Beliefs do not exist, like the words we use. What we have are neat, retrofitted explanations that foot the bill. Sportscasting about those actions that never used words to get there, they just seem to. Pretty fascinating the retro marriage of words and tech gets us here, to a kind of Gutenberg stage of restriction. Words and narratives are low-bandwidth compression for meaning. It's simple. How did we get stuck here? We were lazy Pleistocene kids, and lazy Pleistocene kids we remain. Think hard now, the words are being used to extinct us. How did we get stuck here? Math? Status? Money? a combination of all these. Look at the status drive that pretends we have beliefs in this post. Read it carefully. Do we have beliefs, or do we simply have actions (neural syntax)? Debate me, don't just downvote me, that's proving my point. Time to rethink all communication. |
