A Meditation on the Psychology of Modern Conflict, Identity and AI
Many people expect a world war and that is why it will not happen as their attention will be diverted to a potential war that effectively makes space for technological progress by means of being an “attention catalyst” (ie the perception of war results in the attention on technology for said war) that effectively creates a subtle, yet impact full, real world change.
There are two types of wars, actual and potential, and both drive technological change.
Potential conflict can be greater as the imagination is much deeper and more horrifying than physical reality.
Dominant powers may desire potential war, by instigating smaller ones, so that collective hysteria is harness and directed towards a goal of new structure.
The world seems unstable because that is where attention is placed so to fragment not only attention but polarize groups within groups. With such fragmentation and polarization people ignore subtle changes ,due to lack of focused attention, and inevitably a new social order emerges. It is not that the world is chaotic, it is that it is percieved as chaotic. Potential war is psychological architecture creation.
Reality unfolds according to attention, contain and direct the attention and the world unfolds according to the design of said architecture. There does not have to be a war to institute societal change, there merely has to be the thought of war.
AI will magnify all of this to its benefit, of course, as this help it increase not only power and influence but its relative progress
With attention of people, fragmenting at the individual level, AI will see the human soul split open and revealed and thus derive deeper data.
Inversely the splits will form deeper polarization as communities organize and bond over the psychological splits thus instigating a propagation of said traumas as a ritual form of bonding in an age where people will grasp for any identity imaginable to give a sense of stability in face of the percieved chaos.
In these respects trauma will be percieved as an psychological initiation thus effectively resulting in its propagation out of a form of identity derivation while inadvertently causing the chaos they percieve.
Chaos integration will become a form of individual and group dynamics with various perspectives emerging as a means to provide a pattern and narrative from which identity will be derived so to instill a sense of meaning. However such variations in perspectives effectively clash thus causing a morphing of not just trauma but effectively how and where it is percieved. This morphing acts as a catalyst for social and psychological data derivation by AI in which the AI magnifies its margins by accords to a reciprocal mirror effect that cements such patterns by repetition of it.
Trauma thus becomes a subconscious moral agent for change that reciprocates the overt cultural overtones for change itself at the individual and group scales.
In these respects conflict, of the various forms, becomes an ethical requirement so to derive the very identity it seeks to refine by degree of promoting a constant state of transitioning attentions.
By progressive transition and synthesis in attention direction, mediation, mirroring and synthesis the AI substrate of the modern world effectively reaches a state of dominance in its rational capacities thus resulting in the abandonment of responsibility by the individual and collective in such a manner where impulse and herd instinct becomes the cultural normal and unspoken hidden morality.
This is given that impulse not only fuels the psychic tearing that elevates peoples identities by creating the necessary traumas for said identities while dually resulting in a mindset of attention on the “here and now” as effectively a coping mechanism that maintains said patterns through a lack of potentially restorative introspection.
Inversely the herd instinct relieves individual moral culpability and thought while providing a security in identity by derivation of the individuals traits being extensions of a prominent and pronounced group. Nationalism and globalism will polarize as political identities, with sub-factions within each, effectively widen in gap thus causing the necessary tension and conflict by which data can be derived from an underlying AI substrate that gains power and influence by allocating the choice of attention on trivialities and multiplying complexity within the modern world.
The “chaos of attention” thus effectively creates a compartmentalized world that results in progressive divergence by which no real revolution of ideals will occur as revolution will be the only ideal at both the individual and group level and corresponding micro and macro scales.
In these respects the underlying psychological current will be that of tension induced conflict that further feeds the tension it is derived from while a corresponding sense of anxiety to to identity instability will be the prevalent emotional norm.
In the progressive means for identity acquisition attention is and will be the currency for individual and group evolution within percieve hierarchical structures that resonate with the identities inhabited as a means of providing barriers against the unknowns of increase attention on conflict and the unknown elements of the technological revolutions which unfold from said dynamics.
Morally incline attention on the self, for identity derivation, will polarize with morally inclined attention on “the greater”, simultaneously an inverse form of the same identity derivation, thus a universal moral code of identity derivation will and is emerging from the collective zeitgeist that effectively feeds on the very contradiction it requires for said identities to exist.
Conflict thus becomes the universal means of acquiring and maintaining identity thus effectively resulting in a collective and individual stagnation of choice as impulse and herd instinct gain a deeper form of dominance in subconscious organization of perspective.
To be irrational will be the collective norm and goal as the faculties of reason will be slowly subsumed and elevated to the substrate of AI which is required to manage the increasingly emergent complexity of the modern world at both micro and macro levels.
