You or AI? That depends on if you are willing to accept things as you’ve been told or are willing to question them to find out the truth. Do you believe the official version of the events of September 11? Someone who just believes what they are told will probably stop reading here. They already know and don’t need to hear any more nonsense. They know the events as they are. But did you even investigate or look at other views? Do you believe the official version was given during the COVID-19 pandemic? Have you ever questioned it?
If you are satisfied with the official version, then you trust someone else who has investigated events and come to the correct conclusions, someone smarter and more informed than you, so you can trust their conclusions and rely on their answers. All you need to do is sit back, listen to what you are told, and repeat it back if asked. If that is you, please stop reading. This is not for you.
We are fed a constant stream of information every single day by others who supposedly know better and are smarter. If you receive your information that way, as AI begins to become a source to seek the answers for information, you will accept the answers it gives you, assuming it is smarter and knows better, has access to more information, has superior computing power to synthesize and analyze and come up with the conclusion which is best informed so therefore true. But is that intelligence? Is intelligence the amount of information you have? Or is intelligence the ability to question and find out for yourself?
We have this complete misconception that because you can repeat something you have heard, that means you know something. And the ones who are able to repeat the most information are the most intelligent. They aren’t. Intelligence is the ability to question, investigate, and use one’s own sense of discernment to discover what is true. Not based on what someone else has said but because the facts and acts of the experience become one and the same. In other words, what you are seeing is no different from what you are experiencing directly. That is called Direct Perception. It’s when you see it as It Is.
Artificial intelligence is gathering information about what has already passed, no matter how fast it can synthesize and analyze all that it will never be in the present. That is what makes it “artificial”—it is not alive. That is the difference between us and machines. That’s what makes us ALIVE—the ability to perceive in this moment what something is the very same moment we are experiencing it—instantaneously. That’s what separates us from artificial reality. No matter how fast or advanced it seems to come, it will never come into this moment. It will never experience the fact and act of creation, which at this moment is how we know we are ALIVE—through direct perception.
Nobody told you that you were alive. You just KNEW. You don’t need information to know that—it just is. Our reliance on outward sources to tell us what is true and our reliance on that rather than our own perception of things deprives us of the ability to act intelligently. With the emergence of AI, humans will be fed at a faster rate and, in more direct ways, the information of what things are and how to interpret them. To bring about intelligent changes in our world that will actually address the challenges we face, we must rely on our direct perception of things to find out their meaning. Using this natural faculty, reject what we find to be false and embrace what is true even if it goes against the way we are told things are or given as the solution. Because of that, my friends are intelligent.
