of time? From the perspective of the archaic, time is a very rigid thing, a singular thing, not something to be played with, to … [Read more…]
(this is adapted from a message) The Longgame memory hacking stuff (i.e., mind is purely memory and entirely finessable) is not necessarily in the sense of biology; it’s more about the fundamentals of Nature itself. In that sense, information/experiences/memories are never lost, fundamentally, perhaps. Physics that says information could be lost will likely be shown … [Read more…]
if you let go of the technique of trying to control the world, though, perhaps you can jump above the very question of ‘how’ to control the world, control Nature, and instead focus on deeper questions—how to love it, and how to dissolve one’s ego into it and on the question of the tactic to … [Read more…]
and yet on the subject of wise uses of time, there exists an interesting kind of reward for truly novel behavior, perhaps, a sort of “refined taste” that might be able to leap above the past tendencies, the past histories, and break through into truly virgin territory, perhaps and on that note, perhaps, there might … [Read more…]
And it’s interesting, you know, contemplating all these effects you can have on the world. And the interesting effect of contemplating, or one of them, perhaps, is that it can redefine the very substrate you are working within. If you think about the Longgame, about the intersection of Eternity and the Now, then you can … [Read more…]
And so, if you transcend from this mortal coil, seek to join once again your consciousness with the single awareness, are you not left perceiving words and ideas which perhaps cannot be seen by simpler self-reflexive systems? This can immediately be seen, perhaps, in oneself, even, for are you not aware of gaps in awareness, … [Read more…]
Letting yourself remember, forgetting to forget—is such a thing possible, the latter? Does such imply an effect of remembering (which seems correct, to be honest; it seems more likely that things are always-remembered rather than typically-forgotten) as natural? And therein lies the question, yes: what are some of the fundamental processes by which memes (M’s) … [Read more…]
so, a question does arise what is the point of all this, you know? what is the point of life, of struggle, of hurt? is there one? probably it seems like life wants to live, you know? it seems to struggle, to wreck its dissolution from the ether it stops itself from not existing it … [Read more…]
so, if we turn around, and rephrase life in systematic ways, can we better understand what’s happening? that is, there is a lot written about life being this, or being that; is there a way to abstract, to transcend, to rise above, to distill, and by doing so, grow peace? can we make sense of … [Read more…]
