Yes agree, but it can be used to influence/control our thoughts. It’s a sort of feedback loop used to collect data whilst also gradually feeding back nudges to change behaviours/thoughts and mapping/categorising humans within categories (form of taxonomy, but of the mind). Ultimately, it comes down to the moral framework of the ‘creator’ – it is implemented by humans, so the purpose of it comes from their intentions…which from my perspective is dubious at best.

ooops – link needs an “h” at the extreme left to work .

Well said! Also be aware of the possibility of a total con:

I may differ from your complete skepticism only by acknowledging that AI – last 15 months or so, does suggest very real advances in search engine technology and natural language computer interface. Nothing artificial about that – humans are good and getting better at computer engineering – for both good and evil ends.

The shadow-side of those who claim to be awake runs in the acceptance of “You are being lied to!” as the truth of their awakened status.
But instead of awakened curiosity as to
‘why or how would I – (or anyone) – want to buy into and believe destructive fallacy in place of true fulfilment of being?’
The position of supremacist operates to claim ‘truth’ as basis to demand proof.
For everything is made a lie when no truth is recognised, accepted and shared in joy & gratitude for being.

Mind control always starts at home, in our own life, as a basis for engaging a matrix of manipulations that I generally use the term ‘ego’ for – as it isn’t truly alive but only runs on the life we give it – as if to get thereby some gain of function – or indeed fiction.

The mind in living service is of a different nature. There true authority because we do not author or create our own existence. However our concept of Creator will reflect our current consciousness – ie a ‘controlling or coercive god’ that is also ‘loving’. (Or a non existence in which matter forms a genesis of code instructions)

Thinking is a sign of God – even to think ill or poorly. Awareness through thought is a focus for consciousness beholding All That Is. A focus set through a glass darkly perceives a world in opposition, competition and conflict. As a tool it can serve the purpose of its maker, but as a tooled mind we no longer know what we do, for the self its use grew in us is false.

The prodigal son ‘runs a head’ with a mis-taken set of inheritances that inexorably spirals to a state of desecration, desolation and despair. Bottoming out is not merely a bad time, but utter wretchedness revealed – without a thought to hide in. Yet that is the very instant of recognition & remembrance. Why? Because you are not the thing you observe, judge or thought to become. Nor ever truly were. Though the mind recoils, the heart knows. And there’s a basis for serving rather than leading the heart.
But not the ‘heart’ of a love set as weakness, frail or broken. But of a willingness to ask in faith of love for truth recognisable in place of a conflicted & fragmented ‘peace’.

Great band! The Japanese are always way out there…

I think this is a key point – we are all unique expression not just of the Creator/Creative – but of the catastrophic breakdown of connected being – ie Separation trauma – by which we acquire, learn and adapt a masking ‘identity’ within a collective social focus of conflict displacement and evasion.
In this way we auto-map our inner conflicts to others as self-protective strategies by association – much of which runs ‘below conscious notice’.
This runs a ‘getting mode’ that can seem loving when each gets what they bargained for – yet turns to hate in an instant if the terms are broken.

The nature (nurture) or tech-man is a replicant – or a replicator of what is already life, into systems of definitions serving predictive control as gain of function.
Thus the model for control needs only map to manipulatable perceptions & behaviours. It doesn’t need to ground in reality to access the experience of ‘making life in its own image’.
In fact it MUST deny reality to access such an experience – and induce another to ‘share in the same fruits’ so as to ‘see reality through virtual eyes – and repel all incoming messengers!

Narcissus as a ‘possession’ of a mind phished by its own image, thought and identity.
The need for a real relationship outweighs temporary discomfort!

We can observe the patterns in our own consciousness – without requiring the neurological model as an authority of explanatory support’.

In UrText of A Course in Miracles, ‘possession fallacies’ (identity conflicts) underlie perceptual distortions (& behaviours).

Possession limited to bodies. (Body as a getting mechanism or weapon-and separating device).

Possession of and by things.
Possession by ‘spirits’ (projected denials).

(The belief runs equally as fear of dispossession).

Uncovering or dispelling fallacies releases to awareness of the always already (but obscured) truth.

Attempts to systemically schematise life to maps or models of predefined predictability must extend a predicate decision, guess or assumption.

The usefulness of a tool to break out of a vicious spiral, is not a basis for raising above question- ie making all else subordinate to its worth-ship.

Our ability to mask a sense of self-lack, self-conflict and selfishly blind or loveless & destructive or depleting motivation, to ourselves and others, is also a socially reinforced ‘identity’ of conditioned ‘self-protections’ that use external projections for inner evasions and denials.

A scientifically tooled linguistic mind polarises to quantified systems of assigned ‘social’ value or utility – hence gender as a variation from a neutered abstraction to a scale of identified values, instead of the relational experience of gender as the field and interplay of complimentary exchange.

Robot replacement is an inside job.

If I might jump from job to Job – the Satanic tempt or wager ran the claim that Man (God’s Creative Creature) is but a robot.
Satan then ‘tested’ Job to gaslight Job into denial of living faith for social guilting inclusion, but Job did not accept it.

Jesus exemplifies that same refusal to support socially reinforced moral guilting or ‘scapegoating’ under a god of loveless dictate masked as the ‘moral dictate’.
(Which may well have been a necessary adaptation or accommodation of law under far more brutal or catastrophic conditions). Tribal coherence (Law) was essential for physical survival, underpinning consciousness development.

Exactly! “Predictive Policing”. Should anyone ask why some guy was shot by the cops it will be because of a 87% probability of him committing a crime. No one else in the vicinity showed such a high percentage. And the system is by definition impartial and is being fed a tremedous amount of live data. So the assessment to shoot him will have been justified.

Many management and personal trainers, and psychiatrists, depend on this verbiage of brain hemispheres for a living.
