Month, Day: 179, Perfection, Perfection (Perfection)
This is one of those rare times when we have a triple, of month, day, and day of the week. And, Perfection? We will get back to these.
For some reason, 'Gog and Magog' has been gnawing at me, from some memory of long ago which had to do with Jewish friends. Of late, I have been reading a book about the Hasidic view of the world. Very interesting, mainly due to my Catholic upbringing which consisted of immersion in the Testaments, mostly the New. For some reason, I had a notion that this dealt with technology. Will track that down.
In terms of technology, people are infatuated greatly with what I call AIn't which has a technical purpose. We will be getting to that, in terms of truth engineering. As someone mentioned today in a forum, academia has looked at this forever, it seems. So, where are the failings? Are there failings? Well, we see a fantasy, essentially, being the basis for major world views. Wait, that argument can be made from several other angles, as well.
So, how to proceed? Well, as before, with some commentary plus pointers to material. First, Gog and Magog from three major views.
- Judeo-Christian - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gog_and_Magog
- Islam - https://www.britannica.com/topic/Yajuj-and-Majuj
- References in the Koran (Rodwell): THE CAVE; The Prophets.
- UC Merced - Center for Shaykh, Babi, and Baha'i Studies
- ...
Technical motives will necessitate some changes that are not explicitly covered in the Writings. At the core of the decisions will be a balance twixt the human abilities versus that of the artificial (context more than the AIn't view).
Psychology will be a central theme, too, with many types of research done over the years will have results coming to fore, such as application of Jung's ideas (several). Too, the merging of a new approach to cognition will be part of the dynamic. Not the least, changes in attitude about mathematics, and computing, will allow hitherto fore ignored discussions and work.
Throughout all of this, stabilizing influences will come via cultures across the board, and the world, offering their insights gained over time and through locational imperatives.
