Other random thoughts
Quantum processors appear perfectly suited for machine learning and A/I. A QP working with data processed by traditional GPUs/CPUs would seem a close approximation of how a human brain is composed. It would allow for agentic inputs of specific sensor driven models to be consumed by a core that inherently assesses information on a probabilistic basis.
Is it really random or do you just not have all the parameters/variables for calculating the outcome?
We choose to pack in. And rarely, it seems, do we ever choose not to. This is metropolitan life.
Consider the city a maze. It’s not difficult to imagine it. The row after row of upwards reaching buildings, wall us in and confine us to designated paths with limited destinations.
Man becomes mouse.
For every five on the metro, four are plugged in. Plugged into a specially curated island universe. Every mouse has a refuge. Today, I did not jam myself into the first train, but the second was no less crammed.
It is beginning to dawn on me. A maze makes for a mouse mentality — seeing nothing of the natural world, save for slivers of the sky above. Moving forward or backward, every day a choice— the start and the finish.
What a strange way to choose to live.
A mouse in a maze. Can you imagine the anxiety? It just occurred to me that the mouse might not be looking for cheese. It’s not even looking for a way out.
The mouse isn’t looking for anything, movement is just mechanical. It is driven by an instinctual anxiety. Move or die.
So, what if the mouse isn’t looking for the cheese? What if it just comes upon it?
Panic, disphoria. It eats the cheese, not even because it fears there may never be cheese again. Somehow, deep down, the mouse knows there is always more cheese. Hunger doesn’t compel the mouse to eat the cheese. It does it because theres nothing else left to do, it’s eat the cheese or frantically traverse the maze until another cheese appears.
Cheese is to mouse as cheese is to man.
The metro always smells different. Like half-baked ideas.
Sticks and Stones
May break my bones
But I’ll heal
And emerge stronger
Words
On the other hand
May just sting me now
But they’ll haunt me a lot longer
Is the idea of zombies just a formalization of the brainwashing that is already known and happens? Following a “leader” in defiance of your humanity – to eat their brain (way of thinking).
