Aho Mitakuye Oyasin... All my relations. I honor you in this circle of life with me today. I am grateful for this opportunity to acknowledge you in this prayer...
To the Creator, for the ultimate gift of life, I thank you.
To the mineral nation that has built and maintained my bones and all foundations of life experience, I thank you.
To the plant nation that sustains my organs and body and gives me healing herbs for sickness, I thank you.
To the animal nation that feeds me from your own flesh and offers your loyal companionship in this walk of life, I thank you.
To the human nation that shares my path as a soul upon the sacred wheel of Earthly life, I thank you.
To the Spirit nation that guides me invisibly through the ups and downs of life and for carrying the torch of light through the Ages. I thank you.
To the Four Winds of Change and Growth, I thank you.
You are all my relations, my relatives, without whom I would not live. We are in the circle of life together, co-existing, co-dependent, co-creating our destiny. One, not more important than the other. One nation evolving from the other and yet each dependent upon the one above and the one below. All of us a part of the Great Mystery.
Thank you for this Life.

>"Emergent control is not the execution of a plan or policy, but the unmanageable exploration that escapes all authority and obsolesces law. According to its futural definition control is guidance into the unknown, exit from the box."
at least that's what Land says. that it's probably gonna take an unleashing force, to push the baby bird outta the nest

>§5.8 — Whether history ‘in general’ is anything other than the history of money remains an open question. Certainly, the distinction between ‘history’ and ‘pre-history’ seems to have been decided by monetary innovation. The earliest digital recordings are accounts.[1] In the beginning was the registry. If this distribution of emphasis seems unbalanced, the fact that – in our own time – a distributed ledger manifests primarily as a monetary innovation tends, nevertheless, to vindicate it. Commentary in the “Bitcoin is about much more than money” vein, while copious, also comes later. The monetary model sets the matrix.

obviously.

kind of out of nowhere, this is the kind of place where questions of memory, recording, consciousness, technology and time become interesting also. in the other Cosmotechnics thread (https://boards.4channel.org/lit/thread/12617504)) Land retweeted a spooky remark by ZeroHPLovecraft about the encephalization of capital and so on. these are the kinds of AI/singularity/w/ev questions that get one's continental noggin joggin'.

when we talking about money, memory, technology, and so on, where are the new lines and distinctions to be made? are there any? what is being recorded, what is being exchanged, what is the best way to describe these processes, where are they heading, what do they emerge from? all of this stuff.

The drone-owners will be infected with humanity, nothing inhuman makes it out of the near-future. A superintelligence far beyond any human can manipulate any human for its own ends. This superintelligence is the collective intelligence of humanity.
