The consciousness and intelligence that is beyond AI
Question from the Internet:
“What is beyond artificial intelligence?”
Beyond artificial intelligence, there is a unique collective Human consciousness and intelligence we are obligated to come to.
Our inherent consciousness, intelligence, and perception are 100% egocentric, subjective, and individualistic. As a result, we are incapable of sensing, researching, and understanding reality “as it is.” Instead, we sense and “compute” a very limited and distorted slice of reality since we are interested in, attract, and consume only the data and information that we deem useful for our 100% self-serving, self-justifying, and exploitative calculations and aspirations.
We do not see anything and anybody objectively, but we actually see our own reflection in everything and everybody since we pain everything with our own egocentric and subjective qualities and intentions.
It is this limited human perception, consciousness, and intelligence that is driving us towards a seemingly inevitable and imminent self-destruction as billions of individuals try to accumulate and consume everything for themselves while happily surviving and succeeding at the expense of others and nature.
Thus, even for our physical survival, we will need to abandon our original perception and consciousness and build a collective and mutually integrated state of existence.
We will have to repeat — but in our case willingly, consciously, and purposefully — the evolutionary breakthrough single-cell organisms achieved when they started combining into multi-cellular organisms for the obvious evolutionary benefit.
Since we will have to do this consciously and purposefully — above and against our original single-cell and cancer-like nature — we will gain the above-mentioned, unique, and unparalleled collective consciousness and intelligence that has no equal in nature’s system.
It is this collective Human consciousness and intelligence — to which each individual will contribute with their unique individual qualities, abilities, and viewpoints — that will become nature’s only conscious operating mind. As a result, we will become nature’s equal partners in creating and nurturing life in the whole system.
Instead of being perplexed or awed by AI — which we are creating with our limited, distorted, and misguided original consciousness and intellect — we need to focus on building and developing the true and supreme consciousness and intellect, which is our collective Human consciousness and intellect.
