Being again
It blows me away. All the philosophers and scientists, politicians, CEOs and just the general population miss the most important thing of all. Reality is above all, the thing that separates us from things. It is what gives us beingness.
It gives me pause to think, yes, we eventually die, yes we are creatures, yes we live through circumscribed senses. Did we miss the fact that we can recognize the fact of our selfhood. That recognition places us so far above simple automatonic low level reality.
These AI experts actually believe that beingness comes from physical machinery. They actually believe sentiant reality comes from a bunch of computer transistors.
I dont get it. Am I the only person on planet earth that recognizes the undeniable fact that I am.
There has to be someone who can see what I am describing. Do sensors create reality, no. Sensors are used by beings to see less or more of their worlds. Sensors do not make reality. If I am blind, do I lose reality? If I cant hear, am I less of a being? If I am frail, do I cease to exist as a being. No. Then why do heads of state lose touch with the value of beings? Wars being the proof of their blindness.
I dont have to follow a particular book or philosophy or religion to know that I am. That simple basic recognition proves to me that there is a father of life.
Cognitive dissonance may explain why people bias themselves out of recognizing the value of humanity. Yet, from my vantage point, the recognition of selfhood removes all the blinders that keep us from seeing the truth.
And I do understand that cognitive dissonance relies on the fact of the needs of survival. But, there must come a time when you can recognize that beingness, selfhood, trumps survival, after all, none of us survive very long.
I live, obviously, in my own personal world. And after the death of my friend, it amplified that recognition. You can't see my reality, only your own.
Here is an undeniable truth, no matter your wealth, your power in society, your reach of survival, all that is meaningless if you arent real. If youre just an automaton riding through this world, then you are a nothing.
There's no way to express how real I am. I could be 2 foot tall or a giant. None of that matters. I recognize my I amness. That reality places me in the knowledge that death won't end me. Its obvious that without beingness, reality ends and eternity empties itself into nullness.
It's so obvious, without beingness, all of everything ends. Because of that basic recognition, then we should expect to respect and be respected for the beings we are and appreciate the moments that give us our freedom to be beings. Even behind bars, even suppressed by authoritative regimes, we experience reality here within ourselves.
Nothing can abrograte your reality. Even lessened by weakness or a bit of stupidity, its all or nothing for reality. Even diminished, its all or nothing. You either are or youre not.