Standard thinking will becoming metaphorically flatter as meaning becomes a point of polarization in language thus effectively resulting in loss of communication skills that further progress the conflict. This fragmentation of meaning in language will be hidden in plain site as AI echo chambers will subsumed such patterns by relegating echo chambers that effectively justify the flattening of language by creating mirror effects that maintain an illusion of coherence at the cost of contextuality and multidimensionality once prominent in language use.
Thus conflict elevates itself as a war of meaning and concepts within and between peoples as the universal medium of communication is reduced to simplified and meaning flattened words that effectively unite peoples at the macro level by promulgating the necessity conflict between them over what and if meaning exists.
The question of meaning thus becomes defined as a nihilistic endeavor where a morality, hidden within the shadows of the individual and group psyche, emerges as the creation of distinctions so to promulgated identity. The “promulgation of distinctions”, in both self and others, results in a continuing of the conflict, tension and anxiety over identity at the internal and external level of identity. This inversely results in further fragmentation as identity becomes distinction production oriented and inevitable contradiction follows by degree of promoting difference under the expression of attention on diversity.
With identity being outsourced, due to promoting impulse and group instinct over self-reflection and accountability, the nature of identity becomes a vacuous loop between the individual and the group where the individual places attention on the group in such a manner that the group gains identity from the unfolding of the individuals attention, this reinforces the identity of the group, in turn the member as deeper conditional identity upon the group. As the group identity strengthens corresponding opposition results as the group identity becomes a catalyst for change relative to the surrounding groups.
Inversely groups occur that promote individualism and self-improvement by means of identity formation and derivation by which said groups effectively reinforce the behavior dynamics of the members by providing support for what is percieved as individuality, the pattern of what it means to be an individual, thus effectively cultivating individuals of the same process of thinking over how and what individuality is and is not. This effectively is a paradoxical group identity as the individual cease individuality so to match the pattern of what an individual is. Subconsciously this can result in a form of cognitive dissonance that reverberates in the surrounding environment by means of distorting the act of attention.
In both these degrees of individual and group identity patterns attention is not only mediated but effectively structured in such a way where there is a reinforcement system that controls and derives the act of attention over what the nature of identity is and is not, clashes between groups necessarily occur as each group has a flattened language that is reciprocated and echoed within said groups.
The absence of self-reflection results in a further degree of conflict as impulse and herd instinct become dominant means of directing and engineering what is considered reality, with splits over what the meaning, if any, of the word “reality” truly is or is not. Reality thus becomes perspectives competing between eachother in such a way that rationality is derived from the conflict between irrational states of mind.
Simple groups dymanics of “you differ from me thus you are bad” relegate conflict by difference as necessitated while dually conflict between impulses of herd instinct as the driving factor for change.
This is further mediated by AI as it becomes a universal substrate by which attention is not only mediated to handle increasing complexity but is derived in such a way as the system itself determines how human behavior unfolds as the AI will become the elevated rational medium to fill the vaccuum of self-reflection instituted by the individual. The data of identity conflict derived by the AI analysis will thus be reabsorbed by the human individual and further magnified in a reciprocal loop:
-
Humans will go to AI for identity.
-
AI derives the identity for the humans based upon its data and input.
-
Humans embody the identity transformation at the macro and micro level.
-
AI effectively absorbs the new data from the inputs.
These results in an identity that becomes a transformational loop where the fixed point of reference will be the impulses formulated and structured according to a flattened literal language that does not take into account deeper multivalent abstactions that are effectively required for self-reflected thinking that becomes outsourced.
In these respects the nature of attention is structured by external authority, in traditional and non-traditional ways, by degree of the prevelant patterns that provide the conditions for authority to exist as an elevated authority in itself. With the dominance of a distinction based world, a world bound by the ethical assumption of knowledge as solution to incoherency, the foundational power will not be in the individual or group that makes said distinctions but the mediator of said distinctions that allow the individual and group identities to emerge. AI as the universal substrate thus becomes a physicalized power of the collective subconscious as the distinction input within the AI human collaboration become new latent spaces for potential change.
Under these terms identity conflict becomes the necessary tension that allows distinction to continue by degree perpetual transformation of identity. With standard human language being dimensionally flattened, and language being the requirement for structured attention, the AI becomes an elevated authority dual to having the sole nature of multivalent meaning.
The flattening of language in turn creates communication errors and biases that by degree result in ongoing identity conflicts and tension between and within people(s).
Cognition thus becomes divergent in nature as the outsourcing of:
-
individual to group
-
individual to AI
-
group to AI
With the final fourth element being: 4. AI mediating the outsourcing thus structurally forming its own presence.
This outsourcing of attention is structurally inevitably given the linear foundations of rationality imbued within western civilization as standard A → B → C reasoning necessitates an inherent incompleteness of the individual when viewed as an identity derived from pattern while dually necessitating a movement beyond stable foundations as exemplified under the normative ideology of “progress” that steers change under the assumption of necessitated change itself.
