where apperceptual consciousness gets lost in translation.
“The journey towards a sapient and regenerative culture is a collective one,
asking us to come together in a spirit of collaboration and mutual support.”
Daniel Christian Wahl
– I can not agree more. And yet, as Báyò Akómoláfé reminds us,
“The accommodation for our modern bodies can no longer hold
the weight of our desires, and so we have to go under.”
And, as far as I can ‘see’—or perceive—for our species that calls itself sapient,
the ‘descend’ has been underway for quite some time now and seems about to “go under.”
The Doomsday Clock has passed the midnight hour !
And that’s my point, we may no longer have the chance to ‘turn this boat around‘,
people grow desperate—mentally strained, sometimes unhinged—because deep down,
‘buried’ in the darkness of subconsciousness, they are painfully
traumatized, terrorized by the fear or existential ‘angst’: that this might soon be over,
that the bubble of delusions will burst, and that they have not had enough of ‘it’,
whatever this ‘it’ was supposed to be.
Not that we lacked opportunities to correct the course of events, but we couldn’t
pull it off, couldn’t find our ‘common ground’ to bring it together.
Now, billions of lives later, with less clean air, water or soil, and with deeper
socio-economic divisions than ever, our intellectual capacities are
still stuck in ancient times, the ‘dark ages‘, when we tried to catch up or
keep pace with our own technological acceleration.
As a collective, our species began distancing itself from its ‘inferior’
natural habitat, eventually divorcing itself from the ecological reality
of this planet altogether.
What began as abstraction turned into dissociation: a separation from
the ‘Rest of Creation’. This elevated us—mentally and spiritually—from
co-creative participants to deputized ‘managers’ of the planet,
entitled to run it as a socio-economic enterprise.
The rest is His-Story, a figment of success shaped by powerful leaders,
great, heroic figures, and high achievers—idols that propelled civilization
to the top of the food chain in just a few thousand years.
And here we are now.
With Artificial Intelligence :
we are not only creating helpful tools—we are externalizing a mode of perception.
One that manipulates our sensory experiences by generating algorithmic
interpretations of reality and so mirrors and maintains an efficiency driven
consciousness that is finite, sequential and reductive but ultimately incongruent
with the eco-dynamic trajectory of evolution—something that, in its very nature,
seems to spiral beyond our control, at its core a constant ‘fear factor’ that keeps
recycling ‘logical fallacies’ over and over again.
Since we are constantly looking for Beginnings, the ‘sequence’ engenders
an Endings, something that terrifies us. That provokes regressive behaviour,
an infantilistic ‘defence mechanism’ where reaction replaces reflection, and that
makes us to ‘shoot first and asks questions later’.
Monocultural bifurcations correlated with spiritual contrivances have
transformed our species into a sociopathic creature (HomoSociopathis) that,
in its narcissistic anthropocentrism, developed a linear-hierarchic world-order
that in all its principles is posessive & chauvinistic.
Pick just one of these attributes and – like a virus – this mentality will
eventualy contaminate the entire community.
And how do we contain or ‘heal’ all that madness ?
Too often, by producing more of the same—mental and material constructs
that treat the symptoms while ignoring the causes.
The deeper intellectual ‘craft’ of prevention—conspiring with ‘All-Others’,
and the co-creative collaboration with life— became a forgotten ‘art-form’
There’s no engineering out of this !
the eco-dynamic reality has caught up with us, Mother Nature is intervening;
– it’s HER way now, because HIS–Story is not working !
What we perceive as ‘crisis’ may simply be life reasserting its own terms.
Nature is not an external adversary—it is the very process we are embedded in.
And yet, our solutions still follow the same pattern: we try to ‘create a way out’, hoping
to engineer a better future—of course, faster than we created the problem in the first place.
But therein lies the dilemma. It took us thousands of years to build this trajectory;
the higher we rise, the greater the descent.
Then again, accelerating the process will not soften the fall—it will intensify it.
“The harder they come, the harde they fall!”
In real Life nothing truly ends !
It changes and evolves. It transforms and ‘Transcends’ into something else, the ‘Next’.
Nothing gets lost—everything is reconfigured, amalgamates or,
in ecological sense—‘falls’ into place.
The simple wisdom here is: Life is in constant transformation. Life is motion.
Like water, it flows, evaporates, freezes, and interacts with its environment—serving as
a medium, catalyst, and agent all at once.
Realize and accepting these Eco-Dynamic realities makes life far easier to navigate.
Before rushing into new ‘algorithmic’ conclusions and repeating our cognitive fallacies
—perhaps painted green this time—we should pause, think again and after more
careful reconcideration, make our—always—life-changing choices with a deeper
attunement to the processes we are an integral part of.
Everything gets much easier when we realize that our Artificial Intelligence has also ‘created’
a consciousness that tends to generate algorithmic perceptions of reality—finite sequences
that are incongruent with the eco-dynamic transformation trajectory of evolution—revealing
not just the limitations of our intelligence, but of perception itself: a consciousness that rarely
transcends to an apperceptional level, where it becomes aware of its own framing.
By recognizing this, we might recover
a more socio-ecologically congruent intelligence
—one that no longer reduces life to sequences or confines it within algorithms,
but transcends the need for them, learning instead
to participate in its continuous transformation
—moving with its unfolding.
…and as this thought continues to unfold:
