Heart Sutra Reflections
Bodhisattvas have reached the point where neither attainment nor non-attainment has any meaning. Bodhisattvas not only see through delusion concerning the existence of Sansara, they also see through delusions concerning the existence of Nirvana. But that is not all. Bodhisattvas also see through delusions concerning the non-existence of Nirvana, for existence and none-existence are terms in a dialectic that does not apply to what is beyond all duality.

What type of database systems do sentient planets use to communicate/sync the vast memory encoded in atmospheric electromagnetic resonance patterns, with each other? What are the protocols of this network?

Popular notions of time-travel & retro-causality assumes a linear flow. Instead, try thinking of time as as infinite dimensional latent-space out which experience is user generated. As Robert Lanza put it: "The universe is the spatial/temporal logic of the animal observer".

Generative AI is fueling a communication revolution, the media artefacts are just fun side effects. It will fundamentally redefine how people express themselves and relate to each other. For example, translate will expand from lingo2lingo now, to complex cultural context2context

The art of deliberately shifting ones perspective and exploring things from various levels of abstraction is an underappreciated yet invaluable practice.

A core assumption of neuro- and computer science is that computation is local & independent - that the brain is effectively separated from the 'outside world' by a thin box of bones. In reality, every 'box' is highly leaky and everything is deeply intertwingled.

Relax
Relaxation is one of the most complex phenomena. It is very rich and multidimensional. Just relax and let things be as they are, that is the meaning of meditation.
To learn about the value of relaxation, experience intense stress and tension: Tension means hurry, fear, doubt - a constant effort to protect, to be secure, to be safe, to prepare for the tomorrow now.
Relaxation is an art: like other arts, the more you practice the more proficient you become. The more relaxed you are physically, the easier it is to relax mentally. Gradually and gently, slow down every process. Don’t be in a hurry, don’t be in haste, don't seek, don't demand - relax. If you relax, things magically fall in place.
Total relaxation is the ultimate and possible. It brings the greatest joy, acceptance. Your life will have the quality of dance to it.

Paradoxically, extremely stupid things are overwhelmingly done by extremely intelligent people throughout history.
The study of stupidity is a unexplored territory. It isn't merely the antithesis of intelligence, but a standalone phenomenon that permeates all strata of society, propelling evolution in peculiar ways. In our pursuit of AI, it's high time we also explore Artificial Stupidity.
