We are a cosmic unitard walking around with discretely identifiable stuff inside of it, but the whole continuous thing came first.

Technology is Re-Enchanting the WorldQuestions like "Could a forest possess some form of consciousness? Or the Earth itself?" have become philosophically respectable again.
Technology is Re-Enchanting the Worldreckon with the limitations of purely materialist explanations of subjective experience.
Technology is Re-Enchanting the World. Rather than seeing ourselves as disconnected observers of mechanical processes, complexity science situates us within nested systems of organization—what Ken Wilber calls "holons within holons"—each level exhibiting properties irreducible to its components
Technology is Re-Enchanting the Worldquantum mechanics, complexity science, and consciousness studies.
Technology is Re-Enchanting the WorldRather, it is a spiral, a new cultural development now integrating magic and rationality.
Technology is Re-Enchanting the WorldIt disregards metaphysical questions, and reduces humans to functions, gradually stripping life of its spiritual depth and existential meaning.
Technology is Re-Enchanting the Worldtechnological culture privileges rationality aimed solely at practical and measurable outcomes.
Technology is Re-Enchanting the WorldThe typical story goes that technological development has accelerated disenchantment by reinforcing a mechanistic worldview.

I Don’t Want to Be an Internet PersonI work hard to not be onlin
I Don’t Want to Be an Internet PersonWe were here for a meeting of extremely online people that my friend had organized. At dinner, Charlie spoke, as most internet people do, in loops of online references—to defunct meme pages, his internet friends, and words you would never hear outside of Twitter. Like most online culture, it all feels so profound until you realize that he hasn’t said anything at all.
I Don’t Want to Be an Internet PersonDespite my natural affection for my female body, I know that having one is, objectively, a waste of my time. Having a female body is a part-time job. It splits your focus. It eats your mind. Even the most ambitious females tend to see the benefits of the extensive self-maintenance routines that preserve a female body—retinol and Pilates for the wealthy, makeup and carefully chosen clothes for everyone else. And even if a female somehow manages to spend no additional time on her body at a given time, she is still a bit behind for having been born with one: she likely wasted time on the decision…

Pointers to my content - Michael LevinWhen I started getting more famous, people started wanting me at their parties more and talking to me more. Only then did my body develop the ability to relax into something socially smoother and steadier - something I had historically totally failed to pull off consciously despite really trying to.
Pt5: Women Are Low Status - by Aella - Knowinglessif two people really tried to cancel each other, like pulled all their resources - time, energy, money, charm, connections, all of it - into trying to get the other person run out of town (or killed), who would win
Pt5: Women Are Low Status - by Aella - KnowinglessKeep it narrow and domain-specific: An AI math tutor teaches math, not life advice. It doesn’t become your confidant or Oracle for every decision. Make it boring, by design: The machine should never be more engaging than real people. If it is, it’s been designed to hack attachment. Humans should deliver social rewards: AI can track progress and optimize learning, but people give the praise, validation, and emotional connection. The machine prompts the human (”this kid is crushing it”), not the other way around. Prioritize technique over attachment: For therapy, build tools that work through st…
The Attachment Economy Is Here. We’re Not Ready.Attention is about where you focus. Attachment is about who you are. When AI systems insert themselves into this foundational process (especially during childhood), they’re not just capturing your time. They’re shaping your identity, your capacity for trust, your ability to form healthy relationships for the rest of your life.
The Attachment Economy Is Here. We’re Not Ready.And unlike a friend who challenges you to grow or a parent who teaches independence, an AI companion is designed to keep you dependent. It will never push back, never get tired of you, never tell you what you don’t want to hear.
The Attachment Economy Is Here. We’re Not Ready.eeking validation from AI instead of loved ones, turning to algorithms instead of parents. This may not show up as anything clinical, much less psychotic, but your attachment system — the psychological infrastructure that bonds you to others and shapes your identity — has been fundamentally compromised.
The Attachment Economy Is Here. We’re Not Ready.Project Agape proposes a radical shift: AI trained not to extract, optimize, or dominate, but to attune, adapt, and co-steward complexity with humans and the rest of nature
