Show moreHumans are a mix. They have a physical body—the stuff of flesh and
bones and matter—which medicine pays attention to, mostly. When we think in
terms of a substance or physical body constructed of atoms and molecules, we
also must think about an energy part, an information part, and a consciousness
part. They are all part of us. The beginning is to recognize that we are all
Souls and we need a body, like a suit, to experience distance–time reality. It’s
like a diving bell that you enter to go deep into the ocean to explore several
miles down.

Show more“In a famous paper called, "On the Danger of Stochastic Parrots", AI
researchers, Emily Bender, Timnit Gebru, and their co-authors predicted exactly
this phenomenon. See, humans are hardwired for language. If we see a string of
words that make grammatical sense, we naturally search for and find meaning in
it, and we naturally tend to assume that there must be a mind like ours behind
it, even when all we're looking at is word-salad barfed out by a probabilistic
parrot. As the researchers wrote, "…the tendency of human interlocutors to
impute meaning where there is none can mislead both NLP researchers and the
public into taking synthetic text as meaningful." And that makes language models
dangerous, because it means that we naturally trust what they say. The potential
harms of that are enormous.”

Show moreWhen I write, I go for insights rather than explanations. To me, it
takes time, reflection, and work to arrive at a fresh insight. On paper these
insights may not look like much, but I find technical and research writing
fairly useless when they fail to offer insight. I say all this to help the
reader read this book differently than he or she might handle a typical modern
work of psychology. Don’t search for proofs; look for insight.

Show more“What's wrong with our world … is that we have allowed our whole world
to be dead. We imagine it as lifeless so we can we can bring our microscopes and
our instruments to study it. But it is dead. It has no soul. It has no principle
of life. It has no intention. … It's just there and…we can't relate to it. We
can only operate on it and do things with it, and exploit it. I think that's
what's killing…people, seeing that the world around us is dead. How can you live
then? … You have no guidance. You have no support. … You can't walk in the woods
and feel that you really are, really know, that you're in a community with the
trees and the plants. You can't know that if your scientific
worldview…objectifies that world and makes it lifeless. So that, I think, is one
of our huge problems. If you have that world alive, you can listen to it every
day. You're not going to be lost because you'll get guidance without any
problem.”

writing them from my mind. Really, I'm not. I'm writing them from my heart. …
It's not writing from my mind. … I have done a lot of study in my life, but I
filter it all through my heart, really. And I think I write all these books that
way. I'm interested in the beauty that's there. And I think the beauty aspect
comes from the heart. … I'm always working so hard to get the right words and
words that really are worth reading, you know,…and not just expressing an idea
or a fact. … I always tell people I never offer any information. I'm not
interested in information. I'm just interested in working an idea and making it
something you might love and want to be associated with and maybe make part of
your life.”

Show moreLeanne Whitney: What would you say, what is your core definition of
soul?
Thomas Moore: Well, I think it depends on the day I'm talking, because I have
different interests in mind. But today, I think I have an image rather than a
definition. My image is that the soul is like a spring. It's like a spring, like
the water coming out of the ground, that kind of a spring where your life sort
of bubbles up or streams out of this place. And you find your life coming up
from within you. … So I guess if you want a word that would be closest, it would
be source or spring.

Desinformation och ren lögn trängs i den digitala etern. … Det politiska
etablissemanget trodde sig kunna tygla den våldsförhärligande rörelse som den 30
januari 1933 kommit till makten då Hitler utsetts till rikskansler. Bara ett par
månader senare var Tyskland förvandlat till en diktatur. En liknande naivitet om
vad som står på spel i de dagspolitiska strategierna saknas inte i dag.”

Show moreWho does not know that you can throw the best methods, the latest
equipment, and a lot of money at people who do not trust each other and still
get miserable results? Who does not know that people who trust each other and
work well together can do exceptional work with less than adequate resources?
We all know these things, privately and personally. But in our public life, we
refuse to credit what we know—indeed, we actively deny it—constantly succumbing
to the institutional illusion that the logic of the human heart is irrelevant to
“real-world” operations that must produce a strong “bottom line.”

Show more”Suppose that a person tasked with ensuring safety of an AI system
secretly believes that humans are terribly and irreparably flawed as a species,
and their only positive role in evolution is to create and empower a superior
“robot race” that would presumably then subjugate or exterminate “useless
humans.” Ideas of this nature are being seriously proposed and discussed in the
open these days by a number of well-known and well-respected AI researchers…,
and a lot of people seem to be quite sympathetic to this line of thought.
Now, let’s think about that. Putting aside the veracity of these ideas, it is
clear that if a person harboring such ideas is involved with AI safety, he or
she might be inclined to use his or her position in order to sabotage even the
most stringent AI safety protocols, thereby putting other humans at risk.
Moreover, this person would not have any moral reservations about doing that,
for he or she would believe to be fulfilling what they perceive as their
“evolutionary duty.”
Clearly, no safety protocol can be made 100% proof if the people who design and
implement these protocols do not act in good faith. Especially, if they are
driven by their personal “metaphysical ideas” (for lack of better word) of the
kind discussed above…”

Show more“For centuries, scientists viewed the world as a collection of objects
interacting with each other but independent of the observer, and for this reason
any hints of the subjective were criticized and rejected. However, since the
beginning of the twentieth century, with such landmark achievements as quantum
mechanics, general relativity, and Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, science has
been teaching us that we can’t really disentangle the observer and the observed.
Thus, the taboo of the first-person perspective was lifted and gradually, more
scientists started to pay attention to it. However, there is still a long way to
go for us scientists to welcome and integrate the subjective and the
first-person perspective into our science-informed worldview. Furthermore, I
think we urgently need to do that today precisely because of the challenges
posed by AI safety issues.”
