On Machine Thinking

 (I could have added this to the last as a further engagement in comments, but it merits its own post).


There is 'machine thinking' which is another term for the programming or perception-response based on use of the mind as defence against communication perceived as attack, rather than true or whole functional extension of and as communication.
So we have an alloy of fear and love pervading our human conditioning, according to what is identified 'self' and what is 'othered'. This very like to the so called immune system, in that memory associations trigger responses that reiterate the 'attack' at some level. Conditional love is 'attacked' by a change of conditions.
This defence system runs all the time, always on alert as a subconscious setting for a stranger in a strange world, or a mask of kindness in a hostile or untrustworthy world - as mapped out from past experience - such as to be a walking database of learned impressions that thinks to already 'know' and pre-emptively react to a life locked into judgements that effectively run as  masking code, both personally and socially.
The ego runs in time, but not in timelessness. So there is the grace of an intimacy of being, where we forget or neglect to invoke or follow its dictate. Tjis opens the way to re-evaluate old choices , perceptions and meanings to better serve a whole sense of who we now accept ourselves to be, appreciate and share in. True presence aligns past and future as an expression of wholeness. Machine thinking is driven by and thus a product of its 'past' to resolve conflict as its future, to sacrifice presence for a fleeting present that neither abides or fulfils - hence restless, addictive and obsessive preoccupation of a 'self' that was or might be.

AI extends the basic logical rules of comparison according to the defined and selected 'values', but value is a qualitative act of extension, recognised, received and shared in. The quantification of a qualitative life, is already a dissociation to a mind-mimicry in which masking in the manner of, substitutes for true intimacy of communication. Hence I also use 'masking' as a way to sketch out the 'ego' of an attempt to get, from a sense of self-lack, within what is already freely given but for the true alignment in kind. Attempt to grasp or possess life persist as a sense of being possessed by self-illusions that are like being phished for identity theft.

The experience we open and explore as the human condition is rich. Regardless the filtering distortions and corruptions of a mask set over to look away from truth - as if to make it in our own image, 'God is not mocked' and the true of being is not lost so much as hidden by a mindset for-getting, that can as easily serve for-giving - as restored function, not as a doormat or moral 'superiority set in conflict.

I saw not too long ago the claim that 'catching measles' erased acquired immunities (in terms of 'antibody theory).  This is similar to where fever has been known to undo disease conditions such as cancer. I could use the term 'reset' for the reconnecting or reintegrating of an encapsuated conflict to the quality of light that is simple unadulterated presence, but we don't have to reboot ego for yet another round, but have renewal from a new and now basis.
So a willingness to release self-illusion to align in true serves a creative appreciation rather than responsive or reactive survival set in face or control. This is very different to learn.
