The
Druid’s Job The druid’s1 job is to
remind humans of what they naturally know but have forgotten or been induced,
to forget for the benefit of others So, he states
the obvious: “The quick get
to eat and mate, And the slow
get eaten!” “The
best live better!” “Achievement
is salvation!”2,3 In short, the
druid focusses attention on (non-local) natural intelligence (i.e. NI) and natural action. By so doing he helps
the (or a random) individual protect her/himself from the downside effects4 of (local)
over-culturing by artificial
intelligence (i.e. AI).5 |
1. For
‘druid’ (i.e. as mythological member of the pre-modern Celtic intelligentsia,
somewhat like the ancient Indian Brahmins) substitute: natural life coach.
Most modern life coaches entrain survival within a cultural, hence artificial intelligence, i.e., AI,
context but also provide physical and mental exercise routines. 2. Whereby
the formal content of the achieved is incidental, because conditional (so the
Buddha). Because that is so, the current batch of 8 billion unique and
original humans, to be replaced over the next 80 years by a further batch of
10 billion unique and original humans (plus the approx. 100 billion unique
and original humans who have already died) creating their own private
niches/worlds can achieve their own salvation on their own terms. Since
individuals, meaning identified humans, are discrete, as are their
achievements/goals and moreover their salvation payoffs (such as happiness,
joy and so on), the smart (i.e. ‘fittest’) individuals train a ubiquitous non-oriented
achievement technique which he or she can then apply to any set of
conditions, thereby achieving salvation anywhere and at any time. 3. Salvation,
as the ancient Israelites knew, happens in this life, usually to those who
perform (the law) supernaturally, indeed ‘at best’, that is to say, naturally
at a superb level. Supra-natural salvation, as
offered by so many religious cults, is a scam, albeit useful and profitable. 4. i.e.
the loss of independence, for instance, when your G5 mobile or toaster,
though turned off, relays your most private data to an American or Chinese profit
motivated corporation. The most troubling effect of ubiquitous (and limited,
for the benefit of an ‘other’) AI is the eventual loss of
personal freedom, as demonstrated during the ‘Dark Ages’ of Christian and
Vedic AI.
The druid contemplative, aligning himself with nature, lauds
‘personal freedom’ as the highest human good. 5. It
follows that the druid (like Nature/God itself) is
fundamentally apolitical and amoral, and which makes him a threat to those
accultured with and dependent on AI. |
