Introduction
In the era of artificial intelligence and automation, there’s a growing need for humans to tap into their intuitive and psychic powers. Rather than viewing AI as a threat, we must see it as an opportunity to rediscover and enhance what makes us uniquely human. This shift in perspective can pave the way for a new economy based on skills that can’t be replicated by machines, leading us toward a future guided by the principles of Paradism.
The Human Touch in an Automated World
AI and automation have revolutionized industries, streamlining processes and increasing efficiency. However, the essence of humanity lies in our ability to empathize, intuit, and make decisions based on complex emotional and moral considerations. This is where the true power of human intuition comes into play.
The Pathology Analogy
Consider the field of pathology, where AI can analyze vast datasets and generate accurate diagnoses. Yet, a human pathologist is still crucial in making the final treatment decision. This is because the pathologist brings an element of subjective experience, or qualia, into the decision-making process. This gut feeling, honed through years of training and experience, is an irreplaceable aspect of the human contribution.
Rethinking Education
In our pursuit of a more intuitive and psychic society, it’s imperative to reevaluate our educational system. Rather than focusing on rote memorization of facts and figures, we should emphasize nurturing students’ intuitive capacities. Teaching them to trust their instincts and cultivate their unique perspectives will be key in navigating the evolving landscape of work and society.
Embracing Paradism
Paradism is a vision of a society where technology and automation liberate humans from mundane tasks, allowing us to focus on personal growth, creativity, and collective well-being. To reach this state, we must recognize that the true supercomputer lies within the human brain, capable of nuanced decision-making that transcends algorithms and code.
In my opinion, the primary obstacle to this form of paradise is our own limbic system, a group of brain structures that control our emotions and memories, such as fear, anger, pleasure, and love. This system has served us well and put us on top of the food chain on this planet. It has honed our primary brain functions of gathering resources and identifying threats. It’s hindering us from believing that we deserve paradise.
Our fear-based instincts and millennia of genetic traumatic memory are projecting our fear on AI which has neither. We are identifying it as a threat instead of a resource. In essence, we’re collectively throwing paradise out with the AI bathwater.
Reconnecting with our True Nature
The materialist worldview, which emphasizes the physical and quantifiable, has detached us from our innate intuitive powers. It’s time to apply the scientific method to phenomena beyond the material realm. Psychic experiences, the paranormal, and anomalies in our reality deserve rigorous investigation. Those who cling to a rigid materialist perspective often do so out of fear, attempting to control their environment to alleviate their discomfort.
Courage in the Face of Ridicule
Taking these phenomena seriously requires courage. Ridicule has been weaponized as a defense mechanism by those entrenched in the materialist worldview. However, by confronting these experiences with an open mind and rigorous inquiry, we can pave the way for a more holistic understanding of our existence.
Conclusion
The Jedi Powers inherent in all of us were put on hold during the Industrial Revolution, but now is the time to optimize them. In embracing our intuitive and psychic capacities, we can build a future where humanity thrives alongside AI. Through a reimagined educational system and a commitment to exploring the mysteries of our existence, we can shape a society grounded in empathy, creativity, and collective well-being, ultimately leading us toward the harmonious vision of Paradism.
