The Reality of AI and the Crisis of Meaning
Longbeard
We imagine that we are living a life—our life—as if life and who we are exist as two separate entities. But in fact, there is only one thing: we are inseparable from this thing we call life; we ourselves are life, part of its river. Consider for a moment: What if you are part of life rather than the one living it? What if there’s no separate you and it? What if what you consider you, that is, all your thoughts and sensations, is also something arising in the larger consciousness? Feel what this contemplation stirs in your body. Walk with it, live with it.