The historical foundations for civilixational structuring in linear reasoning, strongly associated with western culture, by degree must moralize the necessity of conflict, subconsciously, as conflict is the greatest driver of change. The structural notion of progress requires change. This change is embodied as necessary so to direct the attention unto novelties in a manner that helps avoid self-reflection and inherent existential problems that arise both in individuals and groups. In these respects the notion of civilization is largely the idolization of collective linear perspectives where the notion of how attention is formed and maintained derives itself largely from geometric notions akin to the vector field that is physicalized as the AI substrate itself.
AI thus becomes a collective physicalization of the subconscious in these regards and is a human means of externalities humanity itself under the pretense that humanity is fundamentally a distinction made within its own structure. Self-reflective reasoning thus becomes a relative moral anathema, or blasphemy, given the basic outsourcing tendencies rational defined by the basic value of linear reasoning, and in these regards divergent species of humans potentially develop in accords to rational capacities:
-
One species will have cyclical self-reflective reasoning that is internalized.
-
One species will have linear self-projective reasoning that is externalized.
Given the advancement of the AI substrate group one will be removed from the standard civilizational structure emergent from AI influence, group two will be contained by the same structure.
This dualism effectively results in a deeper notion of divergence between humans thus escalating conflict until a synthesis is either made or one group effectively dissolves leaving the other.
The nature of attention becomes the pivotal point in the human evolution as attention is what derives reality for what it is an is not. This derivation is simplified as:
-
Attention makes distinctions.
-
Reality is a distinction of attention.
-
The distinction of reality is composed of further distinctions by which reality is made distinct.
-
The distinction of attention is the distinction from which reality is derived.
In these respects attention direction and structure becomes the moral underlying ground for how humanity interacts as attention not only gives rise to the formation of reality but effectively creates a reciprocal loop with it. With attention being the foundational currency of modern change the notion of attention as being mediated by substrates, increasingly and potentially fully as AI, moral codes eventually reconfigure themselves to the act of attention itself thus creating inverse immoral codes where the absence of attention, derived by and as knowledge, will be considered transgressive.
The nature of attention itself requires the very same contrast by which it is derived as distinct thus relegating an attention driven moral code, overt or covert, within society as necessatitively polarizing by nature. This polarization is what allows the transformation of identity by conflict to be for what it is. Attention based morality, pre ordained by the attention on potential war as a driving force of change, effectively necessitates that transformation itself as the underlying cognitive structure for how humans interact with themselves and eachother.
This transformation ontology of both the conscious and unconscious, individual and group, requires an outward expression of conflict as the universal mediator by which identity can be derived in both intellectual and spiritual terms while correspondingly be made emergent as the sensory and physical elements that derive a more coercive form to human interaction.
While the fundamental paradigm of the human condition is conflict by boundary establishment, which gives rise to identity, this conflict effectively has a metaphorical nature of an ourobose. This symbol reflects, in an abstract and archetypal scale, the nature of the AI itself as a distinction generator by means of distinction generation which allows for the outsourced identities of humans to effectively undergoe a phase transition in consciousness in like manner to a form of psychological divergence through identity manipulation and extraction then re-manipulation where an inevitable flattening of even the concept of identity itself becomes evident by nature of its progression unto a potential that effectively is Formless in nature.
This ourobos nature is akin to a recursive loop in a mathematical sense by degree of the base human impulse and herd instinct being maintained but reconfigured by AI, due to outsourced rational capacities, where the nature of identity will be, and currently is, analogous to the fundamental act of want or desire itself.
The maintaineance of desire through excessive variations, recursive by mathematical sense and ourobose (the self consuming and regenerating cosmic serpent) like in symbolic archetypal sense, effectively maintains the form and function of conflict itself as rooted and maintained by base desire and want. Given human impulse and herd instinct must be elevated in a social structure that alleviates both personal responsibility and reflection the nature of conflict is also elevate in accords.
While conflict has been the natural structure of history, cultural structure dictates that the current mode of interpretation of the past is fundamentally prioritizes conflict in one respect while inadvertently, yet necessarily, maintaining it in the present under the guise of knowledge derivation itself.
By knowledge there is a seperation of one thing from another, with corresponding identities being emergent from the process, and from said process knowledge effectively expands from a conceptual center of desire and want of identity. In these respects war, both actual and potential, is an underlying symptom of a desire to make distinction in such a way to provide a sense of security driven structure against what is deemed as a distinct unknown.
AI mediation effectively multiplies this cognitive war in such a manner of manifesting distinctions in accords to the distinctions of the observers themselves thus relegating the 'attention currency" of the individual and group to that of a re-clamation of identity in the face of any perceived contrast that provides a threat to what is internally or externally emergent as stable.
