I have definitely had the thought that the predicted AI “singularity“ might be pointing to a human singularity, or Omega point instead 💕. Maybe I’m just hoping 💕

Just as history is full of panpsychists, you've also told us before that it is equally full of men and women touting that the end is near. You are slowly getting there 😄. But it might just be that there's still a lot to do here. Much love Jamie!

Mind bending.. thank you for all of these links and insights. Omega Point or bust, indeed!

this link doesn't work - check out this ten minute animation with Columbia physicist Brian Greene - it leads to Notion, and a message that I don't have access.

I had to read this one a couple times... I'll take the Omega point over the singularity any day of the week.

The Germans have a word for what you are helping others to build through your collected works – weltanschauung, or world view. Based on "Recapture the Rapture," I should use the trifecta of Occam's Razor, Pascal's Wager, and Bayesian Probability to weight each of the following for my Meaning 3.0:

- North, Planck, et al.'s Panpsychism & Teilhard's Omega Point at the largest schema

- Girard's Mimetic Desire and cognitive scientist's mirror neuron at the species level

- Some -ism form of mindfulness (ie. Buddhism, Stoicism, Mysticism) at the intrapersonal

- All aided and merged by a flow inducing practice (yoga, concerts, outdoor recreation, etc.)

Like Blake wrote: "I must create a system, or be enslaved by another man's" (RtR, 259).

Note on Panpsychism: Phillip Goff's "Galilieo's Error" is a solid introduction.
