Shree: Silence is Killing

Silence is killing nowadays – or at least the collective experience seems to suggest! The engrossment in individual worlds of imaginations, systems, tasks, sequences have ruptured the connection or formation of what does an idea of collective mean! Without this anchor, I am not really sure how would individual survive spiritually?!

Engrossment in individual worlds means individual sense of time, activities, routines, spaces, tasks and so on. That has effects on abandoned public ideas of spaces and time – sharing, debating, discussing etc., abandoned common/ natural resources and exploitations of those, abandoned collective values of morality and so on. This also had terrible effects on nurturing and caring values or anything that is empathetic and values of family breakdown and so called “institutions” are required to take care of issues that we face as humanity!

There is no dissent over “public spaces, time, values etc.” (or perhaps the dissent is a cold non verbal dissent expressed in AI platforms and that platform itself has overtaken real time-space imagination. That the virtual platform can become so powerful a force can be seen by making things viral or by any written word that can spark off a wordy debate and bring something “out” into real space-time matrix.

Instead of sub conscious vibrations informing real space-time imagination, is it the AI that informs subconscious patterns of existence that get expressed in the visible domain?!

A new form of weapon has come – compliance, control, surveillance, isolation of all kinds and thereby making one feel very weak. By following the pulls of “desires”, it leads one nowhere.

This also means that the mind can make anything “real” and in this reality the notions of connections, consciousness, relationships, publicness and private, anchors, belonging, feelings matter a lot.

If AI can be seen as an extension of the mind, then how should it actually work to strengthen connections, instead of disrupting them?
