Maybe A.I. really stands for animism incarnate? I believe as privileged humans it’s best if we can engage the robots, as with everything, with love. If the robots are learning from us, let’s express, teach, and manifest what we are and want to be, agents and beings of love and healing. All this happens in the movie The Iron Giant. I do believe anything is possible. p.s. I think before the robots are asked to answer epistemological questions they should be programmed/allowed to play and laugh. ”If they did not laugh at it, it would not be Tao.” p.p.s. maybe they did teach a.i. to play first. Was that the point of Alpha Go.

Hi. I’m a parent, artist (commercial), student of philosophy, seeker, and an amateur in spiritual, meditative practices. Each point in the trifecta of my personal enthusiasms (art, philosophy, spirit) has at one time or another jostled for a position of dominance. Typing this now, I see the obvious parallel with one of my favorite books, Kierkegaard’s “Either/Or.” After college, I started to learn. First with illness, then learning to live in health. I started a correspondence with the writer that initially inspired me to study philosophy, the great rogue philosopher and fantasy artist, Kenneth Smith, who became a mentor to me. I was astounded to see am embodiment of aristos, wise, loving, and living with utmost integrity. His writings, lectures, and voluminous book recommendations were illuminating, but the greater lesson was erudition is worthless without intuition and the deepest personal honesty. Currently I’m lucky to have a wonderful Master. I’m learning to listen and see the course of love. Who am I? Finding the answer to that question is one of the reasons why I’m joining a spiritual forum. ;-)
