you can't overcome mind by throwing more mind at it.

you have to do meaningless (mindless) actions to shut it down gracefully.

the inner fight should not make sense but you still do it.

things that doesn't make sense to do, is very meaningful.

that's why most zen proverbs are contradictory in nature yet they work because they paralyze the mind.

The thing is, I'm not even using the word ironically.

During Covid I began to listen to more podcasts with people like Jonathan Pageau. He's an intelligent and eloquent speaker on issues of truth, values, and belief.

Over time I have come to understand and appreciate his worldview, and therefore will give him the benefit of the doubt. When he begins to speak of eschatology, and refer to AI as the Moloch, I genuinely want to understand how someone could arrive at such a strange conclusion.

The truth of is that this type of “end of the world” mentality has been part of different religions forever. My armchair theory is predicting the demise of humanity is a form of protection for the ego. A way of trying to exercise agency over their ultimate fate. "I won't die, the world will end".

There are groups of people that appear to be scared and confused right now about many things in culture. And they are saying some pretty wacky things about technology as a result. While I have no issues with the church, the use of apocalyptic narratives to stoke unease in people who are already fragile is not helpful.

One of the reasons I build an AI by combining many great minds is the hope that such conclusions are going to be cancelled out by proper reasoning by others. If a generally correct person has wrong ideas in a domain, then experts of that domain can erase those ideas. Purely battle of probabilities.

Similarly to death displacement, I could add "comparing mind". It must be a comforting thought "Everybody else is getting worse, and I am doing better than average. Feels great! Lets find out what else is going bad in the world". The problem here is they are trapped in their validation walls and continue to live in there as a perpetual prepper.

Fear becomes their identity and now they have to feel that to feel alive because they forgot other feelings.

The AI eschatology crowd is sitting on the sidelines as well which what leads to them to make these totally uninformed comments.