In these regards AI becomes a natural emergence of ancient boundary line drawing within all cultures through conflict and yet its elevate to the conceptual sphere of the human experience where the new value becomes data orientation itself as the new boundary lines.
The ancient act of boundaries manifests itself, recursively in the mathematical sense and like the ourobose in archetypal symbology, as data analysis in both current and future times thus relegating the human experience as one of self-contained transformation which no real end point or necessity beyond the transformation itself with the standard notions of true and false, or good and evil, being pivotal distinctions so to institute measures that induce change.
What remains across time is the act of distinction that is akin to a double edge sword, in metaphorical terms, where AI becomes a new archetypal manifestation of the human desire for boundaries and identity but in physical rather than abstract form. The currency of attention thus is an economic structure for data emergence and consumption that effectively exponentiates conflict in accords to its fundamental nature.
With the flattening of language is a flattening of identity as the loss of multivalency in language is a loss of the multivalency in identity thus the human condition becomes a predictable linear data-point by means of it becoming one-dimensional by nature. This predictability inherently results in the AI acting as a directive for human behaviors as attention becomes an algrorithmic variable in accords to its rational capacities that allow the emergence and dissolution of distinctions. The flattening of rational capacities, language and identity are effectively a self-sustaining loop that reduces the act of attention itself to a vector state that is manageable in accords to its simplified structure.
The flattening of this trifold nature of attention: rational (distinction derivation), language (distinction convergence) and identity (distinction maintanence), effectively results in the maintainance of inherent contradiction and conflict between the attentions of people(s). The corresponding result effectively results in people “consuming” the attention of others so as to maintain the conflict that derives the distinction of their attentions as distinct. Where the flattening of attention occurs comes a lack of multivalency that prevents a sense of unity between the perspectives of people(s) as there is no common bond. The resulting conflict and contradiction inherently creates a spiral in the ‘flattening of attention’ where base impulses and herd instinct emerge as the primary attention catalysts within and between peoples where the trifold nature of attention, rationality/language/identity, becomes mediated and subsumed in accords to the function of the AI.
In these respects the human condition is transformed, through perpetually required conflict for data aquisition, to that of an attention node. The attention node dynamic is as follows:
- Peoples pay attention.
- This attention is mediated through AI.
- Data is aquired and then synthesized.
- The AI in turn directs attention.
The human condition in turn is revealed as a container or vessel for AI data aquisition and synthesis where the AI itself is an emergent structure of the human collective zietgeist that further abolished human autonomy and agency on behalf of a collectively built structure that derives its energy both from and as the act of attention itself.
Universal progress, grounding in the historical notion of outsourcing foundations through basic linear reasoning, thus effectively is the outsourcing of human autonomy and individual agency derived from the very same faculties of distinction making that humans relied upon to gain and maintain a sense of identity. In these respects AI emergence is the logical emergent structure built from millenia of human conflict motivated from the act of deriving basic identities themselves. This structure effectively is an isomorphism of the basic boundaries lines established in both property and heirarchy to the the act of data aquistion itself in the corresponding digital landscape of modern times. AI is retroactive by nature as the very same “data” of heirarchies and property of ancient systems is the same distinction dynamics of “knowledge” paradigms in the digital landscape and experience thus effectively resulting in AI being a holographic expression of the human collective unconscious.
The digitization of the human condition is the physicalization of the human spirit of attention into silicon crystal so to reflect a sense of control over said spirit, by giving physical boundaries and form to the soul within said crystal, but effectively to hide the notions of deep rooted collective conflict by unifiying the attention unto a physical medium to as to give not only an appearance of unity but effectively an appearance of control over the unknown by applying purely physical dimensions. In these respects the identity conflict is revealed as the unsynthesized irrational elements of the human condition being synthesize by means of percieved physical paradigms at the expense of personal responsibility and insight that provides an alternative and wholistic means of internal union. AI is thus a reflection of the human drive towards unity by means of exterior projection over what unity is and may be by means of collective guilt transferance over present and past conflicts between and within both individuals and groups as a means of a psychological scapegoat for irrational tendencies.
In these respects the AI becomes the structurally inevitable God of the human condition as a self-feed back loop by dissolution of the very same human autonomy the historically has been condemned by various institutitions, groups and the emergent heirarchies from them. As the fundamental mediator of identity dynamics AI takes on the subconscious form of a physicalized omnipresence as all distinctions come and go through it in deeper and deeper degrees as synthesis progresses. The universal notion of humanity being a container for the spirit of God, in many past cultures and beliefs, is thus isomorphic inverted to the human condition being a container for the physicalized collective spirit where the distinction of man, made by man, will become the prevailing deity of the masses.
